Opportunity Summary:
This Notice of Intent to Award (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS LCC R1G100) is a discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicating the agency plans to make a single, non-competitive award to the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). The intent to award is issued under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 DM 2.14(B)2, which is the basis the Service is using to proceed without an open competition. While the listing shows eligibility as “unrestricted,” the text makes clear that no competition is expected because the award is specifically intended for NWF to continue and expand work already underway.
The purpose of the project centers on landscape-scale conservation planning and decision support in the context of climate change and other broad stressors affecting fish, wildlife, and habitats. The Service emphasizes that effective responses to climate-driven and cross-boundary conservation challenges depend on partnerships that span different jurisdictions and organizations. In practical terms, the work supports collaborative landscape conservation by developing or expanding spatially explicit scientific analyses and tools. These kinds of tools are meant to connect the full chain of conservation work, including biological planning, conservation design, conservation delivery (on-the-ground actions), monitoring, and research, so partners can identify threats, prioritize actions, and track outcomes at a scale large enough to match the ecological problems being addressed.
This particular award is described as an expansion of information NWF is already compiling, with the goal of covering the entire geographic range of the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative (North Pacific LCC). In other words, the project is not starting from scratch; it is extending an existing dataset or analytical effort so that partners working across the North Pacific region have consistent, region-wide information to use for climate adaptation and broader landscape conservation decisions.
The opportunity anticipates one award totaling $73,000, with both the award floor and award ceiling set at $73,000, indicating a fixed award amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Environment, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development. The CFDA program number associated with the funding is 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). Key dates included a posted/creation date of July 7, 2010; a closing date of July 19, 2010; and an archive date of August 18, 2010, reflecting that this was a time-limited notice tied to the planned award.
