Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00293), titled "Cooperative Landscape Conservation - Tribal Engagement and Climate Adaption Planning for the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative," was a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation. The effort sits within the Department of the Interior's broader, science-based response to climate change and is tied to the work of the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), a nationwide network designed to coordinate partners across large ecological regions so conservation decisions are informed by shared, applied science. The Desert LCC, which is the focus of this opportunity, is one of 22 LCCs covering the United States and, where ecological boundaries extend, portions of neighboring regions such as Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Pacific Islands.
The central purpose of the funding was to support tribal engagement and climate adaptation planning within the Desert LCC geography. In practical terms, the project intent was to bring tribes into landscape-scale conservation and climate adaptation conversations in a meaningful, structured way, and to produce planning and science products that can be used by resource managers making real-world decisions. The LCC model emphasizes pooling resources and strategically targeting research so that the resulting information is directly usable for conservation actions affecting land, water, wildlife, and cultural resources. It is explicitly partnership-driven, involving federal, state, and local governments, tribes, universities, nongovernmental organizations, landowners, and other stakeholders, with the goal of aligning efforts that might otherwise be fragmented across jurisdictions and institutions.
From a funding and award standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $19,387. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $19,387, indicating a fixed award size rather than a range. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was listed under Environment and Natural Resources. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the applicant had to be an eligible public university or similar state-controlled academic institution.
The timeline for the announcement was short. The opportunity was posted on June 26, 2015, with the original and current closing date both listed as July 1, 2015, and it was later archived on July 14, 2016. Additional details were available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Timothy Uding, Administrative Officer, reachable at 505-248-6411 or timothyuding@fws.gov.
