Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00423
The California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC) funding opportunity (Opportunity Number F17AS00423) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.669. It is designed to strengthen landscape-scale conservation efforts in California by supporting the kind of coordinated planning and applied science that resource managers and conservation partners need to make decisions across large geographic areas. The program centers on the idea that Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) function as core building blocks for conservation planning and scientific capacity, helping agencies and partners align strategies, share data, and tackle conservation challenges that cross jurisdictional boundaries.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. In practice, this often aligns well with projects that require coordination among multiple partners, iterative planning, shared technical work, and ongoing communication between recipients and the Fish and Wildlife Service. The work supported by the CA LCC emphasizes collaborative conservation planning initiatives, targeted efforts to meet critical science needs for resource managers, and capacity-building activities such as trainings and webinars. These components reflect a focus not only on generating information, but also on making that information usable and widely accessible to practitioners who are responsible for managing natural resources.
The opportunity was posted with a creation date of August 22, 2017, and an original application closing date of September 22, 2017. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed is $94,000, and the opportunity anticipated making a single award. Eligible applicants include a broad mix of conservation and research-capable entities, including state governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, matching the program's purpose of supporting science-informed conservation and management at a landscape scale.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at strengthening regional conservation outcomes by funding a partner-led effort that blends planning, science support, and professional development. Rather than focusing on isolated site-based projects, it is geared toward collaborative work that improves how conservation is planned and implemented across larger landscapes, including building shared understanding among stakeholders and equipping managers with tools, information, and training that can be applied in real-world decision-making.Apply for F17AS00423
