Funding posture
Few announcements, mid-scale dollars
Mid-band ceiling ($100,000 to $2.0 million) with only 1 indexed Grants.gov rows for Fish and Wildlife Service Research Grants. Competitive traffic is light relative to the printed award size, so deadlines on the sparse NOFO list matter more than catalog rank.
