Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "The Wetlands Conservancy" (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00223), was a discretionary grant posted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The core purpose of the award was to support a specific on-the-ground resource management project: a vegetation classification and inventory focused on the wet meadow habitats at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (Malheur NWR). In practical terms, the work implied documenting and organizing information about plant communities in wet meadows, likely producing standardized vegetation classifications and an inventory dataset that could be used for habitat management, monitoring, restoration planning, and future conservation decisions at the refuge.
The opportunity was structured as a single grant award, with an expected award count of one and total funding estimated at $40,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $40,000, which effectively indicates a fixed award amount rather than a range. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The assistance listing was associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which is commonly used for projects that support conservation planning and field-based habitat and species work on lands and waters managed or influenced by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Eligibility for this funding was narrowly defined. The listed eligible applicants category was "Others," but the eligibility text explicitly named The Wetlands Conservancy and referenced a "Sole Source Justification." That combination strongly suggests this was not a broadly competitive solicitation, but instead a targeted, non-competitive (sole source) award intended for a specific organization based on justification provided by the agency. In other words, the opportunity functioned more as a formal public posting of an intended award to The Wetlands Conservancy rather than an open call for multiple applicants.
Key dates show this announcement moved on a short timeline. It was posted and created on July 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2013. The archive date was August 15, 2013, indicating when it was expected to be removed from active listings after the closing period. Anyone needing access to the full announcement through Grants.gov was directed to contact Tami Perry at the Fish and Wildlife Service, with a provided phone number (541-493-2612) and email address (tamiperry@fws.gov). The public listing also included an additional information link pointing to Grants.gov for the complete announcement details.
