Opportunity Summary:
The Hydroclimate Monitoring, Terrestrial Environmental Observation Network (TEON) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00072) was a US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Region 7 discretionary funding action intended to support hydroclimate and terrestrial environmental monitoring work tied to conservation needs in Alaska and the broader Arctic region. The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that the agency expected substantial involvement during the project rather than a hands-off grant. The activity area was listed under environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development, reflecting a focus on applied monitoring and science that can feed directly into management decisions.
A key point in the announcement is that it was a single-source action, not an open competition. USFWS stated its intent to make one award to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), specifically the Institute of Northern Engineering, Water and Environment Research Center, under the authority of 505 DM 2.14(B). The notice explicitly said it was not a request for proposals and that the government did not intend to accept proposals from other parties. In practical terms, this functioned more like a public notice of an intended noncompetitive award than a typical funding opportunity where multiple applicants submit competing applications. Although the listing included an “eligible applicants” category (public and state-controlled institutions of higher education), the single-source language made clear the recipient was already identified.
The effort was being pursued on behalf of the Arctic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (ALCC). The ALCC mission, as described, is to identify and deliver information needed to conserve natural and cultural resources in the face of landscape-scale stressors, with a strong emphasis on climate change. The approach is explicitly multidisciplinary and geared toward coordination across management agencies, conservation organizations, communities, and other stakeholders. Within that mission, the conservation goals highlighted in the notice focus on improving understanding and prediction of how climate change and other stressors affect broad, landscape-level physical processes and ecosystem processes, as well as subsistence and cultural resources. In other words, the monitoring and network work supported by this award was framed as a foundational science and data effort meant to inform real-world conservation planning and adaptation decisions across the Arctic.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding level of $250,000. The award ceiling was $250,000 and the award floor was $100,000, indicating the project scope could have been structured within that range while not exceeding the stated cap. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and is often used when the agency wants to ensure critical baseline monitoring proceeds without requiring non-federal contributions. The CFDA numbers associated with the opportunity were 15.669 (Cooperative Landscape Conservation) and 15.670 (Adaptive Science), which aligns with the ALCC’s role and the goal of producing actionable science for conservation under changing conditions.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on January 20, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 19, 2015, and an archive date of March 21, 2015. Even though it was not an open solicitation, the notice stated the award would be made 30 days after the notice, which is consistent with standard practice for announcing intended sole-source financial assistance actions and allowing a short period for public awareness before finalizing the agreement.
