Opportunity Summary:
The "GBI Cultural Survey Monitoring" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R8 DNWRC FY11 004) is a discretionary federal funding action from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It was issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, which typically means the agency has already identified a specific recipient and is announcing its intent rather than running a broad, open competition. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement or grant, reflecting that FWS expects to have a collaborative role in the work, not just provide funding with minimal involvement.
The project is centered on cultural survey and monitoring activities tied to natural and cultural resource management in the Intermountain West. The work is associated with the Great Basin Institute (GBI) Research Associate Program, which is designed to create hands-on research and field experience for undergraduate and graduate students, recent graduates, and experienced professionals who are building or advancing careers in resource management, conservation, stewardship, and related disciplines. The program emphasis is on conservation and management of both natural and cultural resources, with geographic focus areas explicitly including the Great Basin and Mojave Deserts and the Lake Tahoe Basin. In practical terms, the scope implied by the title and description points to field-based cultural resource survey and monitoring that supports land and wildlife management needs, likely involving documentation, condition assessment, and ongoing monitoring of cultural resource sites in coordination with FWS priorities.
Funding for this action is fixed at $100,000, with both the award floor and award ceiling listed as $100,000, indicating an expectation of one award at a set amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. Only one award was expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education, which narrows the applicant pool to qualifying nonprofits positioned to administer this type of field and research program.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 4, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2011, and an archive date of September 17, 2011. Because it is a Notice of Intent to Award, these dates function more as administrative milestones than a typical competitive submission window. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed agency contact was Amy Sprunger at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone: 702-515-5450; email: amysprunger@fws.gov).
