Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Research Grants (Generic)" (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R4 12 008), is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action issued as a notice to award rather than a competitive grant announcement. In practical terms, that means there is no full solicitation package to apply to and no open competition described in the notice. The agency states it intends to make a single cooperative agreement award to Auburn University under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program, which is a network of partnerships designed to support applied research, technical assistance, and education related to natural resource management.
The award is associated with CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants (Generic)) and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating FWS likely expects substantial involvement or collaboration in the work compared with a standard grant. The funding activity area is natural resources, and the notice lists one expected award with total estimated funding of $40,760. The award ceiling and floor are both $40,760, which signals a fixed planned project amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching is required.
Key dates show how narrow and administrative this notice is: it was posted and created on September 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2012, and it was archived on October 6, 2012. While the eligibility section lists several categories of potential applicants (including state, county, and local governments and certain nonprofits), the body of the notice makes clear the intended recipient is Auburn University, consistent with CESU mechanisms that often support partner institutions for specific, pre-identified needs.
For questions, the notice directs inquiries to Janice McNeill, Contract Specialist, at (404) 679-4056 or Janicemcneill@fws.gov. A secondary contact is provided for access issues: Anne Morkill at (305) 872-2239 or annemorkill@fws.gov.
