Opportunity Summary:

The Wildlife Without Borders: Amphibians in Decline grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00155) is a competitive U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding program focused on conserving amphibian species that are experiencing severe, rapid population declines worldwide. The program is designed to support on-the-ground and conservation-oriented work that directly benefits imperiled amphibians, including frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians. The central priority is species facing a very high risk of extinction, especially those that meet the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria for Endangered or Critically Endangered status. It also allows support for species listed as Data Deficient when an applicant can provide credible information showing that the situation is urgent enough to justify immediate conservation action, and it includes species listed as Extinct in the Wild when the proposed project involves an attempt to reintroduce the species.

This opportunity was offered as a discretionary funding program and could be awarded either as a grant or a cooperative agreement. It falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.672 (Wildlife Without Borders - Amphibians in Decline). The agency anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total program funding amount of $100,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $10,000 to $25,000, with $25,000 identified as the award ceiling and $10,000 as the award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide a financial match to receive funding.

Eligibility was broad and essentially unrestricted, meaning the program was open to many applicant types as long as any additional eligibility conditions in the full announcement were met. Eligible applicants included individuals, multinational secretariats, state and local government agencies, nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, community and indigenous organizations, and public or private institutions of higher education. U.S.-based nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations were required to provide documentation showing their IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) status as part of the application.

The timeline for the opportunity indicates it was posted on April 15, 2014, with an original and final closing date of May 15, 2014. The announcement was later archived on July 15, 2014.
