Opportunity Summary:
The Great Basin LCC Project Funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00242) was a discretionary federal grant/cooperative agreement program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support projects that advance Science and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) within the Great Basin Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC). The program focused on efforts relevant to the Great Basin LCC geography, which spans portions of Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and California, and it supported work generally aligned with environment, natural resources, and related humanities or cultural affairs themes where TEK is applicable.
Funding was offered through two federal assistance program areas (CFDA 15.669 Cooperative Landscape Conservation and CFDA 15.670 Adaptive Science). The agency anticipated making about 16 awards, with an estimated total program funding amount of $566,037. Individual awards were expected to range from $20,000 to $100,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which meant applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligible applicants included a broad mix of governmental, academic, nonprofit, and tribal entities. Specifically, eligibility covered state governments; county governments; city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). This wide eligibility pool reflects the collaborative nature of LCC work, where projects often involve partnerships among agencies, researchers, tribes, and conservation organizations.
