Opportunity Summary:
The Spartina Eradication and Control grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00017) was a discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, under CFDA 15.652 and categorized within Natural Resources. The award was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with substantial involvement from the Fish and Wildlife Service rather than as a hands-off grant. The purpose of the funding was narrowly focused: to support on-the-ground management, control, and continued eradication efforts targeting Spartina densiflora at the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex (HBNWRC). Spartina densiflora is an invasive cordgrass that can alter tidal marsh habitats, outcompete native vegetation, and degrade areas important for wildlife and refuge conservation goals, which is why the program is described as crucial to the mission of both the Service and HBNWRC.
Funding for the opportunity had a maximum federal award amount (ceiling) of $120,000, with an anticipated total of one award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply as long as it met any additional eligibility clarifications referenced in the announcement text. The opportunity was created on October 22, 2018, with an original closing date of October 29, 2018, indicating a short application window. The notice also indicates that a recipient had already been selected, suggesting the funding decision was finalized and the announcement functioned primarily as a formal posting for an identified project partner.
