Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "SRLCC and connectivity of habitats on Navajo Nations Lands" is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding announcement structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.664 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs). The project sits in the Environment and Natural Resources category and is aimed at understanding and planning for how wildlife habitat connectivity on the Navajo Nation, and nearby surrounding lands, may change under different future environmental and development conditions. The announcement is essentially a notice of intent to make a single award, meaning it is not a broad competitive solicitation. It identifies the intended recipient as Erica Fleishman through the Californian Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit, and it anticipates one award.
The central purpose of the work is to support tribal and resource-management decision making by producing practical, defensible analyses and decision-support products focused on connectivity. The recipient is expected to provide overall project oversight and to actively engage local and tribal stakeholders throughout the entire process, rather than only presenting results at the end. A major emphasis is placed on iterative communication: sharing drafts of deliverables, discussing them with tribal end users, and refining products based on feedback so that the final outputs are usable for on-the-ground management and planning.
From a technical standpoint, the project calls for a quantitative assessment of how multiple species may move across the landscape using multiple potential pathways, under scenarios that are both spatially explicit (tied to actual mapped locations) and temporally explicit (reflecting change through time). The analysis is expected to incorporate environmental change in a forward-looking way, not simply describe current conditions. To make the work clear and actionable, the recipient must develop graphical conceptual models and results chains, along with narratives that explain them. These conceptual models are intended to identify key management targets (the wildlife species and habitats of interest), the direct drivers affecting them (human or natural stressors or threats that immediately influence habitat condition or connectivity), and the indirect drivers (the deeper, underlying causes that shape the direct drivers).
A major component of the scope is scenario development in collaboration with tribal staff and other stakeholders. The scenarios specifically include plausible futures related to energy development, expansion of transportation infrastructure, recreation growth, and other land-use changes, alongside climate-related change. The recipient will then project how these alternative futures could influence connectivity for focal wildlife species and their habitats. The expectation is that scenario inputs and outputs will be mapped and time-referenced where appropriate, and that uncertainty will be addressed directly. Where feasible, the project will quantify confidence intervals or otherwise describe uncertainty so that decision makers can understand how much weight to place on particular results and where information gaps remain.
In terms of funding details, the total estimated funding is $99,875, with an award ceiling of $99,875 and an award floor of $43,120. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date was September 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 29, 2011, and an archive date of October 29, 2011. A grants management contact is provided for access issues: Andrea Meyer, Grants Management Specialist (phone 303-236-5412).

Is this a competitive grant solicitation open to many applicants?
No. The announcement is essentially a notice of intent to make a single award, meaning it is not a broad competitive solicitation.
Who is the intended recipient for this award?
The intended recipient identified in the announcement is Erica Fleishman through the Californian Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit.
How many awards does the announcement anticipate?
The announcement anticipates one award.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The main purpose is to support tribal and resource-management decision making by producing practical, defensible analyses and decision-support products focused on wildlife habitat connectivity on the Navajo Nation and nearby surrounding lands, under different future environmental and development conditions.
What does the project mean by "connectivity" in this context?
Based on the announcement, connectivity refers to how multiple species may move across the landscape using multiple potential pathways, and how those movement pathways may change under alternative future scenarios.
What kinds of analyses are expected?
The project calls for a quantitative assessment of how multiple species may move across the landscape using multiple potential pathways, under scenarios that are spatially explicit (tied to mapped locations) and temporally explicit (reflecting change through time).
Does the project focus only on current conditions?
No. The analysis is expected to incorporate environmental change in a forward-looking way, not simply describe current conditions.
What are "spatially explicit" and "temporally explicit" scenarios?
As described in the announcement, spatially explicit scenarios are tied to actual mapped locations, and temporally explicit scenarios reflect change through time.
What kinds of future changes should the scenarios include?
The scenarios are to include plausible futures related to energy development, expansion of transportation infrastructure, recreation growth, and other land-use changes, alongside climate-related change.
How are scenarios supposed to be developed?
Scenario development is a major component of the scope and is to be conducted in collaboration with tribal staff and other stakeholders.
What is expected regarding stakeholder engagement?
The recipient is expected to actively engage local and tribal stakeholders throughout the entire process, not only at the end. The announcement emphasizes iterative communication, including sharing drafts of deliverables, discussing them with tribal end users, and refining products based on feedback so final outputs are usable for on-the-ground management and planning.
What deliverable formats are specifically mentioned?
The announcement specifies development of graphical conceptual models and results chains, along with narratives that explain them.
What should the conceptual models identify?
They are intended to identify key management targets (the wildlife species and habitats of interest), direct drivers affecting them (human or natural stressors or threats that immediately influence habitat condition or connectivity), and indirect drivers (underlying causes that shape the direct drivers).
What are "direct drivers" and "indirect drivers" in the announcement?
Direct drivers are described as human or natural stressors or threats that immediately influence habitat condition or connectivity. Indirect drivers are described as deeper, underlying causes that shape the direct drivers.
Are mapping products expected?
Yes. The expectation is that scenario inputs and outputs will be mapped and time-referenced where appropriate.
How should uncertainty be handled in the analysis?
Uncertainty is expected to be addressed directly. Where feasible, the project will quantify confidence intervals or otherwise describe uncertainty so decision makers understand how much weight to place on particular results and where information gaps remain.
What is the estimated total funding amount?
The total estimated funding is $99,875.
What is the award ceiling?
The award ceiling is $99,875.
What is the award floor?
The award floor is $43,120.

What is the geographic focus of the work?
The work focuses on wildlife habitat connectivity on the Navajo Nation and nearby surrounding lands.
What is emphasized to ensure outputs are usable for management and planning?
The announcement emphasizes producing practical, defensible analyses and decision-support products, and using iterative communication with tribal end users, including review of draft deliverables and refinement based on feedback.
