Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00263
The grant opportunity titled "Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds" (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00263) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of the Interior) funding action focused on endangered species recovery work, specifically research and monitoring activities supporting conservation implementation. It falls under the discretionary funding category and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing a hands-off grant.
This notice is not a typical open solicitation. It is explicitly a "Notice of Intent to Award to a Single Source," which means the Service is signaling its plan to make a sole-source award rather than running a competitive process with multiple applicants. As a result, there is no full announcement package associated with the notice, and despite the eligibility field showing "unrestricted," the practical reality is that the award is intended for one specified organization.
The intended recipient is Conservation InSight, and the purpose of the cooperative agreement is to continue and expand on applied conservation research for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow (CSSS). The project emphasizes demographic monitoring to establish or refine baseline demographic rates for CSSS subpopulations, which typically includes measures such as survival, reproduction, nesting success, and population trends. These baseline rates are foundational for recovery planning because they help identify which life stages or threats most strongly affect population stability and where management actions could have the greatest impact.
In addition to ongoing demographic monitoring, the project includes a nest camera study designed to better identify nest predators affecting the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow. Nest cameras are commonly used in wildlife research to pinpoint predator species and predation timing, information that can directly inform management decisions (for example, targeted predator management, habitat modifications, or timing of conservation actions). The work also involves collecting tissue samples for genetic analysis, which can support understanding of genetic diversity, connectivity among subpopulations, and potential inbreeding or isolation concerns that may affect long-term recovery.
The opportunity is categorized under "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" and is associated with CFDA number 15.657. The funding parameters listed include an award ceiling of $150,000 and an expectation of a single award. The notice was created on July 24, 2018, with an original closing date of July 31, 2018, reflecting the short window typical of administrative notices that document an intended sole-source action rather than inviting a broad pool of proposals.Apply for F18AS00263
