Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Support for development of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Delta Native Fishes Recovery Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00333), is a discretionary, environment-focused cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), specifically through its San Francisco Bay Delta Office. The posting is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI), which means it is not an open competition. It was placed on Grants.gov to satisfy federal transparency requirements that funding opportunities be publicly posted, but the agency states plainly: do not apply. It is identified as a single-source action, indicating the recipient is predetermined rather than selected through a broad, competitive process.
The purpose of the funding is to provide cooperative support for the Delta Native Fishes Recovery Team, a group organized to develop the best available scientific foundation for a conservation strategy that will be incorporated into the Delta Native Fishes Recovery Plan. The Recovery Team is structured into two parts. The technical sub-team includes biologists and other technical experts who contribute specialized scientific knowledge. The implementation sub-team includes stakeholders and agency staff who are positioned to help translate the science into practical planning and on-the-ground considerations. The cooperative agreement is specifically intended to support participation by members of the technical sub-team who have unique expertise and experience related to the ecological and physical processes of the upper San Francisco Estuary, an area where complex interactions among flow, habitat, water quality, and species needs strongly influence native fish recovery outcomes.
Financially, the announcement describes a single expected award, with total estimated funding of $10,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $10,000, suggesting the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic), which aligns with the emphasis on assembling and synthesizing scientific information to inform a recovery planning product rather than, for example, construction or large-scale implementation.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on July 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2012, and an archive date of August 3, 2012. Although standard eligibility categories are listed (including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and individuals), the single-source NOI language makes clear that eligibility is largely academic for this posting because it is not meant to solicit proposals from the public.
For anyone needing the official announcement text or having access issues, the listed point of contact is John Ridilla at the USFWS, reachable by phone at 916-930-5624 or by email at JohnRidilla@fws.gov. The Grants.gov listing is also referenced through an additional information link directing users to the Grants.gov site.
