Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "WWB LAC Single Source Award Universidad Nacional de Cordoba" is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Wildlife Without Borders (WWB) Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) program. It is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, meaning the agency expects substantial involvement and close coordination during implementation. The award is explicitly described as a single-source action authorized under Department of the Interior Policy 505 DM 2.14 B(1), which allows the government to continue supporting an ongoing activity that it has funded previously. In practical terms, this is not an open competition; it is a continuation of an established partnership.
The core purpose of the award is education and capacity building for conservation in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a focus on training the next generation of conservation leaders. The funding supports the Graduate Program in Wildlife Management at the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba, a program that WWB LAC has been investing in since 1992. The announcement highlights that prior support has included student scholarships, visiting professors, and hands-on field experiences designed to strengthen and enrich coursework. A key emphasis is on promoting a highly interdisciplinary, ecosystem-based approach, aligning the training with real-world conservation challenges that require integrating biological science, management, and broader environmental considerations.
The agreement period is planned for 32 months, during which WWB LAC staff will work closely with the graduate program director and faculty. This cooperative arrangement signals that the agency is not only providing funding but also collaborating on program direction and execution to ensure the training approach meets WWB LAC goals. The opportunity also points to a track record of measurable regional impact, noting that the long-standing partnership has produced about 76 alumni who are now working in the region, suggesting the program serves as a pipeline for conservation professionals across Latin America and the Caribbean.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $100,820, and both the award ceiling and floor are the same ($100,820), indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the agreement terms) to meet the project budget requirements. The posting date is August 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2013, and an archive date of September 10, 2013, reflecting the short window typical of single-source continuation actions.
Eligibility is narrowly limited: the only eligible recipient is Universidad Nacional de Cordoba. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 15.640 (Wildlife Without Borders - Latin America and the Caribbean) and falls within the activity categories of education, environment, and natural resources. For administrative or access issues related to the announcement, the listed contact is Cory Brown, International Affairs Specialist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 703-358-2221, email corybrown@fws.gov).
