Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00301
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), under the Department of the Interior and its Science Applications program, announced a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00301) to support recovery planning work for the threatened Apache Trout. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient and USFWS are expected to work closely together with substantial federal involvement in the project. The opportunity was created on July 15, 2019, with an original application deadline of September 15, 2019, and it anticipated making a single award.
This funding is set up as a single-source award specifically intended for Trout Unlimited (TU). The core purpose is to have TU provide technical assistance to USFWS by planning, coordinating, writing, and leading a multi-agency team tasked with producing two major recovery-related documents: a Species Status Assessment (SSA) and a Cooperative Management Plan (CMP) for the Apache Trout. These documents are not just helpful background reports; they are described as prerequisites for a future delisting decision, meaning they are required steps USFWS needs to complete before it can formally evaluate whether the Apache Trout should be removed from the federal list of threatened and endangered species due to recovery progress.
The project focus is firmly within the environment and natural resources category (CFDA 15.608). The SSA is generally used by USFWS to compile and analyze the best available scientific information on a species, including its current condition, threats, and likely future scenarios. The CMP is intended to organize cooperative, multi-partner management actions and commitments that help ensure long-term conservation outcomes. In this case, the intent is to support the scientific and planning foundation needed to assess whether recovery has reached a point where delisting could be justified and defensible.
Financially, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $105,417, with one expected award. USFWS notes that the effort was selected as a Region 2 Conservation Priority by the Regional Directorate Team, which signals that the work is considered strategically important within that region and aligns with regional conservation planning priorities. While the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the description makes clear the award is intended to go to TU as the single-source recipient to lead and coordinate the multi-agency document development process.Apply for F19AS00301
