Opportunity Information: Apply for F20AS00071
The Fiscal Year 2020 Candidate Conservation Action Funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F20AS00071) is a competitive funding program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, through its Ecological Services Program. It is focused on proactive conservation work for candidate species and other at-risk species, with the intent of preventing situations from worsening to the point where a species must be listed under the Endangered Species Act. In practical terms, the program is meant to help partners generate and apply solid information about vulnerable species and to support conservation of the habitats and ecosystems those species rely on.
The grant is designed around collaboration. The Service emphasizes cooperative relationships with a wide range of partners, including states, non-profit organizations, private landowners, educators, researchers, and others who can contribute to conservation outcomes. Projects supported under this opportunity can include habitat restoration and other on-the-ground conservation actions, as well as research-oriented work like surveys, monitoring, and studies that fill key data gaps about species status, distribution, threats, and habitat needs. Educational outreach can also be funded when it supports candidate or at-risk species conservation objectives.
Funding can be provided through different award mechanisms, including cooperative agreements and grants, and the opportunity listing also notes procurement contracts as a possible instrument type. The activity area is Environment and Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA number 15.660. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning applications are open to any entity type as long as the applicant meets any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement.
Key timing details include a creation date of April 3, 2020, and an original closing date of September 4, 2020. Applications were due by September 4, 2020, but the announcement also indicates that submissions could be made throughout the year, with final consideration tied to the Fish and Wildlife Service budget cycle. The listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $1,000,000. The opportunity record lists expected awards as 0, which typically indicates that the number of awards was not predetermined or was not entered into the listing, rather than signaling that no awards would be made.
Overall, this opportunity supports early, targeted conservation work that helps keep species from becoming federally listed by funding partnerships that produce actionable science, implement habitat and species conservation measures, and engage stakeholders through outreach where it contributes directly to conserving at-risk wildlife and the ecosystems that sustain them.Apply for F20AS00071
