Opportunity Summary:
The University of Hawaii at Hilo UHHIP PIPES Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00193) is a discretionary, education-focused cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). It is described as an unsolicited proposal, meaning it is designed to support a specific project and recipient rather than operate as an open, competitive program for a wide range of applicants. The agency intends to provide funding directly to the University of Hawaii at Hilo, which is an eligible applicant as a public, state-controlled institution of higher education.
The core purpose of the award is to fund the hiring of five interns who will participate in the Hawaiian Internship Program (UHHIP) in connection with the Pacific Internships Program for Exploring Science (PIPES). These internships are structured around a three-month project that addresses invasive species issues in Hawaii. A key feature of the cooperative agreement structure is substantial involvement by the federal partner: the USFWS Invasive Species Strike Team will actively work with the interns and the program mentors to help shape and develop the project, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. In practical terms, this signals hands-on collaboration, shared planning, and likely technical guidance from USFWS personnel during the internship period.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is very specific and capped to a single award. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $41,114. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $41,114, indicating the funding amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory financial match as a condition of receiving the funds. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.664 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs), which generally covers work that supports fish and wildlife conservation priorities through coordination, technical assistance, and related capacity-building activities.
Timing information shows the announcement was posted and created on June 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2012. This short window is consistent with a targeted, unsolicited proposal-type award where the recipient and project concept are already defined and the remaining steps are primarily administrative processing and finalization.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Cynthia Stoakes, Administrative Technician, at phone number 503-231-6167, with an email contact referenced for the Fish and Wildlife Service (though the specific email address is not included in the provided text).
