Opportunity Summary:
The Utah Prairie Dog Recovery Implementation Coordinator grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 ES10UT002) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It was designed to fund a one-year term position whose primary role is to coordinate early implementation of the Utah Prairie Dog Recovery and Implementation Program Document. In practical terms, the grant supports staffing capacity rather than on-the-ground construction or capital purchases, with the coordinator serving as the central point of organization to move the recovery program from planning into coordinated action.
The core purpose is to build and maintain a long-term, multi-partner collaboration that advances recovery of the Utah prairie dog while also recognizing and balancing the land-use needs of the public. That balance is a central theme of the opportunity: the coordinator is expected to work across stakeholders and interests so that conservation goals and community or land-management needs can be addressed in parallel rather than in conflict. The position is also expected to align and coordinate with other existing Utah prairie dog efforts, specifically including the Utah Prairie Dog Habitat Credits Exchange Program and the Safe Harbor Program, ensuring that recovery actions are complementary, consistent, and mutually reinforcing rather than duplicative or fragmented.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000 and an award ceiling of $25,000 (no stated minimum award floor beyond $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers to participation for applicants that may not have access to non-federal match. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity unless otherwise limited by any additional eligibility notes in the full announcement.
The announcement was posted and created on November 4, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 11, 2009, and an archive date of December 11, 2009. For assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the listed agency contact was Laura Romin at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 801-975-3330 ext. 142; fax 801-975-3331; email address indicated in the notice). The notice also notes that additional funding beyond the initial term would be subject to the availability of funds, signaling that continuation or expansion was possible but not guaranteed.
