Opportunity Summary:
The Science Applications GPLCC OK Science Capacity opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to provide targeted support for applied conservation science in the Great Plains region. Under this award, the Service will provide a total of $50,000 to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, with the full amount set as both the award floor and ceiling. The funding is intended to strengthen regional scientific capacity within the Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GPLCC) by expanding the resources, partnerships, and practical scientific work needed to support conservation planning and decision-making for fish, wildlife, and plant species across the region.
The central purpose of the grant is capacity building rather than a single isolated research study. The Service is using this agreement to help Oklahoma and the broader GPLCC partnership improve their ability to carry out core science and planning functions that underpin landscape-scale conservation. In practice, that means supporting science-focused collaboration that can generate usable data, analysis, and related products that inform conservation priorities, management actions, and long-term strategies aligned with GPLCC goals and objectives. By investing in foundational scientific capabilities, the program aims to make state and regional partners more effective at responding to conservation challenges that cross jurisdictional boundaries, such as habitat fragmentation, species population changes, and large-scale environmental stressors.
A key feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on products and outputs that feed into a shared regional network. The agreement anticipates that work completed with these funds will not only serve Oklahoma but will also contribute to broader GPLCC resources that partners across the Great Plains can use. The intended beneficiaries extend well beyond the single recipient agency and include other state wildlife agencies, non-governmental organizations, educational institutions, tribes, private entities, and any other interested parties. The public benefit is framed in terms of improved access to credible scientific information and analysis that supports better conservation outcomes and more coordinated management across the GPLCC geography.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on March 16, 2012, and closed on March 22, 2012, with an archive date of April 21, 2012. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and references CFDA number 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). Only one award was expected, and eligibility was limited to state governments, consistent with the award being directed to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which indicates the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching funds to receive the full award amount.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed was Melanie Dabovich, Executive Assistant, reachable by phone at 505-248-6277.
