Opportunity Summary:
The Wolf Monitoring in the State of Idaho grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 ES08RO0008) is a Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement focused on environmental and natural resource work tied to wolf conservation. The core purpose is to fund wolf monitoring and related recovery activities in Idaho as part of the broader wolf reintroduction and recovery program. The announcement makes clear that the work is not a general open competition; it is structured to support an established government-to-government and interagency framework for managing wolf recovery responsibilities.
Funding under this opportunity is set aside specifically for the Nez Perce Tribe in Lapwai, Idaho, and eligibility is explicitly restricted to that recipient. The description ties the award to a Memorandum of Agreement between the State of Idaho and the Tribe, indicating that the planned activities, roles, and expectations are already defined through that agreement. In practice, this means the grant is intended to resource the Tribe to carry out agreed-upon services that contribute to the overall program goals for wolf reintroduction and recovery in the state, rather than to solicit new project concepts from multiple applicants.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,400,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds from the recipient. The funding instrument is listed as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during implementation compared with a standard grant. That aligns with the nature of wildlife recovery programs, where monitoring methods, reporting, coordination with state and federal partners, and adherence to recovery objectives often require ongoing technical coordination.
Key timeline details in the posting show that the opportunity was posted on December 18, 2007, with an original closing date of December 31, 2007. The record also reflects later system dates, including a creation date of July 30, 2009, a current closing date of July 30, 2009, and an archive date of July 31, 2009, suggesting the listing was maintained or re-entered in an electronic system after the initial posting period. Regardless of those administrative dates, the substance of the announcement remains that it is a reserved, single-recipient award supporting the Nez Perce Tribe’s work under the established Idaho-Tribe agreement.
For applicants or members of the public seeking more details, the announcement references an “Additional Information” link for further information on the recovery program. It also provides a point of contact for access issues: Vicki Tilden, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 303-236-4519.
