Opportunity Summary:
The USFWS / NPLCC Funding Announcement #2 (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00140) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) focused on natural resources and landscape-scale conservation. It supports work associated with the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NPLCC), a collaborative network intended to help partners coordinate conservation priorities across large geographies and jurisdictions in the North Pacific region. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to fund projects that align with cooperative landscape conservation goals, typically emphasizing partnerships, shared science, and coordinated planning or action that can be applied across agencies, tribes, local governments, and conservation organizations.
Funding is offered through either cooperative agreements or grants, which indicates that awards may involve varying levels of federal involvement depending on the project and instrument selected. The total estimated amount available under this announcement is $400,000, with an expected five awards. Individual awards can be as high as $80,000 (award ceiling), and the stated award floor is $0, meaning proposals could request smaller amounts without a minimum threshold. Importantly, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have access to non-federal match funds.
Eligible applicants are broad and include multiple levels of government and nonprofit and academic entities. Specifically, the opportunity is open to state governments; county governments; city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). This mix of eligible applicants reflects the NPLCC partnership model, where conservation planning and implementation often requires coordination across political boundaries and ownership types.
The announcement timeline shows it was posted on April 4, 2013, with the original and current closing date both set for May 6, 2013, and an archive date of December 31, 2013. The associated CFDA number is 15.669, labeled Cooperative Landscape Conservation, which is the federal assistance listing commonly tied to landscape conservation cooperative work and related applied conservation science.
