Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Technical Assistance Programs for Green Infrastructure Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00380) is a discretionary federal grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It focuses on strengthening the connection between national transportation goals and conservation priorities by improving how green infrastructure plans are designed and carried out in real-world transportation settings. In practical terms, the project is meant to help transportation agencies and conservation partners work together more effectively when planning, prioritizing, and implementing infrastructure decisions that protect habitat, support connectivity, and reduce environmental impacts while still meeting transportation needs.
The core purpose of the project is to pilot and deliver training and technical assistance for employees of state departments of transportation, along with their non-federal partners. The emphasis is on building both technological skills and collaborative capacity. That includes improving the ability of transportation and conservation professionals to use advanced tools, approaches, and shared planning methods to address complex, higher-level challenges that come up during implementation of green infrastructure plans. The opportunity is framed as a capacity-building effort: rather than funding construction, it supports the people, coordination, and technical know-how that make implementation more consistent, defensible, and aligned with national objectives.
From a funding standpoint, the total estimated amount available is $147,600, and the award ceiling is also $147,600, indicating a single award at that level (with an award floor listed as $1). The listing anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
A key detail is that this was not an open, competitive grant solicitation. The announcement is a notice of intent to make a single-source award to The Conservation Fund, justified under 505 DM 2.14(B1). The eligibility field reflects this by stating there is not an application process for the project. Although "Eligible Applicants" is broadly labeled as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility text, the practical effect is that the award was intended for a specific organization without accepting applications from the general public or other entities.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 15, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2012, and it was archived on August 21, 2012. It is categorized under Environment, Natural Resources, and Transportation, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance). The public listing also provides a grants.gov link for reference and includes a contact for access issues: Tracy Mccleaf (304-876-7781, TracyMcCleaf@fws.gov).
