Opportunity Information: Apply for F16AS00009
The "GBLCC Notice of Intent to Make a Single Source Award" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00009) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on environmental research in the Great Basin. The project centers on understanding how cheatgrass-driven fire interacts with climate conditions and what those combined pressures mean for sensitive-status birds across the region. In practical terms, the work is aimed at improving the science behind how invasive cheatgrass can alter fire frequency and intensity, how changing climate patterns can amplify or shift those fire dynamics, and how those landscape changes affect bird species that are already considered sensitive or at elevated conservation concern.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally signals that the agency expects to be meaningfully involved during the project period (for example, collaborating on study design refinements, coordinating data sharing, or helping connect the research to management needs). The award is described as a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency anticipated issuing the funding to one specific applicant rather than running an open competition among many proposals. Consistent with that approach, the anticipated number of awards is one.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which typically includes state universities and similar public higher-education entities. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.669 and is categorized under the Environment activity area. The maximum award amount (ceiling) listed is $47,169, indicating a relatively targeted research effort rather than a large multi-year program, although the exact scope, duration, and deliverables would normally be defined in the cooperative agreement’s terms.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of October 28, 2015, and a creation date of October 16, 2015. Overall, the opportunity is designed to generate applied research findings that can inform conservation and land management decisions in the Great Basin, especially where invasive grass-fire cycles and climate variability are influencing habitat conditions for sensitive bird species.Apply for F16AS00009
