Opportunity Summary:
The Vegetation Classification and Mapping Willapa National Wildlife Refuge grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00170) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The project focuses on natural resources science and technology and other research and development activities, with the core goal of producing a standardized vegetation classification and vegetation map for the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge.
The main objective is to classify and map refuge vegetation using an approach that aligns with methods used across other state and federal lands. In practical terms, the work is meant to create consistent, comparable vegetation and habitat information that can be shared and used across agencies, rather than having each organization rely on incompatible mapping standards. By standardizing how vegetation types are defined and mapped, the project supports coordinated land management and planning across the broader region, especially in areas considered to have special conservation value.
From a public benefit standpoint, the opportunity emphasizes improved coordination among major land management agencies by strengthening shared capacity for vegetation classification and mapping. The end result is intended to improve the ability to develop baseline vegetation and habitat maps that can serve as common reference layers for conservation planning, habitat assessment, and long-term resource management across jurisdictional boundaries.
Funding for the opportunity is fixed at a total of $28,500, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $28,500, indicating an expectation of a single award at that amount. The announcement anticipated one award and did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligible applicants were limited to state governments.
The opportunity was posted and created on May 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 31, 2012, and an archive date of June 8, 2012. Additional details were available through Grants.gov via the link provided in the announcement. For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Angie Chapman at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (360-484-3482, AngieChapman@fws.gov).
