Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Research Associates for Visitor Services at Ash Meadows and Pahranagat NWRs" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00347) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding announcement using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It fell under the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity category and was tied to CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The core purpose was to support research associate positions that would function as Visitor Services Specialists at two National Wildlife Refuges in Nevada: Ash Meadows NWR and Pahranagat NWR.
The work described focused on strengthening public-facing refuge services rather than laboratory or field research in the traditional sense. The selected research associates were expected to develop and deliver interpretive and environmental education programs, provide visitor orientation, and help build and manage volunteer programs. In practical terms, this kind of role typically involves creating educational materials and programming that explain refuge resources and conservation goals to the public, designing and leading guided activities or outreach events, improving the visitor experience through consistent orientation and informational support, and recruiting, training, and coordinating volunteers to expand the refuges' capacity for education and community engagement.
Funding was set at a fixed amount with no range: the estimated total funding was $151,253, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also $151,253, indicating a single planned award at that level. The opportunity listed one expected award and stated that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was shown as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), but the eligibility section included a critical limitation: this posting was explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source," and it stated that no competition was expected and applicants should not apply. In other words, despite appearing as a general listing, the agency intended to make a non-competitive award to a specific recipient.
The notice was posted and created on July 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2014, and it was archived on August 29, 2014. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Joanne Hammaren, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at (702) 515-5454 or by email at joannehammaren@fws.gov. The listing also referenced Grants.gov as the source for the full announcement details via the provided additional information link.
