Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00089
The grant opportunity titled "Addressing factors limiting range production in the sagebrush ecosystems around Red Rock Lakes NWR" is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action set up as a cooperative agreement. It focuses on improving understanding and management of the sagebrush ecosystem and overall rangeland productivity in and around Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), with an emphasis on identifying and addressing key threats that are limiting range production. In practical terms, the work is meant to support refuge and adjacent-land management by generating usable science and management insights related to sagebrush rangelands.
The project is structured around close collaboration between Red Rock Lakes NWR and a cooperating partner, with the partner expected to provide direct support across the full project lifecycle. The deliverables described are not limited to field work alone; they explicitly include assistance with project design (how the study is set up and what data are collected), implementation (carrying out monitoring, experiments, or other on-the-ground activities), analyses (processing and interpreting the collected information), and summarization of findings (turning results into clear written products). A central expected outcome is that results will be written up as a scientific, peer-reviewed publication, with a deadline stated as no later than fall 2022, signaling that the agency intended the work to meet academic standards while still informing management decisions.
Administratively, the opportunity number is F19AS00089 and it was created on February 5, 2019, with an original closing date of February 12, 2019, indicating a short window that aligns with a targeted or non-competitive action. The notice states it is a "notice of intent to award" a single-source cooperative agreement to Montana State University under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2 (4)) based on unique qualifications. This language typically means the agency had a strong justification for selecting a specific partner rather than running an open competition, often because of specialized expertise, capacity, existing data, established relationships in the area, or a proven track record with similar rangeland and sagebrush research.
The funding information provided lists an award ceiling of $225,000, and "ExpectedAwards: 5" appears in the record, though the narrative also emphasizes a single-source intent to Montana State University for this particular action. The assistance listing includes CFDA number 15.655, and the eligible applicants field is broadly labeled as "Others" with additional eligibility clarification referenced but not included in the excerpt. The activity category is labeled "Other," implying the work may cut across standard bins like research, monitoring, and applied management support rather than fitting neatly into one conventional category.
Overall, the opportunity is best read as a focused, applied science and management-support project: generate defensible findings about what is limiting sagebrush ecosystem function and rangeland production around Red Rock Lakes NWR, collaborate closely with refuge staff during study design and field implementation, analyze and interpret results in a way that informs management, and publish the findings in a peer-reviewed outlet on a defined timeline.Apply for F19AS00089
