Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service grant opportunity titled "Research Associate - GIS Support" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00040) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on science and technology and other research and development activities that support fish and wildlife management. The purpose of the award is to strengthen how restoration work is planned and carried out by improving the practical, day-to-day use of a database and GIS-related tools among field crews and by creating usable subsets of that database for volunteer organizations involved in restoration. In plain terms, the project is meant to help bridge the gap between existing data systems and the people doing on-the-ground work, so that restoration decisions are better informed, more consistent, and easier to implement across different teams.
A key part of the scope is facilitating adoption, meaning the work is not just technical database development in the abstract, but also making sure field personnel can actually use the database effectively in real conditions. That can include improving workflows, data entry and retrieval practices, and ensuring that the information collected in the field feeds back into the system in a way that is reliable and useful for decision-making. Another major component is supporting volunteer organizations by providing tailored subsets of the database that match what volunteers need for restoration tasks, while still fitting within the larger data management and protocol framework. The opportunity also emphasizes improving the existing protocol used to make restoration decisions, suggesting the project includes reviewing, refining, and standardizing decision rules or procedures so that restoration actions are guided by updated data and consistent criteria.
From an administrative standpoint, the agency anticipated a single award with total estimated funding of $79,050, which is also listed as both the award ceiling and award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding is tied to CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). The announcement was posted on November 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of December 6, 2013, and it was archived on December 16, 2013.
Importantly, the eligibility section makes clear this was not an open competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly labeled as a notice of intent to make a single-source award, with no competition expected, and it instructs prospective applicants not to apply. For anyone needing the full announcement or having access issues, the contact listed is Joanne Hammaren, Administrative Officer, reachable at 702-515-5454 or joannehammaren@fws.gov.
