Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00333
The grant opportunity titled "Recovery of the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow" (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00333) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award rather than a competitive funding announcement. In practical terms, that means there is no full solicitation package for applicants to respond to, and the Service is signaling that it plans to fund one specific partner for this work. The administering agency is the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, and the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordinating, guiding, or participating in the project activities as they are carried out.
The stated purpose of the award is to support recovery actions for the Florida grasshopper sparrow (FGSP), scientifically identified as Ammodramus savannarum floridanus. The funding is meant to be used for on-the-ground and/or research-driven activities that contribute directly to the recovery of this imperiled subspecies. While the notice does not list specific tasks or work plans, the framing makes clear that the intent is conservation and recovery implementation rather than general interest research, with activities falling under the broad federal funding activity category of environment, science and technology, and other research and development.
The Service identified The Wildlife Foundation of Florida as the intended recipient. Although the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted" in the source data, the single-source nature of the notice effectively limits the award to that organization because there is no open competition associated with the posting. The notice also indicates an expectation of only one award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The opportunity was created on August 12, 2019, with an original closing date of August 19, 2019, reflecting a short posting period that is typical for notices of intent tied to directed awards rather than open calls for proposals.
From the administrative details provided, the assistance listing is tied to CFDA number 15.657, and the instrument type is explicitly a cooperative agreement, reinforcing that this is a collaborative federal-partner project. The posting includes an award ceiling value listed as 1, but it does not provide a clear dollar amount in the text shown, so the total funding level cannot be determined from the provided information. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a formal public notice that the Fish and Wildlife Service planned to fund a specific Florida-based conservation partner to conduct targeted recovery work for the Florida grasshopper sparrow, rather than an invitation for multiple entities to apply.Apply for F19AS00333
