Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) offered this discretionary grant opportunity, administered as a cooperative agreement, under the title "Wildlife Society - Guidelines to Assess Vulnerability of Species to Rapid Climate Change" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS WASO NOI 2340100026). The focus is on natural resources, with an emphasis on strengthening wildlife education and professional development in ways that help the conservation field respond to long-term pressures, including rapid climate change. Although the title references vulnerability guidelines for species facing rapid climate change, the described work is centered on two connected efforts: providing targeted professional development support for Native American university students and convening a high-level panel to shape the future direction of wildlife education and the broader wildlife profession.
A core part of the project is financial support that enables Native American university students to attend a wildlife professional development program held in conjunction with The Wildlife Society conference in Snowbird, Utah, scheduled for September 2010. This component is designed to increase access to professional networks, training opportunities, and career development resources for students who are historically underrepresented in many conservation and wildlife management pipelines. By supporting conference participation, the project aims to build skills, expand mentorship and networking opportunities, and improve long-term participation of Native American professionals in wildlife management and conservation careers.
The second major deliverable is the formation of a "blue ribbon" panel tasked with developing a strategic plan for the future of wildlife education. The panel is expected to identify the top 15 trends and challenges likely to influence wildlife management and conservation over the next 50 years. In practical terms, this kind of forward-looking assessment typically addresses emerging scientific, environmental, and social drivers that will shape the workforce and the competencies needed in the field. While the announcement text does not list the trends, it signals an intent to produce a prioritized set of issues and a strategic roadmap that educators, professional societies, and wildlife institutions can use to adapt curricula and training pathways to future realities, including the growing impacts of climate change.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $18,500. The listed award ceiling was $80,000, with no award floor specified. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, meaning a qualified nonprofit partner would be responsible for carrying out the activities and administering the student support rather than a university applying directly.
Key dates for this opportunity were tightly scheduled. It was posted and created on March 25, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 5, 2010, and it was archived on May 5, 2010. The CFDA number was shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when an opportunity does not align neatly with a single standard assistance listing.
