Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Surveying Sensitive Plant Species - Grahams - White River Penstemon" is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding announcement focused on field surveys and reporting for a sensitive, federally managed plant species in Utah. It is issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to be carried out in coordination with the agency rather than as a simple purchase of services. The program is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA 15.657, "Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds," which supports practical, on-the-ground actions that inform conservation and recovery efforts for listed or at-risk species.
The scope of work is straightforward and field-oriented. The recipient is expected to conduct surveys for Graham's penstemon in specific areas designated by the USFWS Utah Field Office. These surveys are intended to document occurrences and support management decisions, which typically means locating plants, mapping populations, and collecting observational data relevant to the species presence and distribution. After completing the fieldwork, the recipient must produce a summary report of the survey results and deliver electronic spatial data, specifically GPS and/or GIS files, to the Utah Field Office. In practice, this implies the final deliverables include both a written report describing what was found and where, and a digital dataset that can be integrated into agency mapping and species tracking systems.
Funding details indicate a small, targeted project rather than a large multi-year effort. The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $20,000, with an award floor of $5,000 and an award ceiling of $50,000, and the agency anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The posting date was May 20, 2011, with an original closing date of May 21, 2011, later adjusted to May 22, 2011, and an archive date of June 21, 2011, indicating a very short application window and a time-sensitive intent.
Eligibility is limited in a way that signals this was not a broadly competed opportunity. While the eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," the eligibility narrative clarifies that this notice serves as an intent to award the agreement to the University of Utah - Red Butte Garden under the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU). CESU agreements are commonly used by federal agencies to partner with universities and other research institutions for conservation science and applied resource management projects, which aligns with the survey-and-report nature of this work.
For administrative or technical issues accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Andrea Meyer, a Grants Management Specialist, with a phone number of 303-236-5412, and an email field indicated but not fully provided in the text. Overall, the announcement describes a single-award cooperative effort to locate and document Graham's penstemon in agency-identified survey areas and to deliver both a written summary and GIS-ready spatial data to support endangered species conservation planning and recovery implementation.
