Opportunity Summary:
The Utah Prairie Dog Recovery Implementation Program Coordinator grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00343) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding announcement that supports staffing for a specific coordination role within the Utah Prairie Dog Recovery and Implementation Program (UPDRIP). The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to be substantially involved in the funded work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The stated purpose is straightforward: pay for the UPDRIP Program Coordinator position so the program can be coordinated and carried out consistently under the Utah Prairie Dog Recovery and Implementation Program Document.
The core objective of the funded position is to build and maintain long-term, multi-partner collaboration aimed at recovering the Utah prairie dog while also balancing public land-use needs. In practice, this means the coordinator is expected to keep multiple parties aligned around shared recovery actions, schedules, and responsibilities, and to help ensure that recovery work proceeds in a way that recognizes real-world constraints such as development, recreation, agriculture, and other community and land management priorities. The emphasis on collaboration suggests the coordinator functions as a central hub for communication, planning, and implementation across agencies, organizations, and stakeholders involved in prairie dog conservation and management.
A key element of the role is integration with other Utah prairie dog efforts, specifically including coordination with the Utah Prairie Dog Habitat Credits Exchange Program and the Safe Harbor Program. That signals an intent to connect UPDRIP implementation with complementary tools that can incentivize habitat outcomes (such as credit or exchange mechanisms) and support voluntary conservation commitments (such as safe harbor arrangements). The coordinator is therefore not only responsible for implementing the UPDRIP program document, but also for ensuring that related programs are synchronized so that conservation measures, stakeholder commitments, and land-use considerations work together rather than at cross purposes.
Administratively, the announcement is a notice of intent to make a single-source award through the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network to Southern Utah University, citing Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2 (2). This indicates the agency planned a targeted partnership rather than an open competitive process for this specific award pathway. The opportunity was created on July 13, 2016, with an original closing date of July 20, 2016, reflecting a short response window consistent with a pre-identified awardee approach. The listed continuation award ceiling is $20,000, and the expected number of awards is 5, suggesting the agency anticipated multiple related awards or increments, but with this notice focusing on supporting the coordinator function essential to keeping the broader recovery and implementation effort organized and effective.
