Opportunity Summary:
The "Conservation Management of Rivers in NWRS" opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) cooperative agreement intended to strengthen river conservation and management across the National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) and designated components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System (NWSR System). The core purpose is to support collaborative, interagency work that improves how rivers are managed, conserved, and responsibly used, while also building public understanding of why rivers matter to communities, ecosystems, and quality of life. USFWS is partnering with the River Management Society (RMS) and coordinating with other federal wild and scenic river-administering agencies, including the USDA Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the National Park Service, to promote and enhance the NWSR System and to encourage river conservation efforts at state and local levels.
A key deliverable highlighted for FY 2010 is $10,000 to fund early planning and organizational work for the 2011 Interagency River Management Workshop, which USFWS planned to host in Alaska. The workshop concept is framed as practical and interactive, aimed at professionals dealing with real-world river issues. It is intended to provide networking, problem-solving, and training opportunities for people working in river science, stewardship, and management across multiple sectors and jurisdictions.
This funding is explicitly a single-source award to RMS, meaning it is not open to competition. USFWS cites Department of the Interior guidance (505 DM 2.14) as the basis for issuing a noncompetitive cooperative agreement and gives two reasons competition is not practical. First, continuity and timing are considered critical: the initial planning and organization funds are needed to ensure the workshop succeeds, and running a competition could disrupt momentum and create delays that would harm the overall project. Second, RMS is presented as uniquely qualified due to its national role and track record organizing river-focused professional programming and interagency events. RMS is described as a nonprofit professional organization whose mission is to support the community of river professionals by sharing tools, strategies, and techniques for responsible river use and resource management, and by encouraging partnerships and networks across agencies, researchers, educators, consultants, and private-sector stakeholders.
USFWS emphasizes RMS experience built over roughly 15 years of collaboration with federal agencies that administer the NWSR System, particularly through organizing and co-sponsoring biennial Interagency River Management Workshops and hosting biennial River Management Symposia. Under this agreement, RMS would handle core logistical and administrative functions for the 2011 workshop as requested, such as identifying meeting and lodging venues, managing registration, coordinating lodging commitments, handling travel and honoraria logistics, and producing proceedings. Beyond conference support, RMS is also expected to coordinate with NWRS to generate and advance ideas that support river conservation and management within the refuge system, including identifying and soliciting partner organizations to collaborate and potentially co-fund projects when appropriate.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as an earmark cooperative agreement in the environment category with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000, an award ceiling of $10,000, and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Only one award was expected. It was posted August 12, 2009, with an original (and current) closing date of August 14, 2009, and archived September 13, 2009. The CFDA listing is 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, Generic Training). Eligibility is effectively restricted: the notice states it is single-source funding for RMS and that no other applicants should apply. The listed agency contact for access issues is Kay Shipp, Administrative Officer, at 703-358-2510.
