Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00372
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a discretionary funding opportunity under the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) program titled "Modeling Species at Risk to Support State Wildlife Action Plans in the Southeast" (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00372). The focus of this effort is environmental in nature and centers on improving the information base that state agencies rely on when developing and updating State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs) across the southeastern United States. In practical terms, the project is aimed at using modeling approaches to better understand, map, and predict the status or distribution of species considered "at risk," so that states can make better-informed conservation decisions, prioritize actions, and allocate limited resources more effectively.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals a more collaborative relationship between the federal agency and the recipient during the period of performance. Cooperative agreements often involve substantial agency involvement in areas like project design refinement, data sharing, technical review, coordination with partners, and ensuring that deliverables align with program needs. The activity falls under CFDA 15.678, a catalog designation associated with Fish and Wildlife Service assistance programs.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the intended recipients are state universities, public colleges, or similar public academic entities. That aligns with the CESU model, which is designed to connect federal agencies with academic and research partners capable of delivering applied science products, decision-support tools, and technical analyses that can be used by resource managers. The stated award ceiling is $35,000, indicating a relatively small, targeted project scope, likely intended to produce specific modeling outputs, analyses, or planning-support materials rather than a large multi-year research program.
A key point about this notice is that it is not an open call for proposals. The original closing date field makes clear it is a "Notice of Intent to Issue a Single Source" award, not a request for applications. In other words, the Fish and Wildlife Service is indicating plans to make a non-competitive award to a specific recipient rather than soliciting applications from the broader eligible community. The listing shows expected awards as 0, which commonly appears in systems when the agency is publishing intent information rather than running a competitive process with a set number of awards to be made through peer review.
Overall, this opportunity can be read as a small, collaboration-oriented funding action intended to support southeastern states in their SWAP responsibilities by providing modeling-based insights on vulnerable species. The likely end products would be decision-relevant science deliverables that help state wildlife agencies identify where species at risk occur, where conservation actions may be most effective, and how changing conditions might influence future risks, all packaged in a way that is usable for planning and management rather than purely academic publication.Apply for F19AS00372
