Opportunity Summary:
The USFWS (SALCC) South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R4 11 002) was a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs. It was designed to fund applied conservation science projects that help partners make better, more coordinated natural and cultural resource decisions at a landscape scale. Rather than focusing on one site or one organization, the program sits within the national network of Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), which bring together federal agencies, state agencies, tribes, universities, nongovernmental organizations, and other regional partners to tackle shared conservation problems that cross boundaries and jurisdictions.
The core purpose of the SALCC is to generate science and decision-support that resource managers can use across large, connected landscapes, especially where stressors interact and compound. The opportunity emphasizes major landscape-scale challenges such as climate change, habitat fragmentation, invasive species, and water scarcity. In practical terms, proposals were expected to align with high-priority science needs identified by the SALCC for FY2011 and to support a broader vision of sustaining healthy populations of fish, wildlife, and plants, while also considering cultural resources. The geographic footprint covered by the SALCC spans six states, running from southern Virginia down through northern Florida, so projects were intended to be relevant to that multi-state region and to benefit multiple partners rather than a single isolated interest.
Funding for this solicitation was limited and competitive. The estimated total funding available was $300,000, with an anticipated five awards. The listed award ceiling was $300,000 and the award floor was $0, meaning awards could vary widely depending on project scope, though the overall pool for all awards combined was capped at the total amount. No cost sharing or matching was required, which lowered barriers for applicants who might not have access to non-federal match and encouraged participation from a broad range of organizations and individuals.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement under additional eligibility information. The solicitation explicitly encouraged broad participation from groups and individuals concerned with natural and cultural resource issues in the South Atlantic region. Applicants were required to submit standard federal assistance forms with their proposals, specifically SF-424, SF-424A, and SF-424B, indicating the program followed typical federal grant application and compliance conventions.
The timeline for this particular FY2011 announcement was short: it was posted on April 7, 2011 (created April 11, 2011), and the application deadline was April 18, 2011, with the opportunity later archived on May 18, 2011. Additional details and priority lists were referenced through the SALCC website link included in the announcement. For applicant support, the listed contact was Kevin Brooks, Grants Management Specialist (phone 404-679-4069), with guidance offered for those who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
