Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Research Grants (Generic)" (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R4 13 002), is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action being issued as a notice to award rather than an open, competitive grant announcement. In other words, there is no full public solicitation package attached to this notice because FWS is stating its intent to make a specific award, rather than inviting proposals broadly. The intended recipient is the University of Florida, and the award will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means FWS expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, collaborating on scope, participating in technical direction, or coordinating field and reporting activities) rather than simply providing funding with minimal federal participation.
The award is being made under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are collaborative partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities and other partners to deliver applied research, technical assistance, and educational support related to ecosystem management and conservation. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the CFDA program number associated with the funding is 15.650. The notice indicates there is expected to be one award, aligning with the fact that this is a targeted, intended award rather than a broad competition.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $75,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $75,000, meaning the planned award amount is fixed at that level. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. Key dates show the posting date and creation date as November 28, 2012, with an original and current closing date of December 2, 2012, and an archive date of January 1, 2013, indicating this is an older, already-processed notice that has since been archived.
Although the listing includes a range of eligible applicant categories (including certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, state governments, and federally recognized tribal governments), the practical takeaway for this particular notice is that FWS has already identified the University of Florida as the recipient. Anyone with questions about the notice is directed to Andrew Gude at (352) 493-0238 ext. 224 or andrewgude@fws.gov. For assistance specifically related to accessing the announcement electronically, the contact provided is Janice McNeill, Contract Specialist, at (404) 679-4056 or janicemcneill@fws.gov.
