Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00187
This grant opportunity, titled "Monitoring and outplanting of salt marsh bird's beak," is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action focused on conservation work for salt marsh bird's beak (Cordylanthus maritimus ssp. maritimus). The project centers on two closely related tasks: monitoring existing natural populations of the plant and carrying out outplantings to establish new or bolstered populations, followed by monitoring those outplanted sites. In practical terms, the work typically involves field surveys to document where plants are present, how many individuals exist, their survival and reproductive success, and the habitat conditions influencing them, along with hands-on restoration-style planting efforts intended to improve the species' long-term persistence in suitable salt marsh habitat.
The funding instrument listed is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means FWS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. Cooperative agreements often include coordination on methods, monitoring protocols, reporting expectations, site access, and alignment with broader refuge or regional recovery priorities. The activity category is Environment, and the CFDA listing is 15.657, which corresponds to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service financial assistance programs commonly used for species and habitat conservation work.
The total potential award amount (the ceiling) is $82,000, with an expectation of a single award. The opportunity number is F18AS00187, created June 21, 2018, with an original closing date of June 29, 2018. Although "Small businesses" are shown as eligible applicants, the notice makes clear this is not an open, competitive solicitation. It is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to make an award to a specific organization, Tidal Influence, and it states that no competition is expected and that others should not apply. In other words, the posting functions primarily as a transparency and documentation step for a planned, directed award rather than an invitation for new proposals from the public.
Overall, the opportunity supports targeted monitoring and restoration actions for a sensitive salt marsh plant species, using a cooperative agreement mechanism and a relatively modest budget sized for field-based survey work, propagation/outplanting activities, and associated data collection and reporting. The key takeaway for prospective applicants is that despite the general eligibility category, this particular notice was intended for a single recipient and was not open for competitive applications.Apply for F18AS00187
