Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00323
The opportunity titled "15.670 Adaptive Science" (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00323) is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the environmental funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.670. The notice was created on August 28, 2018, and it carries an award ceiling of $93,500. Although it appears in the format of a funding announcement, it is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning it is not open for competitive proposals and does not invite the public to submit applications by a deadline.
The purpose described in the notice is a proposed collaborative effort between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Gulf of Mexico Alliance, working through the Alliance's Gulf Star program. The collaboration is intended to further advance the development of a Gulf Coast Adaptation and Resilience Plan. In practical terms, the work focuses on strengthening the technical foundation of the plan by improving quantitative assessments that evaluate how vulnerable Gulf Coast habitats and selected focal species are to stressors and changing conditions. In addition to ecological vulnerability work, the effort also aims to incorporate information about human community resilience, indicating that the planning approach is meant to address both natural systems and the people and communities that depend on or are affected by those systems.
Eligibility is not presented as a broad open call; it is listed generally as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere in the full announcement text. The notice also lists expected awards as zero, which aligns with the statement that this is not an application solicitation and instead reflects an intent to pursue a specific collaborative arrangement rather than make new competitive awards.Apply for F18AS00323
