- The funding agency has allocated a total of $49,000.00 to eligible and selected applicants.
- Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $49,000.00 in funding.
- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 1 candidate(s).
- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- This Single Source Award is being awarded in accordance with Department of the Interior Policy 505 DM 2.14 B (2) Continuation. The activity the award will fund is necessary for the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of, an activity we are funding, and holding a competition would have a significant adverse effect on continuing or completing the already funded activity., which allows for award without competition to an applicant. This recipient and project meet this criteria due to the fact that the recipient competed under for this work under a federal announcement and the proposal was reviewed and selected as part of that process. The funding original was granted to a partner to the project to administer the grant however the recipient had to shift funds to their organization after the partner was unable to administer the grant.

Opportunity Summary:
The Science to Applications Technical Support for Conservation Delivery grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00117) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant focused on turning existing conservation science into practical, on-the-ground conservation decisions in the Rocky Mountain corridor. The core purpose is to bridge the gap between research findings and real management action by gathering, organizing, translating, and packaging science products so they can be directly used by conservation planners and practitioners working at landscape scales.
The work described centers on compiling science products developed through multiple agency-led and university-led efforts, especially in three interconnected topic areas: landscape integrity (how intact and resilient natural landscapes are), connectivity (how well habitats are linked so wildlife and ecological processes can move across regions), and climate change impacts and responses (how climate pressures affect systems and what adaptation actions make sense). Rather than producing a single new study, the project is about pulling together what is already known and making it more usable. A key deliverable is the creation of properly scaled GIS data layers, meaning spatial datasets that are consistent, decision-ready, and appropriate for the scale at which partners plan and implement conservation across a large, multi-jurisdictional region. Alongside the data development, the opportunity emphasizes structured discussion and coordination among science-informed conservation experts and practitioners so the compiled information is interpreted consistently and translated into shared priorities.
The practical endpoint of the project is conservation delivery: using the compiled science and GIS layers to prioritize conservation targets and specific actions within collaborative, landscape-scale projects already underway in the Rocky Mountain corridor. In other words, the project is designed to help partners decide where to focus limited resources, which habitats or corridors to emphasize, and which strategies are most defensible given the best available science, particularly under changing climate conditions. The expectation is that better-organized science and accessible spatial products will lead to clearer prioritization and more coordinated implementation across agencies, organizations, and local efforts operating on the ground.
Administratively, this opportunity is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to the Heart of the Rockies Initiative, with one expected award totaling $49,000 (award floor and ceiling are both $49,000). No cost sharing or matching is required. The award is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B(2) Continuation), meaning the funded work is considered necessary to satisfactorily complete, or continue, an already funded activity, and running a new competition would significantly harm continuity or completion. The description also indicates the recipient previously competed for this work under a federal announcement and was selected through that process, but funds needed to be shifted to the recipient organization after a partner became unable to administer the grant.
The posting date is March 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 19, 2014, and an archive date of April 12, 2014. The funding activity categories listed include Information and Statistics, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology/Research and Development, and the CFDA number is 15.670 (Adaptive Science). For access issues or official inquiries, the listed contacts are Yvette Converse (Project Officer) at 406-994-7486 and yvetteconverse@fws.gov, and Jennifer Turkington (Administrative Officer) at jenniferturkington@fws.gov.
