Opportunity Summary:
The Great Plains LCC Landscape Conservation Science Research FY2011 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWSR2 GPLCC FY2011) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service solicitation, issued on behalf of the Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GPLCC), to fund applied conservation science that can directly support on-the-ground resource management decisions across the Great Plains. The GPLCC is described as a partnership focused on applied science at a landscape scale, and the work sought under this call was meant to address broad, cross-boundary stressors affecting fish, wildlife, and plants in the GPLCC geography (the program referenced the GPLCC website for a map and background on the partnership).
A defining feature of this funding opportunity was its emphasis on clearly articulated, priority science needs developed by the GPLCC Science Subcommittee. Rather than inviting any general conservation research, applicants were directed to base proposals on the specific research needs laid out in the FY2011 GPLCC science priorities report. Those needs were framed using a set of "umbrella species" as a practical way to identify wider habitat and landscape issues; in other words, the selected umbrella species served as stand-ins for broader ecological conditions, helping ensure that funded projects would be relevant to larger systems and multiple species rather than narrowly focused topics.
The opportunity was categorized as a discretionary federal funding program within the Environment and Natural Resources activity area. Awards were expected to be made through either grants or cooperative agreements, with an estimate of around 10 awards. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). Cost sharing or matching was not required, which lowered a common barrier for applicants and signaled that proposals would be evaluated primarily on scientific merit, management relevance, and fit to the stated priorities rather than on the applicant's ability to bring non-federal funds.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full announcement. The posting and creation date were April 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 22, 2011, indicating a relatively short application window. The announcement was later archived on May 22, 2011. The agency name shown in the listing was "Migratory Birds," reflecting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service organizational context through which the solicitation was managed.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or seeking clarification, the point of contact was James Broska, Science Coordinator for the GPLCC, reachable by phone at 505-248-6279. Overall, the grant call was designed to build a targeted portfolio of applied research projects that produce actionable science for managing landscape-scale conservation challenges in the Great Plains, guided by a formal set of FY2011 science priorities grounded in an umbrella-species framework.
