Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a discretionary U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) funding action under the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC), tied specifically to the CA LCC 2011 program priorities. It is structured as a cooperative agreement in the natural resources category and is focused on a conservation science project in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreational Area. The core purpose is to improve conservation prioritization by identifying locations that contain high intraspecific variation (variation within a species), which can be important for resilience and adaptation, especially under changing climate conditions.
The project work described is to be carried out by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). UCLA will integrate existing datasets on intraspecific variation for multiple species with climate datasets and measured environmental variables. By combining biological variation data with climate and environmental context, the project aims to map or otherwise pinpoint areas where within-species diversity is especially high. Those outputs are intended to help land managers and conservation planners target protections or management actions toward places that may better sustain biodiversity over time.
A key administrative detail is that this is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. The notice states there is no application process because USFWS is issuing a notice of intent to make a single-source award to UCLA. The rationale provided is that UCLA staff have unique qualifications and technical expertise necessary to perform the analysis. The single-source justification is cited as 505 DM 2.14 (B4), indicating the agency is relying on an allowable noncompetitive procurement/assistance rationale due to unique capabilities.
Funding details are straightforward: the estimated total funding is 82,190 USD, and the award ceiling is also 82,190 USD, indicating the full amount anticipated for the single award. Only one award is expected, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on July 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2011, and an archive date of August 28, 2011. The anticipated project start date is August 2011, and the expected completion date is December 2012, giving an implementation window of roughly 16 months.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants: Others" category, the accompanying eligibility statement clarifies that the award is intended specifically for UCLA and that there is no application process for other entities. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Rebecca Fris, Science Coordinator, at 916-278-9415.
