Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Supporting Pueblo of Jemez involvement in Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative" is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) notice of intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to the Pueblo of Jemez Natural Resources Department (NRD). The overall purpose is to keep the Pueblo of Jemez actively involved in the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC), specifically through continued participation on the SRLCC Steering Committee, and to support a structured process for identifying the Pueblo's landscape-level natural resource priorities and scientific information needs. In practical terms, the funding is meant to strengthen Tribal participation in regional conservation planning and ensure that Tribal priorities, including culturally sensitive resources, are reflected in broader landscape conservation strategies.
The work under the agreement is organized around two main tasks. First, the agreement provides capacity support to the NRD so staff can travel to and participate in SRLCC meetings and other mutually agreed SRLCC activities, along with related technical assistance. This is designed to remove common barriers to sustained engagement (such as travel costs) and to make sure the Pueblo of Jemez can consistently contribute to decision-making and coordination at the landscape scale. The expected benefit of this participation is improved collaboration across the SRLCC partnership, allowing agencies, tribes, and other land and water managers to align conservation efforts, develop shared foundational data and tools, reduce duplicated work, and avoid unnecessary conflict among overlapping conservation strategies.
Second, the FWS and the NRD will jointly conduct a workshop focused on the Pueblo of Jemez's priority resources of concern, key data gaps, and scientific information needs relevant to landscape-level planning. The outcome of this workshop is intended to be documented clearly so the SRLCC can better incorporate Tribal interests into its conservation planning, research agenda, and on-the-ground implementation. This documentation is positioned as a practical bridge between local Tribal resource concerns and regional adaptation or conservation initiatives, including strategies aimed at responding to broad stressors like climate change.
This opportunity is explicitly described as a single-source award made under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B(1)) related to "Unique Qualifications." The rationale is that the Pueblo of Jemez, as a federally recognized Tribe, is uniquely qualified to identify issues, data gaps, and management considerations for culturally sensitive resources across both current Tribal lands and ancestral lands. The notice also emphasizes that the Pueblo is the appropriate entity to integrate this information into its own planning strategies and to help the SRLCC develop landscape-level adaptation approaches that account for Tribal resources and values. In other words, the single-source justification is based on the Tribe's distinct authority, knowledge, and relationship to the lands and resources at issue, rather than an open competitive process.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, meaning the project is expected to involve collaboration between the federal agency and the recipient (not just a pass-through grant with minimal federal involvement). The funding opportunity number is F12AS00334 and it is associated with CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation. The estimated total funding is $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $1,000, and the announcement anticipates one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity was posted July 23, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 24, 2012, reflecting that it is a notice of intent for a directed award rather than a standard competitive solicitation. The listing also includes a broad set of eligible applicant types in general, but the text makes clear the intended recipient is the Pueblo of Jemez NRD under the single-source determination. For additional information, the listed contact is Kevin Johnson at the Fish and Wildlife Service (303-236-4404, kevinjohnson@fws.gov).
