Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00292) is a Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant issued as a cooperative agreement under the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) master agreement (F11AC00569). It is framed as a Notice of Intent to make an award, meaning the agency was signaling an expected award action rather than running a broadly competed, open-ended solicitation. The project focus is environmental research, specifically population monitoring and genetic analyses of endangered butterflies in Nevada, with the work to be carried out in collaboration with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The purpose of the project is to support conservation-relevant science on endangered butterfly species by combining field-based population monitoring with laboratory-based genetic analysis. Population monitoring typically involves surveying known habitat areas to estimate abundance, track trends over time, and document distribution and occupancy. Genetic analyses generally aim to evaluate genetic diversity, population structure, connectivity between sites, and potential inbreeding or isolation, all of which are key factors for understanding extinction risk and for designing recovery actions. Taken together, these two components are meant to produce practical information that wildlife managers can use to guide protection efforts, habitat management, and longer-term recovery planning for imperiled butterfly populations in Nevada.
The opportunity anticipated making up to two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $70,500. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between an award floor of $22,000 and an award ceiling of $48,500. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. The assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 15.650, identified as Research Grants (Generic), which is commonly used for research-oriented awards supporting science and technical work aligned with Fish and Wildlife Service conservation priorities.
Eligibility was limited to institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. This fits the CESU structure, which is designed to facilitate partnerships between federal agencies and academic institutions for research, technical assistance, and education. The posting dates indicate the announcement was created and posted on July 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 25, 2014, and an archive date of July 26, 2014, reflecting a short application window consistent with a notice of intent or targeted cooperative agreement approach.
Administrative and applicant support details were provided through a government grants posting site link, and the point of contact for access issues or questions was Susan Lackey at the Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 775-861-6326; email SueLackey@fws.gov).
