Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00271
This funding opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.665, the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) program. The legal authority behind the program is the Emergency Wetlands Resources Act of 1986, which supports federal efforts to identify, map, and track wetlands resources across the country. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to help the FWS maintain and improve the quality of its wetlands mapping products, which are widely used for conservation planning, natural resource management, and related environmental decision-making.
The specific purpose of this agreement is to support NWI mapping and data improvements in parts of New York where existing wetlands data are not compliant with current standards. The emphasis on "non-standard compliant data" signals that some areas likely contain older or inconsistent datasets that do not match present NWI mapping specifications or data formats. The funded work would therefore focus on improving accuracy, consistency, and usability of wetlands spatial data so that the affected portions of New York can be brought into alignment with current NWI requirements and integrated more reliably into national datasets.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on technical approaches, reviewing interim products, setting or confirming standards, and coordinating deliverables. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $110,000. The activity category is listed as Environment, reflecting the conservation and resource inventory nature of the work.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and to private institutions of higher education. The opportunity was created on July 27, 2018, and had a very short application window, with an original closing date of July 30, 2018. The funding opportunity number is F18AS00271, which can be used to locate the official listing and any associated instructions, required forms, or technical standards referenced for the mapping and data improvement tasks.Apply for F18AS00271
