Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00142) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Pacific Southwest Region funding action to support a specific technical project under the Refuges Inventory and Monitoring Initiative (Region 8 IM). The work is structured as a CESU task order and would be issued as a cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources activity area. The overall purpose is to carry out tasks tied to the Region 8 IM 2012 program priorities, with a focus on understanding how climate change may affect water management on National Wildlife Refuges and how water availability could constrain current and planned habitat management goals.
The project is designed around collaboration between USFWS Region 8 IM and the University of California, Davis Information Center for the Environment (UCD ICE). UCD ICE is expected to evaluate climate change impacts on refuge water management and help identify water resource constraints affecting habitat objectives. A central technical tool for this effort is the Basin Characterization Model (BCM), which is commonly used to relate climate, hydrology, and watershed characteristics in ways that can inform resource planning. In practical terms, the project aims to translate climate-driven hydrologic insights into usable information for refuge managers who need to make decisions about water-dependent habitats, operations, and longer-term planning under changing conditions.
Funding is set at a total of $25,000, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $25,000, indicating a single fixed funding amount for the one anticipated award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity lists eligibility as private institutions of higher education, but the notice states the USFWS intends to make a single-source award to UC Davis ICE specifically. The justification provided is that UCD ICE staff have unique qualifications and technical expertise necessary to perform the work, which is why the agency is issuing a notice of intent to award without competition rather than running an open, competitive solicitation.
The anticipated project timeline starts in June 2012 and is expected to conclude by September 2014. The opportunity was posted and created on April 24, 2012, with an archive date of May 24, 2012. The closing date is described as a notice of intent to award without competition, reinforcing that this is not a standard open application cycle but a formal public notice accompanying a planned noncompetitive agreement.
For official details, the announcement points to Grants.gov as the additional information link. The listed point of contact for access issues is Rita Howard, Grants and Agreements Technician, reachable at 916-278-9443 or via email at RitaHoward@fws.gov.
