Opportunity Summary:
The FY15 Funding Guidance for the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC), Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00070, is a discretionary federal funding opportunity released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), specifically the Mountain Prairie Region (FWS Region 6). The program is seeking project proposals that support the Great Northern LCC mission and priorities, with an emphasis on natural resources science, technology, research and development, and related information and statistics activities. Funding is offered through cooperative agreements and grants, and the overall intent is to generate practical conservation science products and outcomes that can be used by partners working across the Great Northern region.
A key expectation of this opportunity is that funded projects will produce defined deliverables, such as datasets, analyses, decision-support tools, reports, maps, or other products that advance landscape-scale conservation planning and implementation. The announcement points applicants to the GNLCC Information Management, Delivery, and Sharing Standards for the required approach to handling data and products, including how information should be formatted, documented, delivered, and shared. In other words, the opportunity is not just about doing the work; it is also about producing usable outputs and making sure those outputs are managed in a consistent way that supports transparency, accessibility, and long-term value to the partnership.
The estimated total funding available under the announcement is $1,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $1,000. The opportunity anticipates making around 15 awards, although the agency makes it clear that funding allocations across needs are not specified in advance and that final award amounts are ultimately at the discretion of the GNLCC Steering Committee and the FWS Region 6 Regional Director. The announcement also explicitly notes that FWS Region 6 reserves the right to make no awards at all under this solicitation, which is an important consideration for applicants planning budgets and timelines.
There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have access to non-federal match. Eligible applicants include a broad mix of public and nonprofit entities: state governments, county and local governments (including cities, townships, special districts, and independent school districts), federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status. The eligibility language also clarifies that federal, state, tribal, Canadian, and other public or nonprofit private agencies and organizations may apply, while for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply directly; however, consultants can be hired as subcontractors for specialized tasks. U.S. federal agencies are treated as eligible public agencies/institutions and may submit proposals.
The solicitation was posted on January 12, 2015, and applications were due by March 13, 2015, with timeliness determined by the GNLCC Coordinator based on the date and time of electronic submission. The archive date is listed as April 13, 2015.
