Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00360
The Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Units opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00360) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service notice describing the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award rather than running an open, competitive grant announcement. In practical terms, this is not a standard solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. Instead, it is a public notice that the Service plans to award directly to one identified recipient, Mississippi State University, and that there is no full funding announcement package attached beyond this intent notice.
The planned award uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the work (as opposed to a more hands-off grant). The activity category is listed under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with the program is 15.678. The posting lists eligibility as "unrestricted," but the text makes clear that the action is a single-source intent to award, meaning the practical eligibility is effectively limited to the named institution for this specific action.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support work that strengthens how the Fish and Wildlife Service assesses and manages conditions on refuges by improving the consistency and quality of field and data practices. Mississippi State University is expected to assist in developing protocols and standard operating procedures for evaluating both biotic communities (living resources such as plants, wildlife, and other organisms) and abiotic communities or conditions (non-living factors such as water, soils, habitat structure, and other physical or chemical attributes). The work scope also includes conducting inventory surveys, supporting habitat manipulation projects (management actions intended to improve or maintain habitat conditions), implementing monitoring protocols, and building or managing databases that can turn field observations into timely, usable reports. The intended outcome is better, more defensible information to guide assessments of natural resource habitats and population management decisions across refuge lands.
From an administrative standpoint, the notice was created on September 18, 2018, with an original closing date of September 25, 2018, and it anticipates one award. The maximum funding amount listed (award ceiling) is $85,000. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, single-recipient cooperative research and technical support action meant to standardize and improve refuge assessment methods, implement monitoring and inventories, and ensure data systems and reporting are sufficient to inform ongoing habitat and wildlife management.Apply for F18AS00360
