Research in Support of Conservation Planning II Specialized Conservation Prioritization Modeling and Spatial Analysis Assistance | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "Research in Support of Conservation Planning II Specialized Conservation Prioritization Modeling and Spatial Analysis Assistance" was a discretionary grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). It was posted on March 5, 2014, categorized as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and was structured as a single expected award with a fixed total funding amount of $36,500 (the award ceiling and floor were both $36,500). No cost sharing or matching requirement was attached, which means the recipient was not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.

The core purpose of the project was to strengthen conservation planning by providing specialized geospatial support, with an emphasis on conservation prioritization modeling and spatial analysis. The opportunity description makes it clear that modern conservation strategies depend heavily on spatially explicit assessments and models, and that these in turn require careful management, processing, and analysis of geospatial data. In practical terms, the work envisioned under the grant likely involved tasks such as assembling and cleaning spatial datasets, developing repeatable GIS workflows, running prioritization or suitability models, and producing map-based decision-support outputs that can be used to compare alternatives, identify high-value areas for protection or restoration, and communicate results to partners and decision-makers.

A major theme of the notice is capacity: the conservation planning team anticipated a large pipeline of GIS-heavy projects, some of which would involve complex modeling applications, custom code development, and automation of time-consuming processes. While the team had some internal GIS capability (basic skills among several members and advanced skills among two), they expected that the volume and technical complexity of the work would exceed what existing staff could reasonably handle. The grant was therefore intended to secure specialized assistance to fill that gap, especially for advanced spatial analyses and modeling that benefit from dedicated geospatial expertise.

From an administrative standpoint, the posting functioned as a notice of intent rather than an open competition. Both the original and current closing date fields state that the opportunity had already been awarded, specifically to Dave LaPlante, Natural Resource Geospatial. The eligible applicants field references "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility information, but the eligibility section reiterates that this was already awarded, indicating there was no active application window for new applicants at the time of posting. The notice was archived on April 5, 2014.

For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Misty Bradford, Cooperative Agreements Assistant, reachable by phone at 530-842-5763.
