Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00276
The Mount Charleston Blue Butterfly Status Surveys grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00276) is a discretionary, environment and natural resources funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project work rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The central purpose is to support field- and science-based status surveys and related analyses focused on the Mount Charleston blue butterfly, with the broader intent of strengthening the evidence base used for future conservation decisions.
The project goal is explicitly scientific: to collect data on the butterfly's current population status, the condition and extent of its habitat, and the main stressors and threats affecting it. These threats can include factors such as habitat degradation or loss, changing environmental conditions, and other pressures that influence occupancy, abundance, reproduction, and long-term viability. The information gathered through this work is intended to directly inform federal decision-making, including potential listing status determinations under relevant conservation authorities and the development of recovery actions designed to stabilize or improve the species' outlook.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The notice is also very specific about its intended recipient: it is a Notice of Intent to make an award to the Board of Regents, on behalf of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (NSIHE). This indicates the agency anticipated a single award rather than an open, competitive multi-recipient process. Consistent with that, the opportunity lists one expected award, with an award ceiling of $155,000.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was created on June 27, 2019, with an original closing date of July 2, 2019, reflecting a short submission window typical of a directed or intended-award notice. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.608, which corresponds to Fish and Wildlife Service programs that support conservation work. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted support for rigorous status assessment work on a sensitive butterfly species, aimed at producing defensible, management-relevant data that can guide future listing considerations and practical recovery planning.Apply for F19AS00276
