Opportunity Summary:
The North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NPLCC) grant opportunity is a discretionary research funding program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Pacific Region, to support science and information projects that strengthen landscape-scale conservation planning in the North Pacific region. The focus is on building practical, decision-relevant knowledge and tools that help managers understand and respond to climate change impacts on habitats, ecosystems, and species across the NPLCC geography. In general terms, the program is looking for projects that organize and improve access to key conservation data, develop or refine analytical approaches for interpreting climate-related change, and translate climate model outputs into actionable vulnerability and planning insights.
Projects must address one or more priority elements tied directly to climate adaptation and landscape conservation needs. These priorities include efforts to integrate and manage data at scale, such as coordinating, recovering, compiling, synthesizing, and archiving datasets needed for broad conservation analyses. Another emphasis is improving the availability and usability of geospatial and baseline datasets, including creating or enhancing analytical interfaces that make it easier to explore climate change effects on ecosystems and habitats across the NPLCC region. The opportunity also encourages forward-looking assessments that identify future biodiversity hotspots and critical connectivity needs, helping conservation partners anticipate where species and ecological communities may persist, shift, or become isolated as conditions change.
In addition, the NPLCC is seeking information that directly improves understanding of climate change effects on species assemblages, habitats, and ecosystems in ways that support effective conservation delivery. This includes research and synthesis that can be applied by agencies and partners to prioritize actions, target investments, and coordinate across jurisdictions. A final major priority area is applying downscaled climate change model outputs to vulnerability assessments of priority ecological or landscape resources, meaning proposals can focus on translating climate projections into concrete measures of risk, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity for resources that the NPLCC considers important.
The award instrument is a grant under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). The anticipated number of awards is three, with an estimated total funding amount of $650,000. Individual awards are expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $100,000. Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, indicating that proposals are generally open to any type of applicant, subject to any clarifications provided in the official guidelines.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on April 25, 2011, with an application deadline of May 3, 2011 (original and current closing date both listed as May 3, 2011). The opportunity was archived on June 2, 2011, indicating it was specific to that funding cycle (FY2011). Applicants were directed to consult the NPLCC website for the map of the cooperative boundary, detailed funding guidelines, proposal instructions, evaluation criteria, and the required proposal template. Proposals were required to be submitted electronically to nplcc@fws.gov and converted to PDF prior to submission.
