Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00400
The grant opportunity listed under CFDA 15.678 is tied to the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) program and is administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, specifically the Fish and Wildlife Service. It is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity, and the funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which usually means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project work (for example, participating in planning, coordinating research activities, or collaborating on deliverables) rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This particular posting, identified by Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00400 and created on September 19, 2019, is not an open competition. The notice explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and instead serves as a notice of intent to make a single-source award. In practice, that typically means the agency has already selected a specific recipient organization and is publishing the announcement to document the planned award, support transparency, and meet internal or public notice requirements. Because it is not competitive, the standard application process and deadlines that are common in open solicitations do not apply here, and the listing shows an "OriginalClosingDate" message reflecting that reality.
The eligible applicant category named in the source data is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education." That aligns with how CESU projects often function, since CESUs are structured as collaborative partnerships among federal agencies, universities, and other partners to support research, technical assistance, and education that inform natural resource management. Even though the eligibility field is broad, the single-source nature of this notice generally means that only the pre-identified institution (or CESU partner) would be in a position to receive the award associated with this announcement.
The activity area is labeled "Environment," which fits CESU work that often covers topics like ecosystem management, habitat conservation, wildlife and fisheries science, invasive species, climate impacts, restoration, monitoring, and applied research that supports on-the-ground management decisions. While the short description provided does not list a specific project scope, CESU awards commonly fund discrete studies or technical support efforts carried out in collaboration with agency staff and aligned with Fish and Wildlife Service priorities.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $73,141. The "ExpectedAwards" field shows 0, which is consistent with postings that are informational notices of intent rather than an active solicitation expecting multiple competitive awards. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a CESU-related cooperative agreement announcement from the Fish and Wildlife Service intended to document a planned single-source award up to $73,141, rather than a call for new applications from the broader community.Apply for F19AS00400
