Opportunity Summary:
The Tahoe Research Supported by SNPLMA Round 11 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA FS PSW TAHOE 2010) is a discretionary research funding announcement from the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station (PSW). It supports the Tahoe Science Program using funds provided through the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act (SNPLMA). The program is looking for science and technology or other research and development proposals that directly align with the priorities laid out in the official request for proposals (RFP). A central requirement is that every submission must conform to the RFP and address one of the 10 specific subthemes identified there, meaning proposals need to be clearly targeted rather than broad or general Tahoe-related research.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements, with an estimated total program budget of about $3,150,000 and an expected 16 awards. Individual awards can range widely, with a minimum (floor) of $5,000 and a maximum (ceiling) of $800,000, allowing both smaller focused efforts and larger multi-part research projects. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can lower barriers for applicants that do not have non-federal funds available to contribute.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that might have the expertise or management role to conduct Tahoe-related research. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without it, as long as they are not higher education institutions), small businesses, other for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses in that specific category), city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, and Native American tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 10.652 (Forestry Research), indicating a strong connection to forest and land management research even though the activity category is framed broadly as science and technology R&D.
The opportunity was posted on September 3, 2010, with an application closing date of October 27, 2010 (the same as the original closing date). The announcement was set to archive on November 26, 2010. Applicants were directed to consult the full RFP for detailed requirements, and to monitor Grants.gov for updates. The Forest Service noted that a copy of the RFP would also be posted on the PSW website, but the expectation is that applicants rely on the official posting and any amendments issued through the grants portal.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the point of contact listed is Jonathan Long, the Tahoe SNPLMA Science Coordinator, reachable by phone at 775-881-7560 ext. 7482. The most important takeaway for applicants is that this is a targeted Tahoe Science Program competition with defined subthemes, competitive award sizes, no mandatory match, and a wide range of eligible applicant types, but success depends heavily on strict alignment with the RFP structure and the specified Round 11 research subthemes.
