Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "SRLCC Strategic Synthesis for the Delivery of Conservation Science" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00191) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding announcement that will be awarded as a cooperative agreement. It sits within the Environment and Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation. In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at supporting a project that helps translate and synthesize conservation science into usable, decision-relevant products for landscape-scale conservation efforts tied to the SRLCC (South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative, based on the acronym). The announcement itself points applicants to an attached statement of interest/statement of work for the full scope, which suggests the core expectation is not just generating new research, but organizing, integrating, and delivering existing or emerging science in a way that directly supports conservation planning and on-the-ground management.
Funding is relatively focused and competitive: the agency anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling is also $100,000, meaning the top-end budget is capped at that level, while the award floor is listed as $1,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute. The opportunity was originally posted June 1, 2012 (with a creation date of June 7, 2012) and had an application deadline of June 28, 2012, with an archive date of July 28, 2012. Even though these dates are historical, they frame how the program was structured: a short turnaround, a single award, and a clearly defined deliverable-oriented effort.
Eligibility is described as limited to entities designated by the authorizing legislation, and the listing of eligible applicant types is broad on its face, spanning federal agencies, state and local governments, interstate entities, public and private nonprofit institutions (including universities and hospitals), federally recognized tribal governments, individuals/families, and for-profit organizations. However, the note about legislative designation is important because it can narrow who can actually apply regardless of the broad category list. In other words, the formal eligible types are expansive, but applicants would need to confirm they fall within the specifically authorized entity or entities referenced by the underlying statute or program authority.
Applications are evaluated using three stated criteria: Significance, Approach, and Feasibility. Significance focuses on the degree to which the proposed project would make an original and important contribution to the Fish and Wildlife Service mission and provide value to the public if successfully carried out. This emphasizes mission alignment and real-world impact, not just academic merit. Approach assesses whether the concept, design, methods, analyses, and any technologies are well developed, integrated, and appropriate to the project aims, which signals reviewers will look for a clear plan for how the synthesis will be performed and how the resulting products will be delivered and used. Feasibility addresses whether the work can realistically be completed within the proposed budget and with the proposed staff, given their expertise, track record, available resources, and organizational commitment; it also explicitly asks reviewers to note unusually high or low cost effectiveness, so budgets that are either inflated or implausibly lean may draw scrutiny.
For questions, the announcement directs all inquiries to be submitted in writing to Kevin Johnson at kevinmjohnson@fws.gov, and it specifies that the opportunity number must be included in the email subject line. A phone contact is also provided for access issues with the full announcement: Kevin Johnson, Project Officer, 303-236-4404. Overall, the opportunity is designed for a tightly scoped, single-award project that strengthens the delivery of conservation science through strategic synthesis, with selection hinging on demonstrated mission impact, a solid and integrated technical plan, and a credible, cost-effective path to completion.
