Description

The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), National Wildlife Refuge System, administers the Service's Challenge Cost Share program. Challenge Cost Share (CCS) funds are congressionally appropriated monies designated for the protection and conservation of wildlife resources. This is a federal matching funds program which leverages federal dollars with non-federal sources. In addition to money, these federal dollars can be matched with in-kind valuation assigned to non-federal contributions such as labor, equipment use, material and supplies. The non-federal matches may be contributed by State and local governments, private individuals, private organizations, business enterprises, and charitable groups. Service policy dictates that no more than 50 percent of the total cost to implement the project may come from federally funded sources. The CCS program encompasses awards made through both federal assistance and procurement instruments (contracts). This "call for proposals" is the single designated annual competition through which multiple awards will be made. A twin posting of this call for proposals # 701816R006 has been posted on http://www.grants.gov. The Alaska National Wildlife Refuge System invites the submission of new proposals in support of Alaskan natural resource management and science camps, both as components of the 2006 CCS program. Science camps must have at least a 25 percent nonfederal match. Project proposals must demonstrate a strong relationship between a non-federal group and an Alaskan U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office. This is the initial announcement for this funding opportunity. The CCS program is an annual funding source set up on the federal fiscal year schedule; therefore, the objectives and work identified in the proposals selected for award under this announcement must be completed no later than September 30, 2006. Proposals must be delivered to Maeve Taylor at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office at 1011 East Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK by 4:00 PM Alaska Time on December 19, 2005. Proposals may be mailed to the address below and must display a postmark earlier than December 20, 2005: Maeve Taylor, Challenge Cost Share Coordinator; Alaska's National Wildlife Refuge System; 1011 East Tudor Road, MS#235;Anchorage, AK 99503. Projects will be considered on or in the proximity of all 16 National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska. Please note: (1) There is no "bidder's list" or "plan holders list" to get on. (2) There is no printed Solicitation Packet to request. The entire Funding Opportunity Description including examples of previous selected projects and relevant eligibility and evaluation criteria are available online at http://alaska.fws.gov/nwr/pdf/costshare_fa.pdf Please direct questions to Maeve_Taylor@fws.gov or contact her by calling (907) 786-3391.
