Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Natural Resource Damage Assessment for the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, Oklahoma" (Funding Opportunity Number 2144009057) is a discretionary cooperative agreement announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Natural Resources activity category. It was posted and created on August 4, 2009, with a very short application window closing on August 7, 2009, and later archived on September 6, 2009. The total funding available for this effort is estimated at $60,000, which is also the maximum award amount (award ceiling), and the agency anticipates making one award.
This opportunity is structured as a sole source cooperative agreement with The Nature Conservancy to carry out a natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) associated with the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Osage County, Oklahoma. A natural resource damage assessment is generally used to evaluate harm to natural resources and to plan actions that restore, replace, or compensate for those injuries. In this case, the project is centered on the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve and includes on-the-ground restoration work focused on Dry Creek.
A key component of the proposed work is the restoration of Dry Creek to a stable condition using a natural channel design approach. Natural channel design typically aims to reshape or rehabilitate a stream so it functions more like a stable, self-sustaining natural system, often addressing issues such as erosion, incision, unstable banks, altered flow patterns, or degraded habitat. By emphasizing stability and natural form and function, this kind of restoration can reduce ongoing sediment problems, improve aquatic and riparian habitat quality, and support longer-term resilience of the stream corridor within the preserve.
Eligibility for the award is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. However, because the announcement specifies a sole source agreement with The Nature Conservancy, it indicates the agency's intent to work directly with that organization rather than run a broad competitive selection among multiple applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
For applicants or members of the public who had trouble accessing the full announcement at the time it was posted, the listed point of contact is Janice Deaton, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 918-382-4512, with an email address referenced in the notice.
