Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) grant listing for a project titled "Wildlife Research" under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 15 FA 0464. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordinating on technical direction, data collection approaches, reporting expectations, or other collaborative elements during the project period. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity type and the funding activity, with the agency providing clarification only through an attached "Notice of Intent" document rather than spelling out full details in the public listing.
The funding amount is fixed and relatively small, with an estimated total funding of $18,994. Both the award ceiling and award floor are also listed as $18,994, indicating the agency anticipated making exactly one award for that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as a condition of receiving the award (unless the attached notice states otherwise).
The program is associated with CFDA number 15.808, "U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection," which is a general federal assistance listing used for USGS research and related scientific data collection activities. While the listing itself does not describe the research topic, geographic focus, target species, or project deliverables, the title and CFDA alignment indicate it supports wildlife-related research activities consistent with USGS science and data collection missions. Key details such as scope of work, eligibility restrictions, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and reporting requirements are explicitly deferred to the attached Notice of Intent.
Timing information shows the opportunity was posted and created on August 11, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2015. The archive date is September 24, 2015, meaning it is no longer active and is retained primarily for recordkeeping. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the actual eligibility rules are not provided in the text of the listing and instead are said to be contained in the attached notice, so the public record alone does not confirm whether it was intended for a specific institution, partner, or a limited pool of applicants.
For help accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Theodore Peck, listed as a Contract Specialist/Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 916-278-9441. The listing notes that if there are difficulties accessing the announcement electronically, applicants should use that contact, which suggests the full details may have been distributed primarily through the attached Notice of Intent rather than a complete narrative within the online summary.
