Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00004
The Multi-Media Assistance with Air Quality and Climate Change Outreach opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00004) is a Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement focused on improving public education and outreach about air quality and climate change within the National Wildlife Refuge System. The core idea is to translate site-specific science into accessible, engaging materials that refuge visitors and online audiences can understand, using a mix of digital media, printed products, and on-site interactive exhibits.
The project scope combines research, interpretation, and media production. On the research side, the work includes collecting and analyzing air quality data that are relevant to selected refuges and conducting climate change research tied to those same locations. That scientific work is meant to be directly connected to interpretive products rather than stand alone, so the data and findings feed into the messages, visuals, and interactive content that visitors and the public will ultimately see.
On the outreach and deliverables side, the funded activities include creating a web-based podcast that explains air quality and climate-related issues as they affect refuges across the National Wildlife Refuge System, along with developing and printing brochures covering similar topics for public distribution. A major component is the survey and selection process for up to three individual National Wildlife Refuges where the project team will design refuge-specific interactive kiosk displays. For those selected sites, the agreement supports interpretive software development for the kiosks, creation of customized artwork and program layouts tailored to each refuge, and then the final installation of the interactive kiosks on-site.
Administratively, this is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, listed under CFDA 15.678. The total anticipated award amount is capped at $170,214, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on October 17, 2016, with an original closing date of October 24, 2016. It is also explicitly described as a single-source cooperative agreement awarded to Colorado State University through the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, justified under DOI Policy 505 sections 2.14(1) for an unsolicited proposal and 2.14(4) for unique qualifications. In practical terms, that means it was not structured as an open, widely competed solicitation; instead, it was set up to fund a specific partner based on their specialized capacity and an unsolicited submission.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to produce concrete educational products (podcast, brochures, and interactive kiosks) grounded in refuge-relevant air quality and climate science, with the end goal of helping the public understand how these issues affect refuge resources and why they matter for conservation and management.Apply for F17AS00004
