Opportunity Summary:
The Climate Change Adaptation Strategy grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CALCC 2004) was a discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) through the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC). It was designed to support a specific piece of work tied directly to the CA LCC 2011 program priorities, focusing on understanding and addressing climate-related risks to bird species in the Sierra Nevada region. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, reflecting that the project would likely involve close coordination between the federal agency and the recipient during implementation.
The core purpose of the project was twofold: first, to evaluate how vulnerable 140 bird species are to climate change, and second, to translate those findings into a practical Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Sierra Nevada birds. To conduct the vulnerability assessment, the Institute for Bird Populations was expected to use the NatureServe Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI), a structured tool commonly used to estimate species vulnerability by combining information about exposure to climate shifts with biological sensitivity and adaptive capacity. The intended outcome was not just a research report, but an applied strategy that could inform conservation planning, prioritization, and on-the-ground adaptation actions for bird populations facing changing temperature, precipitation patterns, and related habitat impacts.
This notice was not a competitive solicitation. USFWS stated there was no application process because it was a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the Institute for Bird Populations. The justification provided was based on the organization having unique qualifications, specifically staff with the technical expertise required to apply the NatureServe CCVI tool and complete the analysis. The award was made under a cited sole-source justification authority (505 DM 2.14 (B4)), which is typically used when an agency determines only one entity is reasonably able to perform the work due to specialized capabilities or other limiting factors.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $82,390, with the award ceiling also set at $82,390. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted on June 13, 2011, with a closing date of June 17, 2011, and it was later archived on July 17, 2011. The anticipated project timeline ran from a start date in July 2011 through an expected completion in December 2012, giving roughly an 18-month window to conduct the vulnerability assessment and produce the adaptation strategy.
For administrative or access-related issues, the announcement listed contacts at the CA LCC, identifying Rebecca Fris and Debra Schlafmann (Science Coordinator contacts) with phone numbers 916-278-9415 and 916-278-9414. Overall, this was a targeted, agency-directed investment intended to produce a scientifically grounded vulnerability screening across a large set of bird species and to turn that analysis into an actionable climate adaptation roadmap for the Sierra Nevada.
