Research Grants (Generic) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The opportunity titled "Research Grants (Generic)" (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00337) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) funding action that is being posted as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a standard competitive grant announcement. In practical terms, it is not an open call for applications and it is not asking the public to submit proposals. The agency is signaling its intent to make a single, specific award to a pre-identified recipient, and it states clearly that there is no full announcement associated with the notice. This type of posting is typically used for transparency when an agency plans to fund work without competition under an allowed exception in policy.

The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. Cooperative agreements are common for research or technical work where the agency collaborates on project direction, coordination, data sharing, methodology, or deliverables. The activity category listed is "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," and the assistance is tied to the CESU framework. Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESUs) are partnership networks that connect federal agencies with universities, non-profits, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education related to natural and cultural resource management. The notice indicates this funding will be issued under that CESU program structure.

Financially, the opportunity is small and fixed in size: the estimated total funding is $39,314, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $39,314, indicating the agency anticipates exactly one award at exactly that amount. The expected number of awards is 1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing references CFDA number 15.650, which corresponds to the FWS "Research Grants (Generic)" assistance listing.

While the eligibility field is marked as "Unrestricted" in the general metadata, the narrative text overrides the practical meaning of that field by stating the opportunity is not a request for applications and will not be competed. The agency cites departmental policy as the basis for the decision not to compete (505 DM 2.14,B.(2)), emphasizing that the non-competitive determination is within agency discretion. In other words, even though many entity types might be eligible in theory, the agency is not accepting competing applications for this particular action because it intends to issue a sole-source award.

Key dates included in the record show it was posted on August 29, 2013, created on September 4, 2013, with an original closing date of September 2, 2013, and a current closing date of September 9, 2013. For notices like this, the "closing" date typically functions more as an administrative window for the posting rather than a true application deadline, since the agency is not requesting proposals.

For additional details, the notice points to Grants.gov and provides a contact for access issues: Janice Mcneill, Contract Specialist, reachable at 404-679-4056 or janicemcneill@fws.gov.
