Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00298
The grant opportunity titled "15.658 Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00298) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Department of the Interior notice tied to the agency's Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Program. The NRDAR Program focuses on making the public whole after environmental harm by supporting work that restores natural resources and the benefits those resources provide when they have been injured by an oil spill or a release of hazardous substances. In practical terms, this kind of work generally falls under the broader umbrella of assessing environmental injuries, planning and carrying out restoration actions, and implementing projects intended to return affected habitats, wildlife, and ecological services to baseline conditions or to compensate for losses that occurred while resources were harmed.
This particular posting is not a typical open, competitive funding opportunity. It is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which usually means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in project oversight or implementation, rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is Environment, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.658 (the assistance listing for NRDAR-related work).
A key point is that the notice explicitly states it is a "notice of intent to award to a single source," and that there is no full announcement and no request for competitive proposals. In other words, applicants generally cannot apply in response to this notice because it is effectively an administrative public posting that the government intends to make an award to a pre-identified recipient. The "Eligible Applicants" field is listed as "Others," with further clarification normally contained in an additional eligibility section (not provided in the text you shared), but the single-source nature of the notice is what controls how the funding is handled.
The maximum funding amount shown is an award ceiling of $200,000. The posting lists "Expected Awards: 0," which is sometimes used in these systems when the entry is informational, when the award is anticipated but not being competed, or when the opportunity is not structured like a standard solicitation with a predictable number of awards. The creation date for the notice is August 10, 2018, and instead of a standard deadline, the closing information reiterates that there is no full announcement and that it is not open for competitive submissions.
Overall, the opportunity supports NRDAR-related restoration and implementation work intended to address injuries to natural resources caused by oil discharges or hazardous substance releases, but the specific notice you provided functions as a single-source intent-to-award posting rather than an open call for applications.Apply for F18AS00298
