Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Notice of Intent to award a single cooperative agreement to University Enterprises, Inc. (UEI). The effort supports the creation and early operations of the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC), a partnership being built by USFWS along with other key collaborators such as the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of California. The basic idea behind the CA LCC is to connect scientific research with on-the-ground natural resource management so agencies and partners can respond more effectively to large-scale conservation challenges, especially those influenced by climate change.
A central emphasis of the proposed cooperative agreement is education, outreach, and communication. The CA LCC is meant to function as a bridge between disciplines, and that bridge is not only technical but also practical: it requires translating science into management actions and making the information accessible to a broad range of audiences. Through this award, USFWS intends to support a coordinated set of research, education, and outreach activities that help establish the CA LCC while also advancing the missions of each participating organization. An explicit public-facing outcome is increased awareness of climate change impacts and improved understanding of the science that informs landscape-scale conservation.
UEI is identified as the intended recipient because it is viewed as uniquely positioned to help stand up the CA LCC. UEI is a nonprofit auxiliary associated with California State University, Sacramento, and the announcement indicates that its structure and capabilities make it well-suited to support the combination of research support, educational programming, and outreach logistics needed during the cooperative's establishment phase. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), it typically signals that USFWS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or implementation as the work proceeds.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity in the Natural Resources activity category, tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The opportunity anticipated exactly one award with total funding of $108,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $108,000, which effectively sets the award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity was posted and created on August 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2010, and an archive date of September 29, 2010. The anticipated period of performance was expected to run through July 1, 2015.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education, which aligns with UEI’s nonprofit auxiliary status. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Dwight (Ike) Luginbill, Grants/Agreements Assistant at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 209-946-6400 x340.
