Opportunity Summary:
The Practitoners Network grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00427) is a discretionary, science and technology-focused cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation. It was posted on September 17, 2012, with an extremely short application window that closed on September 21, 2012, and it was archived on September 24, 2012. The program anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, matching the award ceiling of $50,000 (with an award floor of $0). No cost sharing or matching funds were required.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to support the Practitoners Network by providing preliminary funding and staffing capacity so network members can carry out a proposed Scope of Work tied to Large Landscape Conservation. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help the University of Arizona partner with other institutions and organizations to stand up early-stage coordination and implementation support. The emphasis is on building the initial operational backbone (staff time, coordination, and early implementation resources) that allows practitioners involved in large landscape conservation efforts to move planned work forward, rather than leaving the network to rely solely on informal or unfunded collaboration.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the University of Arizona serving as the central partner and likely lead recipient for the cooperative agreement. As a cooperative agreement, the award type implies active federal involvement during performance, meaning the Fish and Wildlife Service would be expected to collaborate with the recipient in shaping or overseeing aspects of the work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the posted point of contact was Sonja Scott, Administrative Officer at the Fish and Wildlife Service (703-358-1720, SonjaScott@fws.gov). Additional information was referenced through Grants.gov.
