The Orianne Society | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant notice (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00444), titled "The Orianne Society," is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) notice of intent to make a single-source award through a cooperative agreement. It is not a competitive funding opportunity and does not include a full public announcement or solicitation for applications. In practical terms, USFWS is signaling that it plans to fund one specific organization, The Orianne Society, rather than opening the project up for proposals from multiple applicants.

The purpose of the award is tied to research and conservation work on the Eastern Indigo Snake, a species that has been the focus of The Orianne Society's long-term efforts. USFWS justifies the decision to use a single-source approach by pointing to the organization’s deep, specialized expertise: The Orianne Society has studied the Eastern Indigo Snake since 1992 and has conducted extensive work in Georgia and Florida that is directly relevant to assessing the species’ status and supporting its conservation. The notice highlights a broad range of research areas where the organization has established experience, including spatial ecology, survey methods, reintroduction methods, genetics, prey habits, and distribution, among other topics. The underlying rationale is that this long track record and accumulated data make The Orianne Society uniquely positioned to carry out the intended work effectively without the delays or duplication that could come from recompeting the effort.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding instrument listed as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The activity areas connected to the award include education, environment, and science and technology/research and development, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). The estimated total funding amount is listed as $100,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing notes an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is intended for a single recipient rather than multiple projects.

The timeline in the posting reflects the administrative window for the notice rather than an application period. It was posted and created on August 19, 2015, had an original and current closing date of August 26, 2015, and was archived on August 28, 2015. Although the eligibility field is labeled "Unrestricted," the eligibility text 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 award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which often appears in records where standard competitive award range fields are not being used because the notice is not soliciting applications.

For anyone seeking additional details, the notice points to Grants.gov as the source link, and provides a service contact for access issues: Kerri Heywood, Grant Management Specialist, at 404-679-4066 or kerriheywood@fws.gov. The key takeaway is that this posting is informational and procedural: it documents USFWS’s intent to directly fund The Orianne Society for specialized Eastern Indigo Snake research and conservation work, rather than inviting the public to apply.
