Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00174
The Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00174) is a discretionary funding program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, under CFDA 15.615. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to remain substantially involved in the project during performance rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The overall program authority is grounded in two major federal statutes: the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq., as amended), which provides the core framework for conserving listed species and the ecosystems they depend on, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 4601, as amended), a long-standing funding mechanism that supports conservation and outdoor resource projects.
This specific posting is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to the Arizona Game and Fish Department, meaning it is not a broadly competed solicitation and is instead aimed at funding one designated state agency. As a result, the only eligible applicants identified are state governments, and the expected number of awards is one. The maximum award amount listed (the award ceiling) is $97,200, indicating the total federal funding anticipated for the single award will not exceed that figure.
The notice was created on March 27, 2017, with an original closing date of April 21, 2017. Even though it is single-source, the recipient is still expected to submit an application package that fully addresses the required scope and conditions. The announcement specifies that applications must cover all activities and stipulations described in Section I (Description of Funding Opportunity) and must follow the Application Checklist provided through the Notice of Funding Opportunity. In practical terms, that means the project narrative, budget, and supporting documents must align with the agency's stated conservation purpose, document how funds will be used, and demonstrate compliance with any required federal terms, reporting expectations, and programmatic conditions tied to ESA-related conservation work.
In short, this opportunity is a targeted federal cooperative agreement intended to support endangered species conservation-related activities in Arizona through the state wildlife agency, with a modest funding ceiling and standard federal application and compliance requirements anchored in the Endangered Species Act and the Land and Water Conservation Fund framework.Apply for F17AS00174
