Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00370
The National Wildlife Refuge System Enhancements opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00370) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award. It is not a standard competitive grant solicitation and does not have a full announcement package associated with it. The notice indicates that the Service plans to issue one cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation.
The purpose of the planned cooperative agreement is to provide technical and financial assistance to support efforts that identify, conserve, manage, and enhance both the ecological condition and the physical property condition of National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) resources. The work may occur on refuge lands and waters as well as off-refuge areas when those activities help protect or improve NWRS resources. In practical terms, this type of scope can include activities that strengthen habitat conditions, address resource management needs, improve infrastructure or property stewardship where it affects refuge resources, and support broader landscape efforts that benefit refuge units and the species and ecosystems they support.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The listed activity areas span education, environment, science and technology, and other research and development. The associated CFDA number is 15.654, which corresponds to National Wildlife Refuge Fund-related assistance listings used by the Fish and Wildlife Service for refuge-focused programs.
Although the eligibility field is marked as "unrestricted" (open to any type of entity), the key limiting factor is that this is explicitly a single-source notice of intent. That means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is not inviting competing applications from the broader public. The posting functions mainly as a transparency and documentation step rather than an open call for proposals.
Key timing details in the notice show a creation date of August 4, 2017, and an original closing date of August 11, 2017, reflecting a short window typical of single-source intent notices. The notice indicates an expected number of awards of one. An award ceiling is listed as 1, which in context appears to reflect the single-award nature of the action rather than a meaningful dollar cap. Overall, the announcement communicates the Service's plan to fund one cooperative agreement focused on improving the condition and management of National Wildlife Refuge System resources through coordinated technical and financial support, including work beyond refuge boundaries when needed to achieve refuge conservation goals.Apply for F17AS00370
