Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "SRLCC Utah participation and coordination among State and Federal Partners for landscape conservation activities," is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs). It was issued under the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC) program and is essentially a notice of intent to award an agreement to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The announcement indicates that the project was competed through the SRLCC program’s competition and selection process, but the intended recipient for this specific award is Utah’s state wildlife agency.
The core purpose of the award is to fund Utah’s participation and coordination work with state and federal partners on landscape-scale conservation activities, tied specifically to the Arizona-Utah DSS (decision support system) landscape project. The SRLCC is providing $20,000 to the State of Utah to help cover salary costs associated with attending meetings and delivering technical assistance. In practical terms, the funding is meant to make sure Utah staff have dedicated time and support to engage in jointly agreed SRLCC activities, rather than treating coordination and cross-jurisdiction technical work as unfunded add-ons to regular duties.
The work described is heavily focused on geospatial data collaboration across state lines and jurisdictions, with an emphasis on building the groundwork needed for multi-state decision support tools. One expected outcome is clarifying "data integration needs," meaning Utah and its partners would identify and prioritize which geospatial datasets are most important and most feasible for seamless integration across boundaries. Another expected outcome is evaluating "geospatial data compatibility potential." That involves looking under the hood of existing datasets to compare tabular structures, attribute fields, formats, and other schema details, and then assessing whether similar layers from different sources can realistically be aligned or merged without losing meaning or introducing errors. A third expected outcome is developing or refining "data generalization protocols," which is about determining how to simplify or standardize datasets so they can serve pilot DSS efforts while also supporting broader cross-state and cross-jurisdiction integration. This kind of generalization often matters when datasets vary in scale, resolution, or collection methods, and a DSS needs consistent inputs to produce credible comparisons and map products.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources and uses a grant as the funding instrument. It lists an expected number of awards as one, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding totals in the source record show an estimated total funding level of $40,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and an award floor of $1,000, though the narrative description specifies a $20,000 provision to Utah for the Arizona-Utah DSS-related participation and technical coordination. The legal authority cited for awarding the agreement is Section 2 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1262), as amended.
Timing details in the record indicate the opportunity was posted on Oct 12, 2011, with an original and current closing date of Oct 13, 2011, and an archive date of Nov 12, 2011. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Andrea Meyer, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-236-5412.
