Opportunity Summary:
The Gulf Coast Prairie LCC FY15 Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00310) was a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Cooperative Landscape Conservation program (CFDA 15.669). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expected to be substantially involved during the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funding activity area was broadly aligned with environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development, reflecting an emphasis on applied conservation science and coordination rather than stand-alone construction or on-the-ground implementation.
The purpose of the award was focused on three main support areas for the Gulf Coast Prairie Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC). First, it aimed to provide communication support, which generally covers activities like coordinating information flow among partners, producing outreach and technical communication materials, supporting meetings or workshops, maintaining shared communication platforms, and ensuring that science and planning outputs are understandable and usable by decision-makers. Second, it included CESU support, referring to collaboration through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units network, which is commonly used by federal agencies to partner with universities and other organizations for research, technical assistance, and coordination. Third, and most centrally from a science-planning perspective, it sought to advance the identification of a suite of science needs, meaning the recipient would help organize, prioritize, and define the research and data gaps needed to support landscape-scale conservation in the Gulf Coast Prairie region. In practice, this kind of work often involves convening partners, compiling existing datasets and studies, developing a science agenda, and translating partner priorities into concrete research questions or project concepts that can be pursued in later funding cycles.
This was a single-award opportunity, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The estimated total funding was $190,140, and both the award ceiling and floor were also set at $190,140, indicating the agency anticipated making one award at that exact amount rather than offering a range. No cost sharing or matching was required, reducing barriers for the recipient and signaling that the federal funds were intended to fully support the defined scope of work.
Eligibility was described as "Others" with clarification in the full announcement, and the listing specifically noted "Single Source," which typically indicates the agency intended to make the award to a particular organization rather than running a broad competitive process. The announcement was posted on July 16, 2014, created the same day, and had a very short application window, closing on July 23, 2014. The archive date was August 23, 2014, after which it would no longer be actively available as an open opportunity.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the announcement through Grants.gov, the contact person provided was Timothy Uding at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 505-248-6411 or by email at timothyuding@fws.gov.
