Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00013
The Marine Monuments Outreach grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00013) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.608. Its main purpose was to fund the creation of high-quality film and photographic products focused on U.S. marine national monuments, delivered in finished, ready-to-use formats that FWS could use both internally and externally for outreach. In practice, this means the project was aimed at producing polished visual media suitable for public education, communications, and storytelling, as well as for agency briefings, presentations, and other official uses where professional-grade content is required.
The opportunity was framed around recent, high-profile federal actions affecting several marine protected areas. Specifically, it followed presidential proclamations that expanded the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, established the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, and expanded the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument through a presidential proclamation paired with an accompanying Secretarial Order. The timing and framing indicate that FWS wanted to document, interpret, and help explain these monument designations and expansions through compelling visuals, likely emphasizing conservation value, ecological significance, and the broader public interest served by marine monument protections.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any further conditions that might have been included in the full solicitation under the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. The funding parameters show a single anticipated award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $200,000, suggesting FWS intended to select one partner to carry out the full scope of work rather than splitting the effort among multiple grantees. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the structure also implies substantial federal involvement during the project, such as coordination with FWS on content priorities, review cycles, access or permitting considerations, branding and messaging alignment, and acceptance of final deliverables.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on November 3, 2016, with an original closing date of November 8, 2016, indicating a very short application window. The posting also notes that the recipient had already been selected, which typically means the announcement functioned as a public notice for an award that was effectively predetermined or already decided through an internal or prior selection process. Overall, this opportunity was designed to quickly produce professional outreach media tied to major updates in U.S. marine monument policy, with deliverables intended to strengthen FWS communications and public engagement around these protected ocean areas.Apply for F17AS00013
