Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "SRLCC Wyoming participation and coordination among State and Federal Partners for landscape conservation activities," is a discretionary grant administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.664 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs). It was posted on September 30, 2011, with an extremely short application window closing on October 1, 2011, and it was archived on October 31, 2011. The announcement functions as a full synopsis and, importantly, is presented as a notice of intent to award rather than a broadly open competition.
The purpose of the award is to provide $20,000 to the State of Wyoming, specifically tied to the Wyoming Interagency Spatial Database and Online Management Decision Support System (DSS) landscape project. The funding is meant to cover practical support costs such as travel and participation expenses for meetings, along with other technical assistance that helps Wyoming state personnel take part in activities coordinated through the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC). In other words, the money is not positioned primarily as research funding or direct on-the-ground habitat work; it is aimed at enabling coordination, participation, and technical alignment between Wyoming and partner agencies working across jurisdictions on landscape conservation planning.
The work described centers on improving how geospatial information is shared and used across state lines and among different agencies. The anticipated outcomes emphasize three closely related areas. First is identifying and prioritizing data integration needs, meaning partners would sort through available geospatial datasets and decide which ones are most important and most feasible to integrate seamlessly across boundaries. Second is assessing geospatial data compatibility, which gets into the technical details behind maps and spatial layers, including the structure of the underlying tabular data, attribute fields, and formatting, with the goal of determining whether similar data layers from different sources can actually line up and be compared or merged reliably. Third is developing or considering data generalization protocols, which addresses how detailed datasets can be simplified or standardized so they remain useful for pilot decision support systems while also supporting broader, multi-state integration across jurisdictions. Taken together, these outcomes point toward making cross-boundary conservation planning more consistent and technically workable, especially where different agencies maintain data in different formats or at different scales.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity lists a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000, matching an award ceiling of $20,000 and an award floor of $1,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is effectively limited because the agency states it is a notice of intent to award the agreement to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department under the Fish and Wildlife Landscape Conservation Cooperatives framework, meaning the recipient is essentially pre-identified in the announcement rather than selected through an open competition.
The stated legal authority for the award is Section 2 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1262), as amended, which is commonly cited as part of the Department of the Interior and FWS administrative authorities. The announcement also notes that the project was competed through the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperatives program, indicating the broader LCC programmatic context under which coordination and landscape-scale conservation planning efforts were being advanced at the time.
