Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 24
The grant opportunity titled NATURAL RESOURCES SUPPORT HILL AFB AND UTTR (Funding Opportunity Number: NWO CESU 17 24) is a Department of Defense award managed through the Omaha District. It is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the environment funding activity category (CFDA 12.632). The government anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $382,269. The opportunity was originally posted on July 21, 2017, with an original closing date of August 21, 2017. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the intent that applicants review the additional eligibility notes in the full announcement for the specific qualifying categories.
The purpose of the project is to provide direct, practical support to the Natural Resource Management Team (NRMT) serving Hill Air Force Base (Hill AFB) and the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). In plain terms, the award is designed to fund hands-on natural resources work that helps the installation meet mission needs while complying with conservation and environmental stewardship requirements. The scope is wide and field-oriented, covering wildlife, habitat, vegetation, and post-disturbance recovery, along with data updates used for ongoing management decisions.
A major emphasis is on surveys and monitoring across multiple sensitive species and habitat types. The work includes critical habitat mapping and a long list of targeted wildlife efforts: burrowing owl surveys and the ongoing maintenance or refurbishment of burrowing owl boxes; dark kangaroo mouse surveys; golden eagle nest surveys; broader raptor habitat surveys; kit fox surveys; general avian surveys; predator surveys; mule deer habitat utilization surveys; and reptile surveys. These tasks indicate the project is meant to generate actionable field data (presence/absence, nesting activity, habitat use, trends, and distribution) and to support species-specific management actions, especially for species that may be protected, sensitive, or of special concern.
Vegetation and habitat management are also central components. The NRMT is seeking support for vegetation monitoring and for updating range trend models, which are typically used to track changes in plant communities and rangeland condition over time and to inform land management decisions. The project also calls for creating green firebreaks, determining burned-area succession rates, and conducting invasive species control and habitat restoration. Together, those elements point to a sustained focus on reducing wildfire risk and improving ecological resilience by stabilizing disturbed areas, monitoring recovery after fires, and removing or controlling invasive plants that can alter habitat quality and fire behavior.
Operationally, the announcement makes it clear that this is not a remote, desk-based research award. Because the Hill AFB Natural Resources Program is physically located at Hill AFB in Davis County, Utah, the government requires an onsite support person who is located and based at Hill AFB and has experience conducting similar natural resources work in the region. This onsite role is expected to provide supervision and logistical support for intensive field work on the UTTR, which suggests coordinating crews, scheduling and planning field efforts, ensuring access and compliance requirements are met, supporting safe and efficient field operations, and helping the NRMT execute a large and diverse workload across a geographically expansive range environment.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as funding an embedded field-support capability for the NRMT, combining species and habitat surveys, monitoring and data/model updates, and active management actions such as nest/box maintenance, invasive species control, restoration, and fire-related mitigation and recovery tracking. The deliverables implied by the scope would likely include mapped habitat products, survey datasets and summaries, updated trend/model inputs, documentation of management actions completed, and coordinated field logistics that enable the Air Force natural resources program to maintain continuity of monitoring and stewardship across Hill AFB and the UTTR.Apply for NWO CESU 17 24
