Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00362
The "Edangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00362) is a Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice tied to endangered species recovery work. The specific project described is "KNLT Fort Knox Indiana Bat Monitoring," indicating the funding is intended to support monitoring activities for the Indiana bat at or associated with Fort Knox. The Indiana bat is a federally listed endangered species, and monitoring is a common recovery-related activity used to track population status, habitat use, and potential threats so that management actions can be targeted and evaluated.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and would be issued as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, such as coordinating methods, reviewing progress, or collaborating on technical decisions, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The activity category is listed as "Environment," and the program is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.657, which corresponds to endangered species conservation funding.
The listing makes clear that this is not an open competition. The original closing date field explicitly states: "This is not a request for applications. This is a Notice of Intent to Issue a Sole Source Award." In practice, that means the agency is announcing its intent to make a single, non-competitive award to a specific recipient, rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants. As a result, the "ExpectedAwards" value is shown as 0, reflecting that it is not seeking applications through a standard competitive process.
The maximum potential funding amount ("Ceiling") for this action is $83,773. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work, deliverables, or period of performance in the provided text, the project title strongly suggests field and/or acoustic monitoring, survey coordination, data collection, and reporting related to Indiana bat presence and activity in the Fort Knox area. Such monitoring efforts typically support compliance and conservation planning, help assess the effectiveness of habitat management, and contribute data that informs broader recovery implementation decisions.
Eligibility, as stated in the notice, is limited to "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." The agency identified is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the record creation date is August 3, 2017. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a targeted, sole-source cooperative agreement notice for a specific endangered species monitoring project, with a funding ceiling of $83,773, rather than an open grant competition inviting public applications.Apply for F17AS00362
