Opportunity Summary:
The Landscape Conservation Cooperative National Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWSR9 MBP LCC1FY11) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant notice issued as a single-source Notice of Intent to Award, meaning there is no full competitive solicitation and the agency is not requesting proposals from the public. The Service states its intent to enter into a grant agreement with the National Audubon Society under CFDA 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation) and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980, as amended in 1988. The decision to make a noncompetitive award is cited as being within agency discretion under Departmental Manual 505DM2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2).
The project focus is climate-change impacts on birds across the lower 48 states. Specifically, the grant would support modeling to forecast how future climate conditions could shift bird distributions and affect species status. The rationale is that climate change impacts on birds and ecosystems in North America are already observable and expected to intensify, creating an urgent need for forward-looking planning tools. Audubon is identified as the intended recipient because it has already built and tested a forecasting modeling system in California, and the Service proposes to extend and scale that work nationally.
In terms of scope and outputs, the effort is described as large and data-intensive. It would examine more than 600 bird species and generate over 100 predictive scenarios per species. That volume translates into more than 600,000 bird-related data layers, which implies a substantial set of mapped or gridded spatial products intended for analysis and decision support. The stated purpose is to produce information that is critical to the design and implementation of management and conservation strategies, with the explicit intention that the results will be used by all Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) to inform coordinated conservation planning across regions and jurisdictions.
Funding is set at an estimated total of $271,000, with the award ceiling and floor both listed as $271,000, indicating an anticipated single award for that exact amount. The opportunity lists one expected award, requires no cost sharing or matching, and identifies eligible applicants generally as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education, although the notice makes clear the agency is proceeding with a single-source award to the National Audubon Society rather than opening competition. The notice was posted and created on October 14, 2010, with an archive date of October 29, 2010, and the closing date is effectively the Notice of Intent status rather than a proposal deadline.
For questions, the agency directs inquiries to Eleanora Babij, Wildlife Biologist, at 703-358-2488.
