Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00307
The grant opportunity titled "Monitor Submerged Aquatic Vegetation, Martin NWR" (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00307) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Department of the Interior, Region 5 notice describing the agency's intent to issue a single-source cooperative agreement to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (Maryland DNR). It is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, with the work falling under the Natural Resources activity area. Although the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted," the text makes clear that this particular notice is not a competitive solicitation; it is primarily a notification that a sole-source award is planned.
The purpose of the proposed award is to monitor submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) resources connected to a shoreline protection project that was recently constructed on Martin National Wildlife Refuge. In practical terms, the monitoring is meant to track the condition, distribution, and potential changes in SAV near the refuge shoreline in relation to that constructed protection work. The monitoring effort is intended to be planned and carried out cooperatively, with Maryland DNR working closely alongside USFWS to design the approach and implement the field and analytical components of the program.
A central justification for selecting Maryland DNR as the sole-source partner is its ability to integrate site-specific monitoring at Martin NWR with broader statewide monitoring protocols, established databases, and standardized analytical methods. This integration is described as increasing the value of the data beyond the immediate project area by ensuring the results can be compared and combined with larger datasets used across Maryland. The notice also emphasizes that Maryland DNR has relevant experience because it has conducted, or is currently conducting, similar SAV monitoring in the area, and it can draw on historic datasets to inform project design and interpret findings over time. That historical context is positioned as important for establishing baselines and understanding trends, which can be difficult to do if an organization lacks prior data or consistent methodology.
The opportunity was created on July 10, 2017, with an original closing date of August 10, 2017. The expected number of awards is one, and the listed award ceiling is $198,000. The project is authorized under the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-2), which is cited as the legal authority supporting the funding for this monitoring work. Overall, the notice functions as a formal statement that USFWS intends to fund a single cooperative monitoring project with Maryland DNR to evaluate SAV resources associated with a specific shoreline protection investment at Martin National Wildlife Refuge.Apply for F17AS00307
