Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Research and Data Collection for Conservation Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00149) was issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. The project focus is scientific research and data-driven conservation work, specifically a collaborative study that spans multiple years and combines new field data collection with analysis of findings from prior studies. The stated purpose is practical and implementation-oriented: the research is intended to support and guide recovery actions for conservation projects, meaning the work is geared toward informing on-the-ground management decisions rather than producing research in isolation.
Financially, the opportunity was small and tightly defined. The estimated total funding was $4,492, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $4,492, indicating a single fixed award amount rather than a range. Only one award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient would not have been required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which aligns with technical and scientific support activities that help conserve fish and wildlife resources.
Even though the eligibility field is labeled as "Unrestricted," the announcement makes clear that this was not a competitive solicitation. It was issued as a Notice of Intent to Award on a single-source basis, explicitly stating that no competition was expected and directing interested parties not to apply. In practice, that means the agency had already identified the intended recipient or partner and published the notice primarily for transparency and documentation rather than to solicit proposals from the public.
The timeline reinforces that it was an administrative posting rather than an open call. The opportunity was posted and created on April 26, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 10, 2012, and an archive date of May 11, 2012. For further details, the listing pointed to Grants.gov, and it provided a point of contact at the Fish and Wildlife Service: Brenda Krone (775-861-6314, brendakrone@fws.gov), specifically for help accessing the full announcement electronically.
