Opportunity Summary:
The FY12 Funding Guidance for the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (Great Northern LCC) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding opportunity (Opportunity Number F12AS00092) designed to support science, data, and information projects that advance the Great Northern LCCs stated conservation priorities. The program anticipates awarding a combined total of up to $1,000,000 to fund roughly 5 to 15 projects. The central expectation is that proposed work directly aligns with the priority needs laid out in Section I of the attached FY12 Funding Guidance document referenced in the full announcement.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements under CFDA 15.664 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs). Individual awards are expected to range from a minimum (award floor) of $1,000 to a maximum (award ceiling) of $200,000. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to bring non-federal match funds to be eligible, though voluntary contributions can sometimes strengthen feasibility depending on the review criteria in the guidance.
The opportunity is broadly open in terms of who can apply, with eligibility extending to Federal, State, Tribal, Canadian, and other public or nonprofit private agencies, institutions, and organizations. Other federal agencies are explicitly considered eligible since they are public agencies or institutions. For-profit organizations are not eligible to apply as primary recipients; however, the announcement clarifies that consultants may be hired as subcontractors when specialized expertise is needed, allowing nonprofit or public applicants to engage private sector technical support while keeping the award with an eligible entity.
The solicitation approach is flexible. Some proposals may be actively solicited from specific agencies or organizations when they hold proprietary information, unique capacity, or jurisdictional authority needed to complete a priority task. In other situations, the Great Northern LCC may release a Request for Proposals focused on a specific type of work under this umbrella announcement. At the same time, unsolicited proposals are allowed, but they must still be responsive to the priorities and will be evaluated using the review criteria described in the guidance document. In practical terms, this means applicants should treat the attached guidance as the primary rulebook for what the funder will consider most important, how proposals will be scored, and what kinds of deliverables and outcomes are expected.
Timing for this opportunity is short and clearly defined. The opportunity was posted and created on March 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 16, 2012. The archive date is April 1, 2012, indicating the announcement was intended as a time-limited FY12 competition or rolling set of targeted solicitations managed within that fiscal year window.
Questions are handled in a structured way. The funder requests that all questions be submitted in writing to the listed contact, and that the opportunity number appear in the email subject line to ensure proper routing and tracking. The point of contact is Yvette Converse, Project Officer, reachable by phone at 406-994-7486 or by email at yvetteconverse@fws.gov. If an applicant cannot access the full announcement electronically, the contact can also assist with obtaining the attached guidance materials.
