Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "NetMap analysis and geomorphilogical classification of the Flint Hills Ecoregion" is a Fish and Wildlife Service (U.S. Department of the Interior) effort to produce a NetMap-based digital landscape model for the Flint Hills Ecoregion, with a strong focus on building an analytic stream layer that can support geomorphological and hydrologic interpretation. The core technical task is to use a 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM) to generate a detailed stream network and associated terrain-derived attributes. Using flow-routing algorithms, the project will map how water is expected to move across hillslopes and through the defined channel network, effectively turning elevation data into a structured, analysis-ready representation of streams and contributing drainage areas. On top of that stream framework, the work will apply existing regression relationships to estimate key channel and flow characteristics, specifically bankfull width, bankfull depth, and mean annual flow, which are common parameters used in river classification, habitat assessment, and watershed planning.
Administratively, this announcement is not a typical open competition. It is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source (non-competitive) award to the Earth Systems Institute under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2.14 B (4), citing "Unique Qualifications" as the rationale for limiting competition. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and will be issued as a grant, with the funding activity listed under "Other" (with clarification provided in the notice). Only one award is expected.
The estimated total funding for the project is $80,000, with an award ceiling of $80,000 and an award floor of $70,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on June 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2014, and it was archived on July 24, 2014. The listing references CFDA number 15.670 under the "Adaptive Science" program area, indicating the work is intended to support applied science and decision-making needs tied to natural resource management.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact is Greg Watson at the Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 303-236-8155, email gregwatson@fws.gov).

4) What is NetMap in the context of this announcement?
In this announcement, NetMap refers to a framework for creating a digital landscape model and an analysis-ready stream network derived from terrain (elevation) data, suitable for geomorphological and hydrologic analysis.
5) What is the primary technical deliverable described?
The core technical task is to use a 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM) to generate a detailed stream network and associated terrain-derived attributes, resulting in an analytic stream layer.
6) What input dataset is specifically required for the analysis?
The work is based on a 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM).
7) How will the stream network be generated from the DEM?
