Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC) funded project that supports natural resources work aligned with the CA LCC 2011 program priorities. The project is titled "University of California, Berkeley" and is structured as a cooperative agreement, with USFWS planning to make one award. The overall focus is applied conservation science for the Sierra Nevada, aimed at improving how agencies and partners understand and plan for climate-driven changes in wildlife populations and habitats.
The work to be completed by the University of California, Berkeley centers on identifying climate change refugia and evaluating population connectivity across the Sierra Nevada using a combination of advanced analytical approaches. The project description indicates three main technical components: species distribution modeling to predict where suitable habitat exists or may persist under changing climate conditions; population genetics to assess how populations are related, how much gene flow occurs among them, and where barriers or corridors may exist; and geospatial analysis comparing historical versus modern vertebrate population patterns to understand shifts over time. Together, these methods are intended to highlight areas likely to remain comparatively stable for species as the climate changes (refugia) and to map connections among populations that are important for long-term persistence, movement, and adaptation.
A key administrative detail is that this is not a competitive funding opportunity with an open application process. Instead, the notice functions as an "intent to award" announcement for a single-source agreement to UC Berkeley. USFWS states the rationale for a sole-source award is the university staff's unique qualifications and technical expertise necessary to carry out the specialized analyses. The eligibility section reinforces that there is no application process for this specific project and that the award is justified under an internal policy reference (505 DM 2.14 (B4)), which is commonly used for non-competitive awards when specific capabilities or expertise are required.
In terms of timing, the anticipated start date for the project is August 2011, with an expected completion date of December 2013. The opportunity was posted July 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, and it was later archived on August 26, 2011. The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $127,218 and an award ceiling of $127,218; however, the eligibility narrative also references a single-source agreement amount of $80,513.90. That difference suggests either that multiple funding figures were recorded at different stages (such as an early estimate versus a finalized obligation) or that the listing combines program-level totals with a specific award action; the notice itself does not explain the discrepancy beyond presenting both values.
Other notable details include that cost sharing or matching is not required, the funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the expected number of awards is one. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the contact person listed is Rebecca Fris, Science Coordinator, reachable by phone at 916-278-9414.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this grant opportunity?
This is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC) funded project supporting natural resources work aligned with the CA LCC 2011 program priorities. The project is titled "University of California, Berkeley" and is structured as a cooperative agreement.
Who is the funding agency?
The funding agency is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), through the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC).
What is the project focus?
The project focuses on applied conservation science for the Sierra Nevada. The intent is to improve how agencies and partners understand and plan for climate-driven changes in wildlife populations and habitats.
What work is being supported under this project?
The work centers on identifying climate change refugia and evaluating population connectivity across the Sierra Nevada. The project uses advanced analytical approaches to determine where suitable habitat may persist under climate change and how wildlife populations are connected across the landscape.
What are the main technical components described in the announcement?
The description identifies three main technical components:
- Species distribution modeling to predict where suitable habitat exists now and where it may persist under changing climate conditions.
- Population genetics to assess relationships among populations, levels of gene flow, and where barriers or corridors may exist.
- Geospatial analysis comparing historical versus modern vertebrate population patterns to understand how patterns have shifted over time.
What are "climate change refugia" in the context of this project?
In this project context, climate change refugia are areas likely to remain comparatively stable for species as the climate changes. The analyses are intended to highlight these areas as places where suitable conditions may persist longer than surrounding areas.
What does "population connectivity" mean in this announcement?
Population connectivity refers to how populations are linked across the landscape through movement and gene flow. The project aims to map connections among populations that are important for long-term persistence, movement, and adaptation.
Is this an open, competitive grant that anyone can apply for?
No. The announcement states this is not a competitive funding opportunity with an open application process. It functions as an "intent to award" notice for a single-source cooperative agreement to the University of California, Berkeley.
Who is the intended recipient of the award?
The intended recipient is the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley).
How many awards does USFWS plan to make under this announcement?
The announcement indicates USFWS plans to make one award.
Why is the award being made as a sole-source (non-competitive) agreement?
USFWS states the sole-source rationale is based on the university staff's unique qualifications and technical expertise needed to carry out the specialized analyses described in the project.
Does the eligibility section allow other organizations to apply?
No. The eligibility narrative reinforces that there is no application process for this specific project and that it is a single-source action.
What policy reference is cited to justify the non-competitive award?
The notice references an internal policy citation: 505 DM 2.14 (B4), described as being used for non-competitive awards when specific capabilities or expertise are required.
What type of award instrument is planned?
The project is structured as a cooperative agreement.
What is the funding activity category?
The funding activity category listed is Natural Resources.
What is the estimated funding amount for this opportunity?
The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $127,218, and it also lists an award ceiling of $127,218.
Why are there two different funding figures mentioned?
The eligibility narrative also references a single-source agreement amount of $80,513.90. The notice does not explain the discrepancy beyond presenting both values; it may reflect different stages of budgeting or recording (for example, an early estimate versus a later obligation), or it may reflect different totals being reported in different parts of the listing.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The announcement states that cost sharing or matching is not required.
When was this opportunity posted and when did it close?
The opportunity was posted on July 13, 2011. The original closing date and the current closing date are both listed as July 27, 2011.

What is the anticipated project period?
The anticipated start date is August 2011, and the expected completion date is December 2013.
Who is the contact person for questions about the announcement?
The listed contact is Rebecca Fris, Science Coordinator.
What phone number is provided for the contact person?
The contact phone number listed is 916-278-9414.
What should someone do if they have difficulty accessing the full announcement?
The announcement indicates that questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement should be directed to the listed contact person, Rebecca Fris, Science Coordinator, at 916-278-9414.
