Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00350
The Habitat Prioritization Connectivity and Fire Risk Analysis Tools opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00350) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant that was structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.664). The project’s central purpose is practical capacity-building: it is meant to provide training for staff at the Yreka Fish and Wildlife Office so they can use the Environmental Evaluation Modeling System (EEMS) approach as part of their ongoing wildlife management work. In other words, the grant is focused less on producing a one-time report and more on transferring a specific analytical method and workflow to agency staff so they can continue applying it in future planning and decision-making.
The training emphasis reflects the technical nature of the work implied by the title: habitat prioritization, landscape connectivity, and fire risk analysis. These topics typically involve combining spatial data, ecological criteria, and decision-support modeling to help identify where conservation or management actions will have the most benefit, how habitats are linked across a landscape for wildlife movement, and where fire risk may overlap with high-value habitat. The EEMS framework is generally used as a structured way to evaluate environmental conditions and management alternatives using defined inputs and transparent logic, which can help standardize internal analyses and make results easier to communicate and update as new data become available.
Eligibility for the opportunity was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The notice indicates it was posted as a Notice of Intent and that the opportunity had already been awarded to the Conservation Biology Institute, meaning it was not a competitive open solicitation at the time of the public notice. The award parameters were modest and targeted, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and an expected single award, consistent with a specialized training-and-implementation support effort rather than a large multi-year field program.
Key administrative details include the creation date of August 23, 2019, and an original closing date statement clarifying that the award had been made. Taken together, the grant can be understood as a small, specific cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the Yreka Fish and Wildlife Office’s in-house ability to apply EEMS-based decision-support tools to recurring challenges in wildlife management, particularly those involving prioritizing habitats, understanding connectivity, and integrating fire-related risk considerations.Apply for F19AS00350
