Opportunity Summary:
The Great Plains LCC Coordination opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support coordination of partnership activities for the Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GPLCC). Landscape Conservation Cooperatives are described as science-based partnerships organized around a defined geographic area, with the practical purpose of helping guide on-the-ground conservation decisions at a landscape scale. In this case, the funded work is centered on keeping partners aligned, organized, and moving in the same direction so that conservation planning and delivery across the Great Plains can be more strategic and effective.
A key point in the announcement is that the Playa Lakes Joint Venture is presented as an especially strong fit to coordinate the GPLCC. The justification is largely about efficiency and alignment: the GPLCC boundary matches the Playa Lakes Joint Venture administrative boundary across Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, and when you factor in its collaborative relationship with the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture in Nebraska, the geographic match is described as nearly complete. The opportunity also emphasizes that most of the organizations FWS wants represented on an LCC steering committee already participate in the Playa Lakes Joint Venture Management Board (roughly 75 percent). Because the same partners are already working together in an existing structure, having Playa Lakes Joint Venture coordinate the GPLCC is framed as a way to avoid duplicative governance and overhead, allowing limited time and funding to go toward conservation results rather than maintaining two parallel entities.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a single-award opportunity (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $88,275, an award ceiling of $90,000, and no stated minimum award amount (award floor $0). It did not require cost sharing or matching. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies ongoing involvement from the federal agency in the project’s execution rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed as “Other,†clarified as “Coordination Activities of a Landscape Conservation Cooperative.†The CFDA number associated with the posting is 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, Generic Training), indicating the award is tied to capacity-building and technical/coordination support functions rather than direct construction or land acquisition.
Eligibility is listed as “unrestricted,†meaning the posting is open to any type of applicant unless otherwise limited by additional eligibility language (none is provided in the text shown). The opportunity was posted on September 3, 2010, with a very short application window: the closing date was September 8, 2010, and it was archived October 8, 2010. The funding opportunity number is FWSR2 GPLCC COOR FY2010, and the administering agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service.
