Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI) issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) indicating the agency plans to make a single, non-competitive award to Ducks Unlimited. The NOI is issued under the authority referenced as 505 DM 2.14(B)2, and the announcement makes clear that no competition is expected, meaning the funding is not being solicited through an open, comparative review of multiple applicants even though the eligibility field is listed broadly.
The purpose of the award is tied to landscape-scale conservation work that helps partners respond to climate change and related environmental stressors across jurisdictions. FWS emphasizes that effective responses to climate impacts on fish, wildlife, and habitat depend on collaborative partnerships that can work across boundaries and coordinate science, planning, and on-the-ground conservation. The agency describes the value of these partnerships as providing spatially explicit scientific analyses and decision-support tools that connect several pieces of the conservation cycle: biological planning, conservation design, conservation delivery, monitoring, and research. The intent is to use integrated, landscape-level information to better identify threats, prioritize actions, and track outcomes in the face of climate-driven change and other limiting factors.
Specifically, Ducks Unlimited is already engaged in a partnership focused on assessing coastal wetland loss in Washington and Oregon resulting from sea level rise. The work mentioned in the announcement uses the Sea Level Affects Marshes Model (SLAMM), a widely used modeling framework for projecting how wetlands and coastal habitats may shift, convert, or be inundated under sea level rise and related processes. In practical terms, the funded effort supports analysis that can inform conservation planning and adaptation decisions for vulnerable coastal marshes and associated fish and wildlife habitats in the Pacific Northwest.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding, with the anticipated funding instrument described as a cooperative agreement (and also referenced as a grant in the source fields). The activity category is Environment, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). FWS expects to make one award, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $30,000, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The posting date and creation date are July 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2010, and an archive date of August 18, 2010.
