Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Research Grants (Generic)" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00112) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) discretionary funding notice for a cooperative agreement in the environment and natural resources area (CFDA 15.650). The notice is dated February 22, 2016, and it serves only as a public notification rather than an open solicitation. In other words, it is not inviting competitive applications and does not have a real application deadline, since both the original and current closing dates state that it is "for notification purposes only."
The purpose of the award is to support a single-source financial assistance agreement to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, a public/state-controlled institution of higher education (the eligible applicant type listed). The project period is expected to run for about 1.5 years, and the work is focused on collecting field data needed to finish an ongoing population modeling effort for piping plovers at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey. The emphasis is on field data collection that will feed into and complete a modeling project already underway, suggesting continuity with prior work rather than a brand-new research initiative.
The funding information provided indicates an award ceiling of $60,000. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which is consistent with the notice being informational and tied to a single-source action rather than a competitive program anticipating multiple awards. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the agency typically expects to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordination on study design, data needs, field access, or integration of results into refuge management), as opposed to a more hands-off grant structure.
The notice cites multiple statutory authorities supporting the award, including the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the Fish and Wildlife Improvement Act of 1978, the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Collectively, these authorities reflect the Fish and Wildlife Service's mandate to conserve wildlife and habitats, coordinate conservation actions, and support research and management activities that inform protection and recovery efforts, particularly for species of conservation concern such as the piping plover.
In practical terms, the opportunity is best understood as a formal announcement that DOI-FWS plans to fund SUNY-ESF for a targeted, time-limited research support effort at Forsythe Refuge, with the deliverable being field-derived data that strengthens or completes a piping plover population model. It is not an open call for proposals, so other universities or organizations would not be able to apply under this posting.
