Opportunity Summary:
The "Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Cooperative Landscape Conservation" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00119) was a discretionary federal grant announcement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation. It focused on soliciting project ideas for potential funding during the 2013 cycle from the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Landscape Conservation Cooperative (UMGL LCC). The basic purpose of the program was to generate and support applied science and related products that reduce key scientific uncertainties and, in turn, help agencies and partners make better conservation decisions across the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region.
At its core, the UMGL LCC framed this call around landscape-scale conservation challenges, meaning projects were expected to be relevant beyond a single site and to inform management actions across broader geographies, jurisdictions, or ecosystems. The emphasis was on producing information that can be used in real-world conservation planning and implementation, especially where uncertainty is limiting effective action. While the brief synopsis does not list specific priority topics, the LCC model typically supports efforts such as decision-support tools, vulnerability or risk assessments, scenario planning, monitoring frameworks, data synthesis, and other science products that help partners address issues like habitat change, climate impacts, and other large-scale stressors.
The opportunity was open eligibility ("unrestricted"), meaning any type of applicant could propose a project, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement on Grants.gov. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, so proposals did not need to include non-federal match as a condition of eligibility. The total estimated funding available for the competition was listed as $900,000. The notice did not specify an award floor or ceiling (both shown as 0), which usually means the funding office did not commit in advance to a specific minimum or maximum per award in the summarized listing and applicants needed to consult the full announcement for any practical limits or expectations.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on March 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2013, indicating a relatively short submission window. The record shows an archive date of December 31, 2014, meaning it was no longer active after that point. The official agency point of contact for access issues and questions was Paul Glander (phone 612-713-5134; email paulglander@fws.gov). Additional details and application instructions were provided through Grants.gov, and background information on Landscape Conservation Cooperatives and the UMGL LCC was referenced through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service climate change page and the UMGL LCC website.
