Opportunity Summary:
The Great Plains LCC (GPLCC) Landscape Conservation Design (LCD) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00400) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding announcement focused on building a shared, partner-driven geospatial modeling platform to better coordinate conservation work across the Great Plains. The central purpose was to support Landscape Conservation Design in a way that helps multiple organizations align their actions and investments with the conservation priorities of both the Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GPLCC) and the Playa Lakes Joint Venture (PLJV). In practical terms, the project was meant to create a collaborative mapping and modeling framework that partners could use to identify priority areas, compare scenarios, and coordinate where conservation activities would have the greatest collective impact across the full Great Plains LCC geography, explicitly including the entire PLJV landscape.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal awarding agency during the period of performance (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared decision-making as the platform is developed and used). The activity category was Natural Resources, and it was associated with CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation. The opportunity anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), indicating the agency intended to select one recipient to carry out the project rather than distributing the work across multiple smaller awards.
The budget was fixed and relatively targeted: the estimated total funding was $63,000, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at $63,000. That structure signals the agency had a defined scope and price point in mind and expected proposals to fit that amount rather than proposing a wide range of budgets. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as “Others,” with “Single Source” noted in the eligibility information. In federal grants language, that combination usually means the agency was limiting eligibility to a specific organization or narrow category of applicant identified in the full announcement or supporting documentation, rather than holding a fully open competition. Anyone needing the complete announcement was directed to Grants.gov via the additional information link, and a program contact was provided for access issues.
The timeline was short and specific. The opportunity was posted and created on August 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2014, and it was archived on August 30, 2014. That short application window is consistent with a single-source or highly targeted solicitation where the agency is moving quickly to fund a particular effort or partner collaboration.
For questions or help accessing the announcement, the listed contact was Timothy Uding at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone: 505-248-6411; email: timothyuding@fws.gov).
