Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Revisions to 2003 Publication on Depression Era Buildings and Structures" is a Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding notice focused on updating and reissuing an existing 2003 publication about Depression-era buildings and structures. The work is set up as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, meaning the agency expects to stay actively involved during the project, and it is framed specifically as a single-source award through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) network. The notice states the intended recipient is the University of Colorado Denver, justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B #4) on the basis of unique qualifications, and the opportunity is not structured as an open competition.
The project itself is essentially an editorial, research, and production effort to modernize the 2003 document and make it more complete and usable. The first step is a full review of the existing publication to decide what content should remain, what gaps exist, and what sections are outdated and need revision. After that, the recipient is expected to propose a revised organization for the publication, which suggests the final product may be restructured rather than simply corrected. A major component is also to explore digital publication options in addition to producing hardcopies, indicating the agency wants the updated resource to be available in formats that are easier to distribute, access, and maintain over time.
A substantial portion of the work involves gathering updated and new content. This includes acquiring new photographs, adding new resource information and updated historical or narrative material, and incorporating administrative details that support site tracking and compliance needs. The description explicitly mentions items such as Determinations of Eligibility, site numbers, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service asset numbers, which implies the revised publication is intended not only as a historical or interpretive document but also as a practical reference tied to agency asset management and cultural resource documentation.
Once the new information is collected, the recipient must integrate the updates and additions into the revised publication and then handle distribution, either by providing physical hardcopies or delivering digital files. In other words, the deliverables likely include both a finalized, updated manuscript/publication package and the outputs needed to disseminate it in print and/or digital form.
Administratively, the opportunity number is F15AS00006 and the CFDA number listed is 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). The total funding amount is fixed at $17,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $17,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected. The notice was posted October 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of October 30, 2014, and an archive date of November 23, 2014. The contact listed for access issues or questions is Meg Van Ness, Project Officer, at 303-236-8103 and megvanness@fws.gov.
