Opportunity Summary:
The Research Grants (Generic) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00443) is a discretionary grant announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area (CFDA 15.650) and is presented as a notice that the agency intends to make a single-source financial assistance award rather than run an open, competitive solicitation. In other words, it is not a broad call for applications; it is primarily a public notification that a specific grant award is planned.
The intended recipient is the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (NHFG), and the award is described as a single-source financial assistance grant with an anticipated project period of about 16 months. The notice lists an award ceiling of $40,000, which signals the maximum funding level expected for the award described in the announcement. Even though the listing shows “Expected Awards: 0,†the narrative clarifies that the purpose is to announce a single-source award; the “0†is best read as an artifact of how the opportunity was posted rather than an indication that no funding will be issued.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the fact that the identified recipient is a state agency (NHFG). The posting date (Creation Date) is August 30, 2016. The “Original Closing Date†is effectively not applicable because the notice explicitly states that it is for notification purposes only, meaning there is no standard application deadline and no open application process for other entities.
