Opportunity Summary:
The Plant Conservation and Restoration Ecology opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NWP 13 0003) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District, under its Environmental Stewardship mission for the Willamette Valley Project. It is designed as a follow-on agreement focused on plant conservation monitoring, applied research, and training, with the practical goal of improving how USACE restores and manages native habitats tied to its lands and operations in the Willamette Valley.
The core work centers on scientifically evaluating restoration and management techniques in the Willamette Valley's endangered prairie ecosystems. In plain terms, the recipient is expected to help determine what actually works on the ground when it comes to prairie restoration and long-term stewardship, using monitoring and research approaches that can guide future management decisions. A key assigned responsibility is managing a native seed production group, which supports restoration by ensuring a reliable supply of appropriate native plant material. The scope also allows for additional conservation and restoration work beyond prairie systems, including projects in other Willamette Valley habitats and in Western Cascade biomes, depending on project needs and coordination with USACE.
This award is made as a cooperative agreement, meaning USACE anticipates substantial involvement and collaboration with the recipient during the project, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The legal authority cited for the agreement is 33 USC 2339(a), which supports USACE assistance programs.
Funding is limited and specific: the opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000, and an award ceiling of $30,000 (with a stated award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are described generally as non-profit agencies and academic institutions, although this particular notice specifies that it is a follow-on cooperative agreement entered into solely with the Institute of Applied Ecology, meaning it is effectively not a competitive open solicitation despite the general eligibility language.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted and created on July 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 31, 2013, and an archive date of August 30, 2013. The activity category is Environment, and the agency is listed as the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact is Alan Takayama, Contract Specialist, at 503-808-4626.
