Opportunity Summary:
The USFWS/NPLCC FY14 Funding Announcement (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00023) was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Pacific Region, to support work under the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NPLCC). The basic purpose of the program was to fund projects that directly help implement the NPLCC Science and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (S-TEK) Strategy, with an emphasis on producing information or tools that managers can actually use. In other words, proposals were expected to go beyond general research and clearly spell out a practical management application, such as how the project results would inform planning, conservation actions, adaptation decisions, or on-the-ground resource management.
Projects had to be located within the NPLCC geographic footprint, and they also had to align with specific eligible actions and related objectives identified in the S-TEK Strategy Implementation Plan. The announcement limited eligibility to work tied to Implementation Plan Actions 2.5, 4.2, and 4.4, meaning applicants needed to explicitly connect their proposed methods, outputs, and outcomes to one of those action areas. While the summary text does not list what each action number contains, the intent was clear: proposals needed to be tightly mapped to the NPLCCs established strategy and implementation priorities rather than being open-ended or only loosely connected to NPLCC goals.
Funding was offered through cooperative agreements and grants under CFDA 15.669 (Cooperative Landscape Conservation). The estimated total funding available was $350,000, with an anticipated six awards. Individual awards could be as large as $100,000 (award ceiling), and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). Importantly, there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered barriers for smaller organizations and tribal entities that may not have flexible matching funds.
Eligible applicants included a wide range of governmental and nonprofit entities: federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, state governments, counties, cities or townships, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). This eligibility structure reflects the collaborative nature of Landscape Conservation Cooperatives, which are designed to connect agencies, tribes, academic institutions, and nonprofits around shared landscape-scale conservation problems.
The opportunity was posted on November 18, 2013, and closed on December 19, 2013, with an archive date of January 31, 2014. Programmatically, it fell under environment, natural resources, science and technology, and research and development activity categories, reinforcing that the funded work was expected to generate decision-relevant science and/or Traditional Ecological Knowledge products that support conservation and resource management at landscape scales. For full proposal requirements and the detailed description of Actions 2.5, 4.2, and 4.4, applicants were directed to the associated request for proposals document hosted online. The point of contact listed for assistance was Mary Mahaffy, NPLCC Science Coordinator, reachable by phone at 360-753-7763 or by email at marymahaffy@fws.gov.
