Opportunity Summary:
The Science Applications GPLCC TX Science Capacity opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support applied conservation science in the Great Plains Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GPLCC) region. The award is a fixed amount of $55,000, and it is specifically directed to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, reflecting the program's focus on strengthening state-level scientific capacity as a foundation for larger, landscape-scale conservation work. The funding is intended to build regional science resources that can be used for practical, on-the-ground scientific efforts related to fish, wildlife, and plants, and to ensure that Texas can contribute effectively to shared regional conservation priorities.
The main purpose of the agreement is to strengthen the core science and planning capabilities that states need to participate in and support the Landscape Conservation Cooperative model. LCCs were designed to help partners address conservation challenges that extend beyond individual project sites or jurisdictional borders, such as habitat connectivity, large-scale ecosystem change, and cross-boundary species management. Within that model, states are described as essential partners because they provide scientific expertise and technical support that inform landscape-scale conservation designs, one of the primary functions of LCCs. By investing in state capacity, the Service is aiming to improve the ability of partners to develop, interpret, and apply scientific information in ways that align with GPLCC conservation goals and objectives.
The opportunity emphasizes three connected outcomes. First, it seeks to build core capacities through science-focused partnerships so that primary planning and science functions can be carried out reliably and consistently. Second, it supports the creation of scientific products and/or services tied to GPLCC Priority Goals, meaning deliverables should be relevant to the cooperative's identified regional needs rather than isolated or purely academic research. Third, it aims to foster a broader partner network that enables regional solutions, where tools, methods, and findings developed through this work can feed into a shared knowledge base and be used by multiple agencies and organizations across the GPLCC geography. A key expectation is that the products generated will contribute to a regional network, benefiting partners beyond Texas by improving coordination and shared capacity.
From an administrative standpoint, this is categorized under Natural Resources and listed under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). It has no cost sharing or matching requirement, and it anticipates a single award, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $55,000, indicating the amount is predetermined rather than competitive across a range of award sizes. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the targeted nature of the award. The notice was posted March 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 22, 2012, and it was archived April 21, 2012, indicating a short application window typical of certain continuation or partner-specific cooperative agreements. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Melanie Dabovich, Executive Assistant, at 505-248-6277.
