Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00231
The Big River Mussel Habitat Model grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00231) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) notice of intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement to the University of Missouri to support a focused research study in the Southeast Missouri Lead Mining District. The purpose of the project is to model habitat criteria and the distribution of freshwater mussel habitat in the Big River, building a clearer, science-based picture of where suitable mussel habitat exists and what environmental conditions define it. This work is framed as part of a Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) assessment effort, meaning the habitat modeling is intended to inform evaluation and restoration planning associated with impacts in the mining district.
This is not a competitive funding opportunity and there is no application process. USFWS states that competition is not practical because the University of Missouri was previously selected through an earlier competitive process to implement the relevant NRDAR assessment study, and this award continues that established scope of work. The agreement is issued as a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), which signals that USFWS expects to play an active, hands-on role during the project rather than simply providing funding and receiving final reports.
The anticipated project period is approximately one and one-half years. During that time, USFWS will be substantially involved in key elements of the study, including providing existing data on mussel distribution in the Big River, advising on species-specific habitat requirements, helping select study sites, consulting on prior environmental sampling results, and coordinating the project overall. In other words, the university will conduct the technical modeling and analysis, but the Service will contribute data, technical guidance, and decision support throughout to ensure the work aligns with agency needs and prior assessment information.
The award is made under the Great Rivers Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit framework, and the indirect cost rate is capped at the approved 17.5 percent rate for this arrangement. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under environment, natural resources, and research and development-related activity areas (CFDA 15.678). The posted award ceiling is $64,645. The listing shows an original closing date of 2017-06-01, but because this is a notice of intent for a single-source award, that date functions more as an administrative posting detail than a deadline for competing applicants.Apply for F17AS00231
