Opportunity Summary:
The Kentucky Chapter of The Wildlife Society Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00407) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action under the Natural Resources activity category, issued through the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program (CFDA 15.631). The notice explains that the Service plans to make a single cooperative agreement award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The overall purpose of the agreement is to support on-the-ground conservation work in Kentucky by facilitating the restoration, enhancement, and long-term conservation of prairie barren glade and other grassland ecosystems, as well as associated wetlands and streams, with an emphasis on benefiting federal trust species.
This posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to a Single Source, not a competitive grant opportunity. In practical terms, that means there is no full announcement package to respond to and the agency is not soliciting applications from the public. Even though the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted," the notice clarifies that this is not a request for applications and that the decision not to compete the award is based on departmental policy (cited as 505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion. The anticipated recipient is specifically identified as The Kentucky Chapter of The Wildlife Society, indicating that the Service has selected this organization for the cooperative agreement based on internal justification rather than an open competition.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 6, 2015, and an archive date of August 7, 2015. The listing shows one expected award, and it does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as zero), which is common in brief notices of intent where the key point is simply the agency's plan to issue a single award rather than to define a competitive range. The grants.gov link is provided as a reference point for the notice, and the contact person listed for access or questions is Teresa Crain, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 404-679-4124 or by email at teresacrain@fws.gov.
