Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00054
The GLRI Endangered Species Grant Program (GLRI-ES), Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00054, is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make three non-competitive, single-source awards under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative umbrella. The total anticipated funding is approximately $160,000, and the agency plans to use cooperative agreements and/or grants to support targeted endangered species conservation actions tied to Great Lakes ecosystems and associated habitats. This posting is not a traditional open solicitation; instead, it serves as formal public notice that the agency intends to fund specific recipients because competition is considered impractical under the Department of the Interior single-source justification cited as 505 DM 2.14.B04.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.662. The agency listed eligibility broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere, but the practical effect in this notice is that there is no application process because the recipients have already been identified. The creation date for the notice is December 13, 2017, with an original closing date of December 20, 2017, reflecting a short public notice window rather than an open competition period. The award ceiling shown is $160,000, and the expected number of awards is three.
The first intended award is to the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) for approximately $95,000. This funding is designed to maintain existing captive populations of the Chittenango ovate amber snail, including work conducted at SUNY-ESF and in partnership with the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. The focus here is on sustaining captive assurance populations, a common endangered species tool used to prevent extinction risk, support husbandry knowledge, and potentially provide individuals for future reintroduction or augmentation if appropriate.
The second intended award also goes to SUNY-ESF, for approximately $35,000, to continue the American hart's tongue fern propagation program. The notice specifies that this effort covers both New York and Michigan populations, indicating a cross-state conservation component. Propagation programs for rare plants typically involve controlled cultivation, genetic and source tracking, preparation for outplanting where suitable, and ongoing coordination with land managers to ensure habitat conditions support long-term survival.
The third intended award is to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NY State Parks) for approximately $30,000. This project will monitor and manage piping plovers along the shore of Lake Ontario in New York. Piping plovers are a federally protected shorebird that depends on carefully managed beach habitat, and monitoring and management commonly includes nest and chick monitoring, protecting nesting areas from disturbance, coordinating with site staff and the public, and implementing measures to reduce threats during the breeding season.
The Fish and Wildlife Service explains that competitive selection is not practical because the named recipients are uniquely qualified to carry out the work. The notice points to standard merit-based considerations supporting the single-source approach, including the recipients' existing qualifications (or ability to obtain them), direct experience with this type of specialized conservation work, access to adequate resources and facilities, understanding of the project goals and service objectives, and a proven track record of completing similar projects and submitting required reports on time. In short, this opportunity functions as a targeted funding action for ongoing, specialized endangered species efforts where continuity, existing infrastructure, and demonstrated expertise are central to achieving conservation outcomes.Apply for F18AS00054
