Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Statistical Support for Inventory and Monitoring Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00020) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). Its purpose is to fund specialized biostatistical support that strengthens how inventory and monitoring work is designed, analyzed, and reported, particularly for biological and ecological monitoring efforts where sound statistical methods are essential for producing reliable conclusions.
Under this award, the University of Wyoming (UWY) Department of Statistics is positioned to serve as the statistical support provider, drawing on expertise from tenured and tenure-track faculty, adjunct faculty, and advanced trainees such as graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. The project is led by Dr. Robinson as the principal investigator. The intent is not simply to run analyses after data are collected, but to offer consultation across the full lifecycle of monitoring and research projects so that decisions about sampling and study structure are defensible from the start and results are interpreted correctly at the end.
The work described centers on providing on-demand statistical consulting to address specific problems that arise in inventory and monitoring initiatives. Support can include identifying or reviewing study designs, advising on preliminary sampling approaches, and helping determine appropriate sample sizes so projects have enough statistical power to detect meaningful patterns or changes. It also covers broader planning support, guidance during project implementation, and assistance with data analysis and write-ups. A notable deliverable is review of reports or manuscripts, with an emphasis on whether the statistical methods were applied appropriately and whether conclusions match what the data can legitimately support.
The Fish and Wildlife Service plays a key role by supplying the project-specific context needed for good consultation. For each request, FWS will provide the goals and objectives, available data, project plans, and an understanding of Service resources and constraints. That information is meant to help UWY tailor the statistical advice to real-world operational needs, ensuring that recommendations are practical as well as technically sound, and that monitoring designs and analyses align with FWS priorities.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under CFDA 15.655 and anticipates a single award with an estimated maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $95,114. The posting and creation dates were October 29, 2015, with a closing date of November 5, 2015. The eligibility field is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, which is consistent with opportunities that are narrowly targeted or intended for a specific partner arrangement under a cooperative agreement structure.
