Opportunity Summary:
The San Marcos National Fish Hatchery and Technology Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00258) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on science, technology, and other research and development activities. The core purpose was narrowly defined: to support work that helps ensure Comal Springs riffle beetles maintained in refugia (protective captive or isolated conservation holdings) accurately represent the genetic diversity found in the wild. In practical terms, this kind of project typically involves genetic sampling, analysis, and management recommendations so that conservation-held populations do not become genetically bottlenecked, inbred, or otherwise unrepresentative of the natural populations they are meant to safeguard.
The award was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expected to be substantially involved during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program anticipated making one award, with total estimated funding of $12,500. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between an $8,000 floor and a $12,500 ceiling, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the project was intended for universities and similar public academic entities with the capacity to conduct applied conservation genetics or related biological research. The opportunity was tied to CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, which aligns with technical and scientific support for managing fish and wildlife resources, including threatened and endangered species conservation actions.
The timeline for this opportunity was short. It was posted on July 9, 2012 (created July 10, 2012) with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2012, indicating a very brief application window. The opportunity was later archived on June 26, 2013. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the announcement.
For assistance or questions, the notice listed two contacts at the Fish and Wildlife Service: Marta Estrada, Administrative Officer (512-353-0011, martaestrada@fws.gov) and Ken Ostrand, Assistant Project Leader (512-353-0011, kennethostrand@fws.gov).
