Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Supporting Shivwits Band of Paiutes involvement in Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative," is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement intended to strengthen the Shivwits Band of Paiutes role in the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC). The core purpose is to make it easier for the Tribe, through its Land Resources program, to consistently participate in SRLCC coordination and technical discussions so that tribal priorities are meaningfully reflected in broader, landscape-scale conservation planning across the region.
The work described has two main parts. First, the funding provides capacity assistance to Shivwits Band of Paiutes Land Resources to cover travel and participation costs tied to SRLCC meetings and related technical assistance. The idea is that, with those logistical barriers reduced, Land Resources staff can take part in mutually agreed SRLCC activities, contribute local and tribal knowledge, and coordinate directly with other partners. This participation is expected to improve collaboration on large, multi-jurisdictional conservation projects and on the supporting information those projects depend on (such as baseline data, shared assessments, or other foundational planning resources). A stated goal is to help stakeholders and landowners (including tribes, public land agencies, and water and land management entities) align strategies more efficiently while reducing duplication, redundancy, and potential conflict among conservation approaches.
Second, the opportunity funds a jointly conducted workshop between the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Tribe's Land Resources staff. This workshop is meant to identify and document the Tribe's priority natural resources, key concerns, and specific science and information needs, including data gaps. The deliverable is essentially a clearer articulation of tribal research priorities and resource concerns in a way that the SRLCC can use. By formally documenting these needs, the SRLCC is better positioned to incorporate tribal interests into its planning and decision-making processes, including future research agendas and implementation of landscape-level conservation goals.
Administratively, this is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, categorized under Education and Natural Resources (Information and Statistics). The total funding amount is set at $12,000, with an award floor and ceiling both at $12,000, meaning a single award at that fixed amount is anticipated. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Only one award is expected, and the notice indicates the recipient is intended to be the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah to support continued Shivwits Band involvement on the SRLCC Steering Committee and to carry out the science-needs workshop.
The announcement is explicitly a single-source (non-competitive) notice of intent to award, justified under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2.14 B(1) based on "Unique Qualifications." In practical terms, the agency is stating that the applicant is uniquely positioned to do this work due to factors like tribal status and authority, location, ownership or stewardship connections, and specialized capacity or expertise, which makes a competitive process unnecessary for meeting the objectives. The funding opportunity number is F12AS00347. It was posted July 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2012, and an archive date of August 30, 2012. The CFDA program number listed is 15.669 (Cooperative Landscape Conservation). Contact for the announcement is Kevin Johnson, Project Officer, at 303-236-4404 and kevinmjohnson@fws.gov.
