Opportunity Information: Apply for F20AS00058
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F20AS00058) titled "Cooperative Data Collection, Management, Analysis, and Manuscript Writing for Publications; Logistical Support For International Research, and Youth Engagement for Endangered Species Projects." The funding is intended to support a set of interconnected conservation and research tasks that build on existing U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service data and ongoing endangered species work, with a particular emphasis on strengthening research outputs, international field logistics, and collaboration across borders.
At its core, the opportunity is designed to help turn existing Service data into usable conservation products. That includes organizing and managing datasets, conducting analyses, and supporting manuscript development so results can be written up and published. The aim is not just to collect more information, but to improve how already-collected information is processed, interpreted, and communicated through formal publications, which can directly influence future management decisions and conservation planning.
A major programmatic focus is support for research on yellow-billed loons, a species of conservation concern in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. The notice indicates funding would assist with research activities tied to this species, which may include data handling, coordination, and other support functions that enable scientific work to move forward. While the announcement does not list specific field methods, it clearly frames the grant as supportive of research efforts, particularly where coordination and analysis are needed to produce publishable outcomes.
The opportunity also highlights education and outreach, including youth engagement related to endangered species projects. This suggests the funded work is expected to include collaboration on public-facing communication, educational components, and efforts that involve young people in conservation topics or activities. These elements often serve to broaden conservation impact beyond scientific circles by improving awareness, building local or community support, and developing future conservation capacity.
Another significant component is logistical support for international research, specifically in Russia. The Service indicates the award would help with "all logistical aspects" supporting research efforts in Russia, which can include planning, coordination with partners, movement of people and equipment, scheduling, field support arrangements, and other operational needs that are essential for successful international fieldwork. Tied to that is an explicit goal of fostering bilateral collaboration with researchers in the Russian Federation, meaning the project is intended to strengthen working relationships and cooperative scientific efforts between U.S. and Russian researchers.
Administratively, the award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance rather than operating as a hands-off grantmaker. The activity category is listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the original posting), and the CFDA number is 15.678. The opportunity was created on February 18, 2020, with an original closing date of February 23, 2020, indicating a short application window typical of a targeted or pre-identified award pathway.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the notice is specifically a notice of intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement to the Wildlife Conservation Society through the CESU network, citing DOI Policy 505 DM 2.14(B). In practical terms, that means the agency signaled its intent to fund a particular organization via an established cooperative framework (the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units network) rather than running a fully open competition. The posting lists an award ceiling of $100,000 and anticipates up to five awards, suggesting multiple related awards could be made under the broader effort, with individual projects capped at that ceiling.
Overall, this grant opportunity centers on boosting the conservation value of existing data through analysis and publication, supporting targeted species research (notably yellow-billed loons), expanding education and youth engagement, and enabling and coordinating international research logistics while strengthening U.S.-Russia scientific collaboration on endangered species and related conservation priorities.Apply for F20AS00058
