Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00090) comes from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Headquarters Region 7) and is designed to support the 4th International Human Bear Conflicts Workshop held March 20-22, 2012 in Missoula, Montana. The agency planned to make a single-source award through a cooperative agreement to the Living with Wildlife Foundation (LWWF). Because it is single-source, the notice explicitly states it is not a request for proposals and the government did not intend to accept competing applications. The award was expected to be made about 15 days after the notice was posted.
The main purpose of the funding is to underwrite a professional workshop focused on reducing human-bear conflicts. The workshop is positioned as part of an ongoing international series that brings together the people most directly involved in preventing and responding to conflicts, including agency managers, conservation officers, community wildlife specialists, and other practitioners. The workshop format emphasizes professional discussion, debate, and information-sharing aimed at improving practical methods already being used in the field. In addition to sharing best practices, the workshop is intended to strengthen coordination among agencies and organizations and help participants align around research and management approaches that are scientifically sound and operationally realistic.
From the Service perspective, the workshop supports several broader goals: promoting well-designed research at high professional standards, encouraging responsible stewardship of bear populations through science-based habitat and population management, and advancing innovative conflict-reduction solutions that work for local communities while also fitting within national or regional conservation policies. A notable thematic focus is placed on polar bears, reflecting both their changed status in the United States and the growing influence of climate change on polar bear conservation and human-wildlife interactions.
The stated objective of the cooperative agreement is straightforward: to provide support and assistance to LWWF specifically for planning and delivering the March 2012 workshop in Missoula. LWWF is described as uniquely qualified because it was already hosting the event and had the relevant capacity and expertise to carry it out. The eligibility category listed for the opportunity is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in practical terms the funding was intended for LWWF alone due to the single-source structure.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $1,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. The opportunity was categorized under education, environment, and natural resources, and it referenced CFDA 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance - Generic Training). Key dates included a posted date of March 2, 2012, and a closing date of March 16, 2012, with the listing archived on April 2, 2012.
For direct questions, the notice provided program contact information for Craig Perham, Biologist (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Anchorage, Alaska; 907-786-3810; craigperham@fws.gov). It also listed an agreements officer contact, Rich Primmer (907-786-3611; richprimmer@fws.gov), for assistance accessing the full announcement or related administrative details.
