Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00100
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) Endangered Species Grant Program FY19 is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding action under the Department of the Interior that supports on-the-ground conservation work for imperiled species in the U.S. Great Lakes Basin. It fits within the broader GLRI effort launched in 2009 to accelerate progress toward long-term Great Lakes goals, including cleaner water, safer beaches and fish consumption, reliable drinking water, and healthier habitat for fish and wildlife. The program aligns with GLRI Action Plan II (covering 2015 to 2019), which lays out the federal agencies' planned restoration activities and priorities across the region.
This FY19 notice is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make three single-source awards (meaning the agency plans to fund specific recipients without competition) under the Department of the Interior's justification authorities at 505 DM 2.14.B.2 and/or 2.14.B.4. The notice explicitly states there is no application process for this opportunity. The total anticipated funding across the three awards is approximately $170,000, with an expected three awards and an award ceiling of $120,000. The funding instruments listed are grants and cooperative agreements, and the activity area is environmental conservation under CFDA 15.662.
The purpose of the GLRI-ES program is to provide grants and other assistance to individuals, organizations, and government entities conducting voluntary conservation efforts that benefit species listed as endangered or threatened (or proposed for listing) under the Endangered Species Act, as well as candidate species and other at-risk species, as long as the work occurs within the U.S. Great Lakes Basin. In practice, that means the program supports targeted conservation actions such as propagation and restoration for rare plants, monitoring and management for sensitive wildlife populations, and research and planning that informs species recovery actions.
The three planned FY19 awards focus on specific New York-based Great Lakes conservation needs and are directed to organizations with established roles and expertise in those exact efforts. Two awards go to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP). The first, for about $20,000, continues work on propagating American hart's tongue fern to support New York and Michigan populations, reflecting an emphasis on sustaining and expanding rare plant populations through cultivation and related conservation techniques. The second NYSOPRHP award, for about $30,000, supports monitoring and management of piping plovers along the Lake Ontario shoreline, an activity typically involving tracking breeding success, protecting nesting areas, and implementing site management measures that reduce disturbance and improve survival.
The third award is planned for the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) for approximately $120,000. Its purpose is to research potential relocation sites for the Chittenango ovate amber snail, a highly localized and conservation-sensitive species. Work like this generally involves evaluating habitat conditions, identifying suitable sites, and developing science-based recommendations that can support recovery planning or risk reduction, particularly where existing habitat may be limited or vulnerable.
The agency explains that competition is not practical because these recipients are considered uniquely qualified to carry out the projects. The notice highlights merit-based reasons for selecting them, including having the necessary qualifications (or the ability to obtain them), demonstrated experience with this type of work, adequate resources to complete the activities, a clear understanding of the project goals and how to implement them in a way that meets agency service objectives, and a history of completing projects and submitting required reports on time. Administrative details included in the notice identify the opportunity number as F19AS00100, the posting date as February 12, 2019, and the original closing date as February 20, 2019, with the key caveat that the "closing" is informational because proposals are not being solicited from the public.Apply for F19AS00100
