Opportunity Summary:
The "Endemic Plant Species and Land Birds" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CALCC 2002) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC) discretionary grant in the natural resources category. It is structured as a cooperative agreement with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, which is also the maximum award amount, and USFWS expects to make a single award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement tied to this funding.
The purpose of the project is tightly linked to the CA LCC 2011 program priorities and focuses on climate-change planning for California biodiversity. The California Academy of Sciences is slated to carry out a systematic analysis centered on uncertainty in models that project future distributions of California endemic plant species and land birds. In practical terms, the work is meant to look closely at how confident (or uncertain) various distribution modeling approaches are under changing climate conditions, and then translate that understanding into information that can better support on-the-ground decisions. The announcement highlights that the resulting analysis is intended to guide real management and investment choices such as where to prioritize monitoring, what areas might be best suited for restoration, which lands could be strategic for acquisition or protection, and how to think about infrastructure planning in ways that account for shifting species ranges.
This opportunity is not a competitive, open application program. The notice explicitly states there is no application process for this project because USFWS intends to issue a single-source award to the California Academy of Sciences. The justification for the non-competitive approach is based on the Academy's unique qualifications, specifically the specialized technical expertise of its staff to conduct the uncertainty analysis described. The announcement cites a justification reference (505 DM 2.14 (B4)) supporting the single-source decision.
Key dates in the public posting indicate it was posted June 13, 2011, created June 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2011, and an archive date of July 17, 2011. The anticipated project timeline runs from a start in July 2011 through completion in December 2012, reflecting a roughly 18-month effort to perform the analysis and deliver findings relevant to climate adaptation decision-making.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contacts are Rebecca Fris or Debra Schlafmann, identified as Science Coordinator contacts, reachable by phone at 916-278-9415 or 916-278-9414.
