Opportunity Summary:
The Sponsorship for Conservation Biology grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00410) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, with a focus area listed as Adaptive Science (CFDA 15.670). The opportunity was framed as a sponsorship supporting work in conservation biology, indicating an intent to advance scientific understanding and applied research that can inform conservation decisions, management actions, or related biological resource priorities.
In terms of funding scale, the program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award ceiling was $25,000 and the award floor was $0, meaning proposals could request up to the full amount available, but there was no stated minimum request threshold. The listing specified that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to a specific applicant type: nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This is a narrower eligibility category than many federal research opportunities and suggests the program was aimed at certain nonprofit organizations that fit that designation rather than universities or typical 501(c)(3) charities.
The timeline for this opportunity was extremely short. It was posted and created on September 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2012, and it was archived shortly thereafter on September 11, 2012. The one-day window between posting and closing implies it may have been intended for a very specific sponsorship, a pre-identified recipient, or a time-sensitive need, which sometimes happens in discretionary federal grant postings.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Sonja Scott, Administrative Officer at FWS, reachable at 703-358-1720 and SonjaScott@fws.gov. Additional details and the full announcement were referenced as being available through Grants.gov, with an additional information link provided in the notice.
