Opportunity Summary:
The "State of Wyoming Geospatial Data Management, Information Sharing and Preparation for Decision Support System Development" opportunity is a discretionary federal grant announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on improving how natural-resource geospatial data are managed and shared across state and federal partners in the northern Rocky Mountain region. The core purpose is to strengthen cross-jurisdiction collaboration and make it easier for agencies to move, combine, and use geospatial information seamlessly across state lines, particularly among Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. The work is positioned as a foundational step toward developing or further maturing a decision support system (DSS) that can serve both state and federal decision-making needs in landscape conservation and related natural resource planning.
This grant is awarded under the legal authority of Section 2 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1950 (64 Stat. 1262), as amended, and it was competed through the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC) program. In practical terms, that means the funding is tied to the Landscape Conservation Cooperative framework, which emphasizes coordinated, science-based approaches to conservation that cross administrative boundaries. The project’s emphasis on geospatial data management and information sharing reflects the idea that conservation decisions depend on consistent datasets, shared standards, and systems that allow partners to access and interpret the same information without unnecessary duplication or incompatibilities.
The announcement indicates the intent to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $130,000. Individual award amounts are described with a ceiling of $60,000 and a floor of $5,000, suggesting that while the broader program total is larger, this specific award was bounded by those limits. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Environment and Natural Resources. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and typically helps speed project initiation. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic), which signals that the work is treated as research- or development-oriented support rather than, for example, construction or formula-based assistance.
Eligibility is presented in a limited way because the notice is effectively a notice of intent to award to the State of Wyoming under the Fish and Wildlife Land Conservation Cooperatives. The listing notes "Others" as eligible applicants but clarifies in the eligibility text that this is specifically a notice of intent to award the agreement to the State of Wyoming, referencing an attached competition and selection process document. In other words, the opportunity was competed within the GNLCC process, but the announcement as posted is essentially documenting the planned award outcome rather than inviting broad, open applications at the time of posting.
The schedule details show that the opportunity was posted on August 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2010, and an archive date of September 16, 2010. Those dates, combined with the notice-of-intent language, reinforce that this was not structured as a long open application window; instead, it appears to be a formal public posting associated with a selection already made through the LCC competition process.
In terms of project substance, the grant is aimed at building partnerships at both the state and federal level and improving the "seamless flow of data across state lines." The specific deliverable focus is on further developing a decision support system by doing the behind-the-scenes work that makes a DSS useful in practice: setting up or improving data management approaches, aligning datasets and standards, and enabling data and information sharing among Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. This kind of work often includes creating shared data models, metadata standards, governance practices for updates and stewardship, and technical pathways for distributing geospatial layers in formats and services that multiple agencies can consume. While the announcement does not list detailed tasks, the stated intent points clearly to interoperability and coordination, which are common prerequisites for effective regional decision support tools.
