Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00341
The grant opportunity titled "Springs Preserve Refugia Ponds for Pahrump Poolfish and Relict Leopard Frogs" (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00341) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service project under the Department of the Interior focused on species conservation in southern Nevada. It supports a natural resources effort at the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas, where the main objective is to expand and improve habitat for two native aquatic species by making two existing ponds fully functional as refugia. The work is very specific: install and activate electrical infrastructure at the two ponds so they can reliably operate as managed habitats. While the notice does not list every component that power would run, electrical activation at managed ponds typically enables essential systems like pumps, water circulation, filtration, aeration, and related controls needed to maintain stable water conditions.
The biological purpose is to strengthen conservation capacity for the Pahrump poolfish (Empetricthys latos) and the relict leopard frog (Rana onca), both of which are endemic to southern Nevada and therefore especially vulnerable because their natural ranges are limited. The Pahrump poolfish has been federally listed as endangered since 1967, making it one of the longer-listed endangered fish in the region. The relict leopard frog has a notable conservation history as well: it was believed extinct for more than 40 years before being rediscovered in the 1990s. Although it is protected by the State of Nevada, the species was petitioned for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act, and the Fish and Wildlife Service ultimately determined in 2016 that listing was not warranted. Even without federal listing, the grant description makes clear that maintaining secure, managed habitats remains important for the frog's persistence.
Administratively, this is categorized as a discretionary grant within the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.657. The posting lists eligible applicants as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but the award is not open for general competition. The agency issued a single-source determination under Department of the Interior guidance (505 OM 2.14), citing unique qualifications, and explicitly states "PLEASE DO NOT APPLY." In other words, the Service is announcing its intent to make a directed award rather than soliciting proposals.
In terms of funding scale and expected awards, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $56,474, with one award expected. The opportunity was created on August 29, 2019, and the closing language reflects the single-source nature rather than a typical application deadline. Overall, this is a targeted, one-time conservation infrastructure project designed to bring two Springs Preserve ponds online (or fully operational) as refugia, thereby increasing the managed habitat available for two imperiled, locally unique species in southern Nevada.Apply for F19AS00341
