Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit Notice of Intent to Award is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary funding opportunity announcing the agency's intent to make a single, non-competitive award to Oregon State University, specifically the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute (OCCRI). The notice is issued under the authority cited as 505 DM 2.14(B)4, and it signals that the USFWS expects to proceed directly with this partner rather than run an open competition. In practical terms, this kind of notice is used when an agency determines a specific organization is uniquely positioned to deliver the required work, often because of specialized expertise, established collaboration structures, or continuity needs for ongoing landscape-scale science and management efforts.
The purpose of the award is tied to landscape conservation and climate adaptation needs in the North Pacific region. USFWS emphasizes that effectively responding to climate change and other stressors across broad landscapes depends on partnerships that cut across jurisdictional boundaries. The agency frames the value of these collaborations as producing spatially explicit scientific analyses and decision-support tools that connect multiple steps in conservation work: biological planning, conservation design, on-the-ground conservation delivery, monitoring, and research. The overall intent is to improve the ability of USFWS and its partners to understand and address climate-related threats and other limiting factors affecting fish, wildlife, and habitats at a landscape scale rather than in isolated project areas.
OCCRI is identified as the intended recipient because its personnel have relevant technical expertise and experience in producing high-resolution geospatial products and models needed for this landscape conservation work. The notice specifically highlights capabilities in generating maps and models for dominant vegetation types, biomass burned, and vegetation carbon. These products are particularly important for climate and habitat planning because they help agencies evaluate current conditions, detect trends, estimate carbon storage and emissions dynamics, and understand how fire and vegetation changes may influence habitat quality and species resilience over time. The geographic focus referenced in the notice is the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative area, indicating that the work supports regional-scale conservation planning and coordination across federal, state, tribal, and other partners.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FWS LCC R1J100 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement (also referred to as a grant in the listing). It falls under the activity category "Environment, Science and Technology and other Research and Development" and is associated with CFDA number 15.650 (Research Grants, Generic). Only one award is expected, and the funding amount is fixed: both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $38,760, meaning the anticipated award total is $38,760 with no range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this award, so the recipient is not expected to provide required matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal support.
The posting timeline shows the notice was posted on July 7, 2010, with a creation date of July 8, 2010. The original and current closing dates are both July 19, 2010, and the archive date is August 18, 2010, indicating this was a time-limited notice that has since been archived. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and city or township governments, but the notice makes clear that the USFWS intends to award specifically to Oregon State University/OCCRI and that no competition is expected.
