Opportunity Summary:
The "State of Idaho Transboundary Decision Support System for Conservation, Land Use, Energy, Transportation, and Climate Change" grant opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary grant focused on building a practical decision-support tool that helps agencies, planners, and the public make better-informed choices about development and conservation across landscapes that extend beyond political boundaries. The core purpose of the project is to create a consistent, reliable set of mapped biological information that can be used to identify and understand crucial wildlife habitats and movement corridors, then apply that information to real-world decisions involving energy development, land use planning, transportation projects, and responses to climate change.
This effort is described as a combined project bringing together two State of Idaho pilot initiatives that were originally started and funded by the Western Governors Association (WGA) to develop a Decision Support System (DSS). By merging these pilots into one coordinated project, the goal is to produce a more unified and broadly usable mapping and information framework rather than separate, fragmented tools. The "transboundary" framing signals that the information is intended to be useful across jurisdictional lines (for example, across county, state, tribal, or federal land boundaries), reflecting how wildlife habitats and corridors function in reality.
Administratively, the award is being made under the authority of Section 2 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1262), as amended, and the project was competed through the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperatives program. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "FWS R6 LCCIDAHO" and is categorized under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area. The CFDA number listed is 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic), which indicates the award supports research or research-like work products, such as data compilation, mapping, and decision-support frameworks, rather than construction or direct implementation on the ground.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding for the announcement is $205,000, with an award ceiling of $135,000 and an award floor of $5,000. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the Eligible Applicants field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility information provided makes clear this is a notice of intent to award to the State of Idaho under the Fish and Wildlife Land Conservation Cooperatives, and it references an attached competition and selection process document for the specific process used.
The timeline information reflects that this is an archived opportunity from 2010. It was posted on August 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2010, and it was archived on September 15, 2010 (the record also shows a later "CreationDate" of February 22, 2011, which is likely related to when the entry was created or updated in the system rather than when applications were due). Practically speaking, this means the announcement describes a past, time-limited funding action rather than an open competition today.
For access or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Yvette Converse at the Fish and Wildlife Service, phone 303-236-4332, with a note indicating assistance is available if the announcement cannot be accessed electronically.
