Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00380
The Native Pollinator Assessment and Habitat Conservation opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (Midwest Region), focused on strengthening native pollinator conservation on the Meskwaki Settlement in Iowa. The Service planned to make a single-source award, meaning it was intended to be issued without competition to one specific federally recognized Tribal government: the Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa. The purpose is to fill local knowledge gaps about pollinators on the Settlement and convert that information into practical, on-the-ground habitat actions that support long-term conservation.
At the core of the project is the creation of a baseline index of native pollinators present on the Settlement, with particular attention to the rusty patched bumble bee. Establishing a baseline index generally means collecting systematic information that can serve as a starting point for future comparisons, helping track whether pollinator populations are stable, improving, or declining over time. The grant description indicates the baseline work would use both active and passive collection techniques, which typically refers to approaches like netting or timed surveys (active) alongside traps or other stationary sampling methods (passive). This combination is meant to improve coverage across different habitats, seasons, and pollinator behaviors, producing a more reliable picture of what species are present and where.
A second major outcome is planning and prioritization: the project would identify and map priority areas on the Meskwaki Settlement where pollinator habitat improvements would have the greatest conservation benefit. This step connects the baseline data to decision-making by highlighting the locations most suitable for restoration, enhancement, or protection. Priority-setting can help focus limited resources, guide future restoration site selection, and ensure that habitat improvements are placed where they are most likely to support native pollinators, including species of concern like the rusty patched bumble bee.
The third objective is implementation of habitat improvements in those priority areas through active restoration and/or enhancement. In practical terms, this generally involves actions that increase the availability of nectar and pollen resources across the growing season, improve nesting or overwintering habitat, and reduce pressures that limit pollinator success. While the announcement does not list specific restoration treatments, the intent is clear: the project is not only a study, but also a habitat conservation effort that uses the assessment and prioritization work to drive tangible ecological improvements on the ground.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00380 under CFDA 15.670, with an activity category of Natural Resources and an instrument type of Cooperative Agreement, indicating substantial involvement by the federal agency is expected during the project. The anticipated award ceiling was $175,000, with one expected award. The notice was created on September 9, 2019, and had an original closing date of September 13, 2019, reflecting a short turnaround consistent with a single-source intended award. Overall, the grant is structured to move from information gathering, to targeted planning, to direct habitat action, all centered on improving native pollinator conservation outcomes on the Meskwaki Settlement.Apply for F19AS00380
