Opportunity Summary:
The "Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR DO 16 016) is a discretionary U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR) funding announcement that uses a cooperative agreement to support science and technology research and development related to large-scale conservation challenges in the Desert Southwest. It is tied to the work of the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative (Desert LCC), which functions as an applied science and conservation partnership focused on strategically guiding conservation decisions for both natural and cultural resources. The central idea behind the program is to make conservation more effective by grounding management actions in coordinated, science-based planning and by producing practical outputs that decision-makers can use.
A key feature of the Desert LCC approach is its use of interdisciplinary, multi-organization teams that bring together managers and technical experts from across the conservation community. These teams focus on "Critical Management Questions" (CMQs), meaning the high-priority, real-world questions that land and resource managers need answered in order to respond to major stressors operating at broad geographic scales. The grant emphasizes targeted efforts that lead to usable products, such as synthesized information, analyses, and decision support tools intended to help agencies and partners plan and act more effectively in the face of complex pressures (for example, climate-driven change, cumulative impacts, or other landscape-scale stressors).
The specific purpose of this funding is to establish or support Research Support positions that provide hands-on scientific and technical assistance to Desert LCC science projects identified by its working groups and teams. Rather than funding a single narrow research study, the opportunity is oriented toward staffing capacity that can accelerate multiple projects, improve coordination, and strengthen the overall delivery of Desert LCC science. The positions are intended to work closely with Desert LCC leadership, particularly the Science Coordinator based at the University of Arizona, and also in coordination with the Southwest Climate Science Center, which is likewise located at the University of Arizona. In practice, this means the funded work is expected to contribute to getting projects completed efficiently and to ensuring the results are communicated and delivered in a way that is accessible and useful to managers and partners.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 7, 2016, with an application closing date of June 21, 2016. The program lists an award ceiling of $916,200 and anticipates making one award. The activity category is "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.560. Eligibility is indicated as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided in the full announcement text. Overall, the grant is designed to strengthen the science support infrastructure behind the Desert LCC so that collaborative teams can more effectively answer priority management questions and produce decision-ready tools for conservation across the Desert Southwest.
