About this program
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded its most recent grant under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants) on March 1, 2018 — over eight years ago — making this program inactive for current pursuit.
The program historically funded land management, research, and data collection and analysis to conserve natural resources. Recent awards demonstrate specific focus: migratory bird husbandry and survey work; species-specific research including bat telemetry, running buffalo clover recovery monitoring in Ohio, and mussel surveys; habitat assessment and restoration for at-risk species including prairie dogs and ferrets; and landscape-scale conservation planning such as Gulf Coast strategic assessments. Award sizes ranged from under $15,000 to approximately $1.77 million, with typical individual awards in the $15,000–$100,000 range.
Funding was predominantly delivered as Cooperative Agreements (60 percent of 477 total awards) with Project Grants comprising 39 percent. The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service central office funded 382 awards totaling $19.4 million federal dollars obligated, with regional offices in Regions 8, 2, 4, 6, and 1 together accounting for most remaining volume. Combined federal dollars obligated across all 477 awards totaled $29 million, with recipients providing $700 thousand in non-federal cost-share.
Award activity declined sharply after 2015. The program issued 63 awards in 2014 and 69 in 2015, then dropped to 27 in 2016, 26 in 2017, and only 3 in 2018. No grant awards have been disbursed since March 2018. Recent-opportunities notices posted between mid-2015 and mid-2019 were predominantly single-source awards to specific organizations or notations of intent to award; no openly competitive solicitations appear in the recent-opportunities block. The most recent opportunity notice dates to June 2019 and was similarly a single-source selection notice.
