Opportunity Summary:
The State Botancial Garden Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00410) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action in the Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development category. It was posted on August 21, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 27, 2014, and it was archived on August 21, 2015. The agency anticipated making one award under this action, using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, with an estimated total federal funding amount of $30,094. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified. The CFDA listed is 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). Award floor and ceiling values are shown as $0, which typically indicates that a specific negotiated award amount applies rather than a competitively defined range.
This notice is not a traditional grant solicitation and was not open for competitive applications. It is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, with no full announcement attached. In practical terms, that means the Fish and Wildlife Service had already identified the recipient and intended to proceed without a competition, citing departmental policy (505 DM 2.14(B)(2)) as the basis for determining that competition was not required and that the decision was within the agency's discretion. Even though the eligibility field is labeled as "unrestricted," the text clarifies that this is not a request for applications and therefore other applicants were not being invited to apply.
The intended recipient named in the notice is The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to obtain expert assistance to assess the status of imperiled plant species in Georgia and to carry out actions expected to produce positive environmental and/or recovery outcomes for rare, threatened, and endangered plants in the state. In other words, the project focus is on conservation science and applied recovery work for at-risk plant species, likely involving field assessments, data gathering or synthesis, and implementation of targeted conservation actions that support species recovery goals.
