Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Support for development of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Delta Native Fishes Recovery Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00332) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service posting that functions strictly as a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI). It is not an open competition and was posted to Grants.gov only because federal rules require agencies to publicly list funding opportunities, even when the agency already intends to make a single-source award. The announcement repeatedly emphasizes "PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY," making it clear that unsolicited applications are not being accepted and that the recipient is effectively pre-identified.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the period of performance rather than a hands-off grant. The activity falls under the environment category and is associated with CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). The San Francisco Bay Delta Fish and Wildlife Office (BDFWO) is seeking cooperative funding support specifically for work connected to the Delta Native Fishes Recovery Team. The overarching goal is to help develop the best available scientific foundation and conservation strategy that will be incorporated into the Delta Native Fishes Recovery Plan, focused on native fish species and their habitat conditions in the upper San Francisco Estuary.
The Recovery Team described in the notice is organized into two complementary groups. First is the technical sub-team, made up of biologists and other technical experts. Second is an implementation sub-team, which includes stakeholders and agency staff. The funding covered by this cooperative agreement is intended to support participation by members of the technical sub-team who bring unique expertise and experience related to the ecological and physical processes shaping the upper San Francisco Estuary. In practical terms, that suggests the funded work centers on assembling, evaluating, and synthesizing scientific information and professional judgment needed to produce a credible, science-based conservation strategy and recovery planning content.
Financially, the announcement indicates a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $12,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $12,000, which implies a fixed award amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching is required. The posting date and creation date are July 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2012, and an archive date of August 3, 2012, reflecting that the notice is long closed and was primarily administrative in nature rather than a true application window for competing applicants.
Eligibility categories shown in the listing include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and individuals, but in context those eligibility fields do not represent an open invitation to apply because the notice is explicitly single-source and not accepting applications. Anyone needing access to the full announcement is directed to contact John Ridilla at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (916-930-5624; JohnRidilla@fws.gov). The listing also references Grants.gov for additional information.
