Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00267
The grant opportunity titled 15.658 Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration, and Implementation is a Department of the Interior effort, administered through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, focused on the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Program. The core purpose of this program is to restore natural resources and the benefits they provide (often described as "services," such as habitat functions, clean water, fisheries productivity, recreation, and other public uses) when those resources have been harmed by an oil spill or a release of hazardous substances. In practical terms, the funding supports work that helps make the public whole after environmental damage by planning, implementing, or supporting restoration actions tied to documented injuries to natural resources.
This particular announcement (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00267) is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically signals that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the work beyond simply issuing funds, such as collaborating on technical direction, coordination, or oversight during the project period. The activity area is listed under natural resources, aligning with the NRDAR mission of assessing damages and carrying out restoration that returns injured resources toward baseline conditions and restores lost services.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That means the intended recipient pool is specifically public colleges and universities or similar state-controlled higher education entities that can carry out the scientific, technical, planning, monitoring, or implementation tasks needed to support NRDAR-related restoration and recovery work.
The notice was created on June 25, 2019, and it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to award a single-source cooperative agreement. This is an important distinction from a typical competitive grant cycle: a single-source intent generally indicates the agency has identified a specific recipient for the award rather than soliciting proposals broadly. The posting also lists an original closing date field that effectively reflects this non-competitive posture, since it is not presented as an open call with a standard application deadline.
The maximum potential award amount (award ceiling) is $87,980. The listing shows "Expected Awards: 0," which commonly appears in records that are not structured as competitive solicitations or where the public-facing listing is primarily informational rather than an invitation for multiple awards. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, cooperative funding action under CFDA 15.658 intended to support restoration activities connected to injuries from oil spills or hazardous substance releases, carried out through a partnership with a qualified public or state-controlled higher education institution.Apply for F19AS00267
