Opportunity Summary:
The Sagebrush Identification Pocket Guide grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00367) is a discretionary grant posted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Natural Resources activity category. It was issued specifically as a Notice of Intent to Award to PRBO Conservation Science under the agency's noncompetitive award authority referenced at 505 DM 2.14 B(4). Because it is a pre-selected, noncompetitive action, the announcement explicitly states that no competition is expected and applicants should not apply.
The purpose of the grant is narrowly defined: to provide funding support for the production and distribution of a Sagebrush Identification Pocket Guide. In practical terms, the project is focused on creating a field-friendly reference intended to help users identify sagebrush species or related taxa accurately, which can support habitat work and conservation planning where sagebrush ecosystems are important. The announcement directs readers to PRBO Conservation Science (www.prbo.org) for additional background about the organization connected to the work.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed. The agency anticipated one award with total estimated funding of $5,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are set at $5,000, indicating a single small, set-amount award rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation, suggesting the pocket guide is aligned with broader wildlife and bird habitat conservation goals in sagebrush landscapes.
Eligibility, as listed in the source data, is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, despite that general eligibility language, the key point is that the award was intended for a specific recipient (PRBO Conservation Science), and the notice is not meant to solicit applications from other entities.
Key dates reflect a short administrative posting window rather than an open competition. The opportunity was posted and created on August 6, 2012, had an original and current closing date of August 17, 2012, and was archived on August 20, 2012. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Bonnie Bates at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (503-231-6164, BonnieBates@fws.gov).
