Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) posted this item as a notice to award rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. In plain terms, there is no full funding announcement to apply to because FWS is indicating its intent to enter into a single cooperative agreement with Auburn University under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are structured partnerships between federal agencies and a network of universities and other partners that are used to deliver research, technical assistance, and education related to natural resource management. This specific notice functions mainly as a public record of the planned award and the basic administrative details tied to it.
The opportunity is labeled "Research Grants (Generic)" and is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement, which typically means FWS expects to remain substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, through collaboration on project scope, methods, deliverables, or coordination). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the assistance is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.650, which corresponds to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service research-related assistance.
Only one award is expected, and the budget figures confirm that this is essentially a single, set award: the estimated total funding is $70,000, with an award floor and ceiling both listed at $70,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The posting date and creation date are September 3, 2012, with a closing date of September 7, 2012, and an archive date of October 7, 2012. Those dates are largely procedural here since the notice is not inviting applications; they reflect the period the notice was publicly visible and tracked in the grants system.
Eligibility fields in the record list a range of potential applicant types (state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and certain nonprofits), but the narrative makes clear the intended recipient is Auburn University, and the mechanism is through the CESU partnership framework. As a result, this should be viewed as a directed award notice rather than an opportunity where other organizations could realistically compete.
For questions about the notice itself, FWS provided a program contact: Henry Sansing, reachable at (662) 418-1372 or by email at henrysansing@fws.gov. For help accessing the announcement electronically (even though there is no full announcement associated with the notice), the contracting specialist contact is Janice McNeill at (404) 679-4056 or janicemcneill@fws.gov.
