Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00361
The grant opportunity titled "Design and Implement Status Survey for Cape Fear Shiner" (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00361) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not a competitive funding announcement and there is no separate, full solicitation document associated with it. It is being issued by the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, under CFDA 15.657, and the planned funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement. The notice was created on August 30, 2019, with an original closing date of September 6, 2019, and it anticipates one award.
The purpose of the project is to conduct an updated status assessment for the Cape Fear Shiner by revisiting survey locations that were previously assessed in 2007. The work is intended to refresh and modernize information about where the species currently occurs and how it is doing across its range, using a consistent set of methods and an updated scientific framing. The project emphasizes not just collecting field observations, but doing so in a way that directly supports real-world management decisions by producing data that agencies can interpret and apply.
A central feature of the proposed work is that the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), through its Aquatic Wildlife Diversity Program, will help define and refine survey methods in coordination with a team of species experts. Those methods will be developed in the context of the conservation concepts of resiliency, redundancy, and representation (often abbreviated as the "3 Rs"). In practice, this means the survey is expected to be designed so results can speak to how well populations can withstand stressors (resiliency), how many separate populations or occurrences exist to buffer against localized losses (redundancy), and how well the species is conserved across the variety of habitats and ecological settings it historically occupies (representation).
Overall, the opportunity supports applied environmental and natural resources research and monitoring work, with an emphasis on generating current, decision-ready species status information. The end product is meant to provide natural resource management agencies with updated, structured data they can use for conservation planning, recovery efforts, habitat management, and future regulatory or listing-related evaluations tied to the Cape Fear Shiner.Apply for F19AS00361

What species is the work focused on?
The work is focused on the Cape Fear Shiner.
Why are the 2007 survey locations being revisited?
The notice indicates the updated assessment will revisit locations previously assessed in 2007 so that current information can be developed on where the species occurs and how it is doing across its range.
What kind of information is the project intended to produce?
The project is intended to refresh and modernize information about current occurrence and condition of the Cape Fear Shiner across its range, and to produce updated, structured data that management agencies can interpret and apply.
Is this project only about collecting field observations?
No. The notice emphasizes collecting field observations in a way that directly supports real-world management decisions by producing data that agencies can interpret and apply.
Who will help define and refine the survey methods?
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), through its Aquatic Wildlife Diversity Program, will help define and refine survey methods in coordination with a team of species experts.
How will the survey methods be developed?
The methods will be developed using a consistent approach and an updated scientific framing, and will be refined in coordination between NCWRC and a team of species experts.
What conservation framework will guide the survey design?
The survey methods will be developed in the context of the conservation concepts of resiliency, redundancy, and representation (the "3 Rs").
What does "resiliency" mean in the context of this project?
Resiliency refers to how well populations can withstand stressors, and the survey is expected to be designed so results can speak to that aspect of population status.
What does "redundancy" mean in the context of this project?
Redundancy refers to how many separate populations or occurrences exist to buffer against localized losses, and the survey is expected to be designed so results can address that aspect.
What does "representation" mean in the context of this project?
Representation refers to how well the species is conserved across the variety of habitats and ecological settings it historically occupies, and the survey is expected to be designed so results can speak to that aspect.
What type of work does this opportunity support?
It supports applied environmental and natural resources research and monitoring work, with an emphasis on generating current, decision-ready species status information.
What is meant by "decision-ready" status information?
In this notice, the term is used to describe information and structured data that natural resource management agencies can interpret and apply to real-world conservation and management decisions.
How will the results be used by agencies?
The end product is intended to provide agencies with updated, structured data usable for conservation planning, recovery efforts, habitat management, and future regulatory or listing-related evaluations tied to the Cape Fear Shiner.
Does the notice describe the intended end product?
Yes. The notice describes an end product that provides updated, structured, decision-ready status data for agency use in conservation planning and related activities.
Is the project intended to inform regulatory or listing-related evaluations?
Yes. The notice states the results are meant to support future regulatory or listing-related evaluations tied to the Cape Fear Shiner.
