Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Research Grants (Generic)" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00320) on July 6, 2016. The planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal ongoing participation. The activity focus is aligned with environment, natural resources, and related information and statistics work, and it is associated with CFDA 15.650 (a Fish and Wildlife Service assistance listing).
This notice is not a competitive solicitation. It is a notification-only announcement stating the agency’s intent to make a single-source financial assistance award to the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, with a project period of about 16 months. Because it is single-source and for notification purposes only, the posting does not function like a typical open grant competition with a defined application window, required submissions from the public, or an actionable closing date. The listed "Original Closing Date" explicitly reflects that point by stating the announcement is for notification purposes only.
The opportunity metadata lists an award ceiling of $300,000. While the record also shows "Expected Awards: 0," that is consistent with the announcement being informational rather than an open call; it is not signaling that no funding will be issued, but rather that no competitive awards are expected through a public application process. Eligibility information in the posting indicates nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but in practice the award is specifically intended for the named organization, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey, as the sole recipient under this single-source approach.
