Opportunity Summary:
The Stop Aquatic Hitchhiker Cooperative Leadership Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00091) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on public education and outreach. The core purpose is to educate and inform the public about the risks posed by aquatic and terrestrial invasive species, with a broader emphasis on national conservation issues. In practical terms, the project supported under this opportunity is meant to increase awareness, encourage behavior that prevents the spread of invasive species, and strengthen public understanding of conservation challenges that affect fish, wildlife, and their habitats.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the agency expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funding. That involvement can include collaboration on planning, messaging, outreach strategies, or coordinating activities so they align with federal conservation priorities. The funding activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, and the CFDA number listed is 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance), which signals the broader programmatic authority under which this work is supported.
This opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling is also $50,000, meaning the maximum potential federal amount for the project is capped at that level. The award floor is listed as $0, which is a common technical listing and does not necessarily indicate a realistic minimum award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed for nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). However, an important feature of this announcement is that it is a sole-source grant to an already selected recipient. In other words, although it appears on Grants.gov as a formal opportunity, it is not a competitive open call where multiple applicants will be evaluated for selection. The public posting primarily serves transparency and documentation purposes rather than inviting broad competition.
Key dates in the record show a posted date of February 19, 2013, with creation on February 20, 2013. The original closing date and the current closing date are both March 31, 2013, indicating no extension or modification to the deadline in the provided data.
For more details, the announcement points to Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) for the full posting and related documents. The contact person listed is Kathleen Murray at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at KathleenEMurray@fws.gov, and she is also the point of contact for applicants who have difficulty accessing the announcement electronically.
