Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00077
The Ute Ladies Tresses Data Compilation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00077) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.608). It was created on December 19, 2016, with an original closing date of December 26, 2016, and it carries an award ceiling of $43,713 with one expected award. The notice indicates an intent to make a single-source award to the University of Wyoming under DOI policy 505 DM 2, citing the bases of an unsolicited proposal and unique qualifications, which signals that the agency had a specific partner in mind because of specialized expertise, existing capacity, or established access to the relevant datasets and networks.
The purpose of the project is to conduct a thorough, range-wide data gathering and synthesis effort focused on Spiranthes diluvialis (Ute ladies tresses), a species for which effective conservation planning depends heavily on knowing where it is present, where it has been searched for and not found, and how reliable and comparable those records are across jurisdictions. The central deliverable implied by the description is a compiled body of best-available information on both presence and absence throughout the species known range, intended to support stronger evaluations of status and trends and to inform conservation actions. Rather than funding new field surveys as the primary activity, the opportunity emphasizes compiling, reconciling, and standardizing existing information so that managers and scientists can work from a single, more complete picture.
The work described involves reaching out to and coordinating with a wide set of data holders across the western United States, including federal and state agencies, environmental consultants, and academic or independent researchers who have conducted surveys or other sampling within states believed to be within the species range. Because relevant records are often fragmented, the project is framed as an intensive retrieval and synthesis effort across many formats and repositories. The opportunity anticipates that usable information could be stored in partner-maintained databases and spreadsheets, embedded in published scientific papers, contained in gray literature such as contract reports and internal agency documents, or scattered across miscellaneous archives that are not easily discoverable without direct outreach.
In practical terms, this kind of compilation effort typically requires collecting datasets and documents, extracting key fields (such as location, date, observer, survey method, effort, habitat context, and detection results), and then harmonizing them so that records from different sources can be compared and combined. The explicit emphasis on both presence and absence is important, because documented non-detections and survey effort can be just as valuable as sightings when evaluating distribution, occupancy, and changes over time, especially for rare plants where absence data are often missing or inconsistently recorded. The end goal is a consolidated, defensible dataset and accompanying synthesis that can be used by the Fish and Wildlife Service and partners to better evaluate the species and make more effective conservation decisions across its range.Apply for F17AS00077
