Opportunity Summary:
The Santa Cruz Long-Toed Salamander and California Tiger Salamander Upland Research Study (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00423) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support research and development work focused on upland habitat use by two sensitive amphibian species: the Santa Cruz long-toed salamander and the California tiger salamander. The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expected to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating study design, providing guidance on methods or reporting, and collaborating on deliverables) rather than issuing a hands-off grant.
The opportunity sat under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and was associated with CFDA 15.650, listed as "Research Grants (Generic)." The announcement indicated no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The total estimated funding available was $45,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor were listed as $0, which generally signals that a specific per-award range was not stated in the summary record and that the actual award amount would be defined in the full notice or determined through the competitive process and agency negotiations.
Eligibility for this particular competition was limited to small businesses, meaning the program was aiming to engage private-sector entities that meet federal small business definitions to carry out the research work. While the summary text does not spell out tasks or products, the title and description strongly imply field-oriented study of upland ecology, such as identifying where these salamanders spend time away from breeding ponds, how far they move, what habitat features they select (vegetation cover, soil moisture, refugia such as burrows or woody debris), seasonal movement patterns, and threats in upland areas. Research like this is commonly used to inform recovery planning, habitat management, and land-use decisions that affect listed or at-risk species.
The posting timeline was very short. The opportunity was posted and created on September 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2014, and it was archived on September 12, 2014. That window suggests it may have been a targeted or time-sensitive solicitation, or one that anticipated applicants already tracking the program and ready to submit quickly. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements, application instructions, and evaluation criteria.
For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact was Shad Mitchum at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 805-644-1766 ext. X01 and by email at ShadMitchum@fws.gov. The additional information link referenced Grants.gov (www.grants.gov), where the full solicitation package and any attachments would have been available while the opportunity was active.
