Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Program for the Yuma Area (Funding Opportunity Number 10SF340002) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, specifically the Yuma Area Office. The purpose is to support projects that advance Reclamation's Endangered Species and Environmental Restoration programs during federal fiscal year 2010, covering the period from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. In practical terms, the funding is meant for on-the-ground or programmatic work that benefits threatened and endangered species and/or their habitats in ways that align with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act and Section 7(a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act, which emphasizes proactive conservation actions by federal agencies.
Awards are expected to be relatively small and focused. The program anticipates making about two awards overall, with a likely range of one to three total awards depending on proposal quality and funding availability. Total estimated funding for the opportunity is $80,000, with individual awards ranging from a minimum (floor) of $100 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $40,000. The assistance mechanism listed includes cooperative agreement, grant, and other, which generally indicates that some projects may involve more direct federal involvement or coordination than a standard grant, depending on the chosen instrument and the nature of the work proposed.
Proposals will be selected based on technical merit. Applications are reviewed, evaluated, and rated by a technical panel, so the strongest submissions will typically be those that clearly define the conservation or restoration need, lay out realistic methods and deliverables, show sound scientific or technical reasoning, and demonstrate the applicant's ability to complete the work on schedule and within budget. The notice also emphasizes that only responsive, responsible, and eligible applicants will be considered, which usually means the proposal must follow the solicitation instructions closely, the applicant must be capable of managing federal funds and completing the project, and the applicant must fall within one of the eligible applicant categories.
A broad set of applicants are eligible to apply. Eligibility includes individuals, small businesses, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status, institutions of higher education (public and state controlled), city or township governments, state governments, and Native American tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribal governments. This wide eligibility suggests the program is open to a mix of academic, governmental, private sector, nonprofit, and tribal partners that can contribute to threatened and endangered species conservation and habitat work connected to Reclamation activities in the Yuma Area.
While the listing indicates no formal cost sharing or matching requirement, the agency states that cost sharing or cost matching of 25 percent or more is desired. That means an applicant is not automatically disqualified for proposing no match, but offering a meaningful match (cash or eligible in-kind support, depending on the program rules) may strengthen a proposal by showing commitment, leveraging federal dollars, and increasing overall project value.
Key dates for this specific FY 2010 competition include a posted and created date of March 2, 2010, with an application closing date of April 16, 2010, and an archive date of May 16, 2010. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the program is 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act), and the activity category is Natural Resources.
