Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC) discretionary funding announcement tied to the CA LCC 2011 program priorities. The project focus is on understanding how future climate conditions and wildfire dynamics could affect threatened species living in fire-prone ecosystems. The work is set up to be conducted by the University of California, Riverside, which will combine several kinds of scientific modeling tools, including fire risk models, species distribution models, and population models. By integrating these approaches with projected future climate scenarios, the project aims to estimate where and how threatened species might be impacted as fire regimes and habitat conditions shift over time. In practical terms, the intended outcome is a more forward-looking assessment that can help conservation planners anticipate risks, identify vulnerable species or habitats, and support landscape-scale management decisions under climate change and increasing wildfire pressures.
Administratively, this is a cooperative agreement (rather than a typical competitive grant) within the natural resources funding category. Only one award is expected, and the estimated total funding amount matches the award ceiling at $99,867 (noted more precisely as $99,867.20 in the eligibility statement). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice makes clear that this is not an open competition and does not involve a standard application process. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source award directly to the University of California, Riverside, justified on the basis that the university team has unique qualifications and technical expertise necessary to carry out the analysis. The single-source justification is referenced as 505 DM 2.14 (B4), indicating an internal policy basis for awarding without competition when specific conditions are met.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on July 13, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, and an archive date of August 26, 2011. The anticipated project start was August 2011, and the expected completion date was December 2012, implying roughly a 16- to 17-month project period for model integration, scenario analysis, and synthesis of results. The funding opportunity number is listed as CALCC 2006, and the title is "University of California, Riverside," reflecting that it is essentially a targeted award notice rather than a broadly available grant solicitation.
