Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00274
The grant opportunity titled "NCTC: MJV Program Support" (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00274) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.649. Rather than being a new, open competition, the Service is signaling its intent to amend an existing agreement and add funding to it.
The core purpose of this amendment is narrow and specific: to provide additional funding to the University of Minnesota to support the Monarch Joint Venture (MJV) science coordinator position for one more year. In practical terms, this means the Service is extending or bolstering ongoing work already underway under a previously issued cooperative agreement, ensuring continuity for a key coordination role tied to monarch-related science and partnership activities.
A major operational detail is that this is a single-source action "without competition." That language indicates the Service does not plan to solicit proposals broadly or make a new competitive award. Instead, it intends to continue working with the current recipient, the University of Minnesota, through an amendment to the existing cooperative agreement. Because of that structure, the listing shows "Expected Awards: 0," which aligns with the idea that no new standalone awards are anticipated; the funding would be added to an existing award instrument.
Financially, the posted award ceiling is $80,000, which represents the maximum amount expected for the amendment described. The original opportunity posting date is June 22, 2017, with an original closing date of June 30, 2017, reflecting a short administrative window typical of notices that document an intended noncompetitive modification rather than invite a broad applicant pool.
The stated legal authority for the action is the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, which provides the underlying basis for the Service to support coordination and cooperative work related to fish and wildlife resources. Eligibility is labeled broadly as "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility information, but the substance of the announcement makes clear that the intended recipient for this amendment is the University of Minnesota, consistent with the single-source, noncompetitive nature of the action.Apply for F17AS00274
