Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00180
The grant opportunity titled "TYO: Conservation Heritage Platform" (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00180) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have an active partnership role in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits in the Education and Natural Resources space and is associated with CFDA numbers 15.664 and 15.676, indicating it ties into established federal assistance program areas within USFWS.
At its core, the project is about building a new, dedicated website using and leveraging the existing TYO platform. The purpose of the site is to curate, organize, and share environmental and conservation history resources in a way that is useful and accessible to a broad audience. The intended users include students and educators who need reliable learning materials, historians who are interested in conservation heritage and archival context, and conservation organizations and enthusiasts who want authoritative resources on the history and development of environmental and wildlife conservation efforts.
A key part of the proposal is that the new website is not meant to operate in isolation. Instead, it is designed to complement and integrate with other Fish and Wildlife Service web-based resources and outreach tools. The description specifically calls out alignment with Conservation Connect, Pollinator Resources, and Conservation Career resources, along with the broader set of content already available through the TYO platform. In practical terms, this suggests the site would likely cross-link with these existing initiatives, avoid duplicating content unnecessarily, and help users move between related educational and engagement resources more smoothly.
The funding details indicate a relatively small, targeted award: a ceiling of $25,000 with an expectation of one award total. That combination usually signals a narrowly scoped project, such as building a specific web presence, assembling a curated collection, creating an initial content structure, or producing a pilot version of the platform that can be expanded later. The opportunity was created on April 11, 2019, with an original application closing date of April 20, 2019, reflecting a short application window and a time-sensitive project timeline.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification expected in an additional eligibility field (not included in the text provided). This generally implies that eligible applicants may include nontraditional entities beyond state and local governments, such as nonprofits, educational partners, or other organizations that can carry out the platform development and content curation work in coordination with USFWS. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a partnership-driven effort to preserve and share conservation heritage through a modern, user-focused digital hub that strengthens and connects existing USFWS education and engagement resources.Apply for F19AS00180
