Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00386
The CFDA 15.665 opportunity under the 1986 Emergency Wetlands Resources Act (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00386) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). It is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The program sits in the Environment funding activity category and is tied to federal work that supports wetlands conservation and related mapping and information needs.
The specific project described is "National Wetlands Inventory Mapping Coastal Barrier Resource System Units." In practical terms, this points to work associated with the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), which is the federal program responsible for producing and maintaining standardized wetlands maps and related geospatial data. The mention of "Coastal Barrier Resource System (CBRS) Units" indicates the focus is on coastal barrier areas that are designated under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act framework, where federal policy often restricts certain types of federal financial assistance to discourage development in high-risk coastal zones and to protect natural resources. Mapping wetlands within CBRS units supports better planning, conservation, compliance, and decision-making by ensuring wetlands data are current, accurate, and usable for federal and partner needs in these sensitive coastal locations.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This suggests the award is intended for a qualified nonprofit organization capable of conducting technical mapping, geospatial analysis, and data development or updates consistent with NWI standards. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, the selected recipient would typically coordinate closely with FWS staff on scope, methods, deliverables, quality assurance, and data submission requirements, rather than operating entirely independently.
The posting was created on August 11, 2017, with an original closing date of August 23, 2017, and it notes that applications are due as soon as the posting appears, signaling an unusually short turnaround time. The award ceiling is $84,997, which represents the maximum amount expected for a single award under this notice. The listing shows expected awards as 0, which often indicates uncertainty at the time of posting (for example, funding availability, internal approvals, or whether the opportunity is intended for a very specific project need that may or may not proceed), rather than a guarantee that no award will be made.
Overall, this opportunity funds targeted wetlands inventory mapping work in coastal barrier system units, using a cooperative agreement structure with FWS, for up to $84,997, and is restricted to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.Apply for F17AS00386
