Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "A Landscape Analysis and Monitoring Program for the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem," is a discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is set up as a cooperative agreement, which usually means the agency expects to be substantially involved in the funded work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity area is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources, and the funding is tied to CFDA 15.650, listed as "Research Grants (Generic)," indicating a research-oriented award rather than construction, direct service delivery, or formula-based pass-through funding.
The opportunity was structured to result in a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor were listed as $0, which commonly shows up in older postings when the agency does not want to specify minimum or maximum award sizes in the standard fields, even though the total expected funding is stated elsewhere. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility was not open to the general public in the usual competitive sense. The posting indicates the agreement was being awarded to the University of Calgary through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). That wording strongly suggests this announcement functioned as a public notice of an intended or already-determined award to a specific partner within the CESU network, rather than a broad solicitation where multiple applicants would compete. The "EligibleApplicants" field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," and the clarification provided is that the University of Calgary is the intended recipient under that CESU mechanism.
In terms of timing, the notice shows a posted date of September 21, 2010, with a creation date of September 30, 2010. The original closing date was September 28, 2010, and the current closing date is listed as September 23, 2010, reflecting a shortened or corrected window. The archive date is October 28, 2010, which indicates when the opportunity record was moved out of active status in the system. Taken together, the dates and the named recipient reinforce that this was not a long open competition, but more of an announcement associated with a specific cooperative agreement action.
The subject matter, as indicated by the title, focuses on building or supporting a landscape analysis and monitoring program for the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem. While the short description does not provide technical details about tasks, deliverables, or methods, the title implies work such as tracking ecosystem conditions across a large cross-jurisdictional landscape, analyzing trends, and supporting ongoing monitoring that can inform conservation and natural resource management. The Crown of the Continent is widely understood as a significant mountainous ecosystem in the northern Rockies spanning the U.S.-Canada border, so a landscape monitoring program in that area typically involves coordinating data and analysis across agencies and institutions, and potentially integrating information on wildlife, habitats, land use, climate-related indicators, and ecological connectivity.
For administrative and access issues, the contact person listed is Andrea Meyer, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-236-5412. An email address is referenced but not actually included in the provided text, and the notice states that anyone having difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically should contact her.
