Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Research Grants (Generic)" (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R4 12 005), is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action being handled as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. The key point is that it is not an open, competitive solicitation with a full public announcement. It is explicitly labeled as a notice of intent to award, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient and is proceeding with the award rather than inviting new applications.
The intended awardee is the University of Florida. The work is being supported through the CESU framework, which is a partnership model used by federal agencies and their partners to carry out research, technical assistance, and education activities related to natural resource and ecosystem management. In practice, CESU agreements are often used when an agency wants to collaborate closely with a specific academic or partner institution and expects substantial coordination during the project rather than a simple, hands-off grant.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed. FWS expects to make one award, with total estimated funding of $45,120. The award ceiling and floor are both $45,120, which signals there is no range of possible amounts; the planned award is a single, set figure. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed for the recipient.
Timing information shows the notice was posted and created on August 27, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of September 30, 2012. Because this is a notice to award rather than an open call, the closing date functions more as an administrative milestone than a true application deadline for outside parties.
The listing includes CFDA number 15.650, which corresponds to the broader federal assistance category under which this type of research support is tracked. Although an "Eligible Applicants" field appears in the record, the narrative makes clear the action is tied to a specific planned award to the University of Florida, so it is not effectively open to general applicants.
For questions or access issues, the contact provided is Lary Richardson, Wildlife Biologist, reachable by phone at (239) 353-8442 ext. 224 or by email at larryrichardson@fws.gov.
