Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00263
The grant opportunity titled "Spalding's Catchfly Data Collection in Montana" (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00263) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.615. It was created on June 16, 2017, with an original closing date of June 23, 2017, and it anticipated making one award with a maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $28,349.
The purpose of the funding is to support required scientific monitoring for Spalding's catchfly, a federally listed species, by collecting data needed to show population trends over time. The central goal is to produce monitoring results that can be used to inform and support recovery-related decisions for the species, consistent with federal conservation authorities including the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (as amended) and the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (as amended). In practical terms, the work is designed to strengthen the evidence base used by the Fish and Wildlife Service when evaluating whether recovery actions are working and what additional steps may be needed.
The proposed project focuses on completing three years of baseline monitoring, which is specifically identified as required in the Spalding's catchfly Recovery Plan (USFWS 2007) and the associated monitoring guidelines (USFWS 2012). The monitoring would be carried out at two Key Conservation Areas (KCAs) in Montana: Sullivan Gulch and Crosson Valley/Sullivan Hill. By establishing baseline conditions and tracking trends across multiple years at these priority sites, the project aims to generate consistent, decision-relevant data about the plant's status and trajectory.
On eligibility and award approach, the notice states it is an intent to award a single-source grant to the Montana Natural Heritage Program at the University of Montana, citing DOI Policy 505 DM 2(4) for "Unique Qualifications." This indicates the agency planned a non-competitive award because the named recipient was considered uniquely qualified to perform the work, rather than opening the competition broadly, even though the general eligibility category is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full notice.Apply for F17AS00263
