Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "SRLCC Colorado participation and coordination among State and Federal Partners for landscape conservation activities" is a discretionary grant released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC) program. It is essentially a notice of intent to make a single award to support Colorado's involvement in coordinated, multi-partner landscape conservation and water-related planning work connected to the Colorado River Basin Study and the Colorado-New Mexico decision support system (DSS) landscape projects. The announcement indicates that this synopsis serves as the full announcement and that the project was competed through the SRLCC program, with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources identified as the intended recipient under the Fish and Wildlife Land Conservation Cooperatives framework.
The funding level is relatively small but targeted: the estimated total funding and award ceiling are both $20,000, with an award floor of $1,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The purpose of the funding is practical and capacity-focused rather than construction- or research-heavy. Specifically, the $20,000 is intended to cover salary support and related technical assistance so that State of Colorado personnel can attend meetings, coordinate with partners, and participate in mutually agreed upon SRLCC activities. In other words, the grant is designed to ensure Colorado has dedicated staff time to engage in cross-jurisdictional planning and technical coordination that supports broader landscape conservation and water supply resilience efforts.
The work supported by the agreement centers on several anticipated outcomes tied to water supply challenges in the Colorado River system and to the technical foundations needed for interstate decision-support tools. One expected outcome is an assessment of existing Colorado River infrastructure and an evaluation of how capable that infrastructure is under present and future water supply stressors. Another outcome is the identification of possible solutions to address water demand and supply gaps, including measures such as water conservation strategies, potential changes in reservoir operations, desalination concepts, and other water supply augmentation approaches. These topics point to a planning and options-analysis orientation, intended to help partners understand what can be adjusted operationally or technologically to cope with constrained water availability.
A major portion of the described outcomes focuses on geospatial data coordination, reflecting the practical reality that interstate landscape and water planning depends on compatible datasets. The announcement highlights the need to identify and prioritize geospatial datasets that are best suited for seamless integration across state lines. It also calls for examining geospatial data compatibility in more detail, including reviewing underlying tabular data structures, attribute fields, formats, and related metadata to determine whether similar data layers from different jurisdictions can be aligned or reconciled. In addition, the opportunity emphasizes data generalization protocols, meaning the development or consideration of approaches for simplifying or standardizing datasets so they can support pilot DSS tools while still being consistent enough to integrate across state boundaries and across different levels of government.
From an administrative standpoint, this award is made under the authority of Section 2 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1262), as amended, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs. The posting date and creation date were October 4, 2011, with an extremely short application window: the original and current closing date are both October 5, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on November 4, 2011. The listing anticipates one award. While the eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others (see text field...)," the eligibility narrative clarifies that this is a notice of intent to award to the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, referencing an attached competition and selection process document.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a small, targeted coordination grant meant to keep Colorado fully engaged in SRLCC-related, multi-state conservation and water planning efforts. It supports staff participation and technical coordination aimed at (1) evaluating Colorado River infrastructure and its performance under water supply challenges, (2) surfacing and comparing demand-management and supply augmentation options, and (3) improving the interoperability of geospatial datasets needed for cross-border decision support systems. For access or administrative questions, the listed contact is Andrea Meyer, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-236-5412.
