Opportunity Summary:
The Conservation Planning opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 11 2 0002) is a Department of Defense cooperative agreement focused on environmental and land conservation planning at a landscape scale. The DoD intends to work with a national nonprofit land conservation organization to strengthen its ability to identify and coordinate key regional partnerships that support conservation outcomes while also improving the efficiency of how conservation efforts are planned and funded. The work is framed around leveraging, meaning the partner is expected to help align and combine public and private resources so DoD conservation objectives can be met more effectively alongside broader community and environmental priorities.
A central theme of the opportunity is strategic partnership-building. The nonprofit partner would support the DoD in pinpointing high-value, landscape-level collaboration opportunities, such as efforts that connect military installation needs with nearby conservation initiatives. The description indicates an emphasis on places like parks, community gardens, historic sites, rural lands, and other natural areas, suggesting the planning work may involve identifying conservation priorities that provide multiple benefits, including community recreation, protection of cultural or historic resources, and preservation of working lands and habitat. By improving coordination across stakeholders and funding sources, the agreement is intended to help the DoD get more impact per dollar and reduce fragmentation across separate conservation efforts.
Funding for this award is set at a total of $75,000, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $75,000, indicating a single fixed-size award rather than a range of potential award amounts. The anticipated number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide a specified non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is not open competition in the usual sense. The opportunity states it is a direct award to the Trust for Public Land, and the eligible applicants field is effectively limited by that eligibility note. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant, often through collaboration, shared planning, or ongoing coordination during performance.
The opportunity was posted on April 21, 2011, created on April 27, 2011, and had a current closing date of May 4, 2011 (earlier than the original closing date of May 20, 2011). It was archived on June 19, 2011. The agency administering the opportunity is the Department of Defense. For access issues or questions tied to the announcement, the listed point of contact is Jason Myers, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-696-2481, with contact via email also indicated in the source data.
