Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to make a single, non-competitive Cooperative Agreement award to the Wildlife Management Institute to carry out work under the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC) focused on biological planning, conservation design, and evaluation. Because it is a notice rather than a full funding announcement, it is essentially communicating the agency's plan to fund a specific partner organization that it considers uniquely qualified to do the work based on technical expertise. The award is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B(4)), which allows a single-source award when competition is not required due to the specialized qualifications of the applicant.
The overall purpose of the project is to support the NALCC's regional conservation mission and to complement the Northeast Regional Conservation Needs program by developing and organizing the science, data, and decision-support needed for large-scale conservation in the North Atlantic region. The scope is organized around three connected categories. First is Biological Planning, which includes identifying and refining priority and representative species, assessing population status, defining population objectives, and analyzing threats, limiting factors, and related modeling needs. Second is Conservation Design, which emphasizes spatially explicit conservation planning products such as datasets and maps that highlight priority areas, evaluate habitat change driven by climate change and other major landscape stressors, estimate future habitat capacity, consider non-habitat limiting factors, and create decision-support tools that can guide optimal landscape designs and habitat objectives. Third is Evaluation (Monitoring and Research), which centers on outcome-based monitoring, assumption-driven research, and the development of performance measures so that conservation actions can be tracked and adjusted based on measurable results.
USFWS also outlines its own role in making this effort function across partners and projects. The Service is responsible for facilitating the NALCC Steering Committee and associated task groups so they can prioritize science needs and select project categories, participating in Technical Review Teams, helping plan a workshop, and coordinating project activities among partner agencies. A key part of that coordination is ensuring that the work funded under this agreement aligns with and complements other related NALCC efforts, reducing duplication and improving the usefulness of the resulting products for regional conservation decisions.
Administratively, this is a discretionary environmental funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement instrument, with an expected single award. The total estimated funding is $260,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are also listed as $260,000, indicating the agency anticipated a single fixed-size award rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility in the posting is described as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than institutions of higher education, but the notice makes clear the intended recipient is the Wildlife Management Institute under a single-source determination. The opportunity was posted on October 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of October 28, 2010, and an archive date of October 29, 2010. The listed CFDA number is 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). For access issues, the notice provides a grants officer contact: Christal Cutler at 413-253-8233.
