Opportunity Summary:
The State Botancial Garden Coooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00409) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). The purpose of the agreement is to secure specialized, expert support for work focused on imperiled plant conservation in Georgia. Specifically, the Service intends to partner with The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to help assess the status of at-risk plant species and to carry out practical conservation actions that contribute to measurable environmental improvements and/or recovery progress for rare, threatened, and endangered plants found within the State of Georgia. The activity areas connected to the award align with education, natural resources, and science and technology/research and development.
This posting is not a typical competitive grant opportunity and is not a request for applications. It is a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient and does not plan to open a broader competition. The notice explicitly states there is no full announcement associated with it, and the decision not to compete the award is described as consistent with internal Departmental policy (referenced as 505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and within agency discretion. Although the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted" in the general data, the accompanying eligibility information clarifies that applications are not being solicited.
Financially, the estimated total funding is listed as $30,094, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in records like this when the agency is posting an intent notice rather than running a standard competitive program with defined minimum/maximum award ranges. The opportunity was posted and created on August 21, 2014, and the archive date is August 21, 2015. Because it is a single-source intent notice, the "closing date" fields are essentially placeholders repeating that there is no full announcement and no application period.
