Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity under the broad heading "Research Grants (Generic)" with the specific project focus of "Analysis and Reporting of Data Associated with Salt Marsh Integrity." The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. The activity category is environment and natural resources, and it is listed under CFDA number 15.650.
This is a single-source financial assistance action intended for one specific recipient: the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. In practice, that means it is not being competed openly across a wide pool of applicants. The listing reflects that by stating the announcement is for notification purposes only and by showing no active closing date. While the eligibility field broadly references public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the narrative makes clear the intended recipient is the University of Delaware.
The project period can extend up to five years, but the total federal funding is capped at an award ceiling of $25,000. The posting lists expected awards as zero, which is commonly seen in notification-only records for single-source or already-identified awards, where the opportunity is published primarily to document the action rather than to solicit proposals.
The legal authority for the work draws on a suite of foundational federal conservation and wildlife statutes. These include 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 support federal involvement in conserving fish and wildlife resources, coordinating with other entities on habitat-related actions, and conducting or supporting research and reporting that informs resource management decisions, including in sensitive ecosystems like salt marshes.
The opportunity was created and posted on March 17, 2016, under funding opportunity number F16AS00135. Overall, it is best understood as a targeted, cooperative research support action for analyzing and reporting salt marsh integrity data, documented through a public posting even though it is not an open, competitive call for applications.
