Opportunity Information: Apply for W912DR 17 2 0001
The Department of Defense, Department of the Army (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Web-based GIS Tool for Natural Resources Management" (Funding Opportunity Number W912DR 17 2 0001). The agency intends to make a single award through a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would likely work in close coordination with the Corps during the period of performance rather than operating fully independently. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 12.010.
The core purpose of the award is to provide geographic information science (GIScience) and geospatial development support to enhance and expand two related web-based geospatial systems used by the Corps' Natural Resources Management program. In practical terms, this is about improving the Corps' ability to manage and use spatial data through modern, web-accessible GIS tools that support day-to-day program operations and decision-making across Corps-managed lands and water resources.
The scope highlighted in the announcement emphasizes three major mission areas. First is modernization support for the Visitation Estimation and Reporting System (VERS), which is the Corps' system for estimating and reporting recreation visitation. Work in this area would typically involve updating how visitation data is collected, processed, visualized, and reported, potentially improving accuracy, usability, and integration with other spatial datasets. Second is boundary management, which generally refers to improving geospatial workflows and tools used to define, verify, maintain, and communicate property and project boundaries, an area where accurate GIS data is critical for compliance, public information, and land management actions. Third is support for an environmental stewardship risk framework, suggesting development or enhancement of tools that help identify, assess, and communicate environmental risks and stewardship priorities, likely by combining spatial data layers, analysis methods, and web-based visualization or decision-support features.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education within that nonprofit category as specified). The Corps anticipated making one award with an award ceiling of $104,300, indicating a relatively focused project or a discrete phase of a larger modernization effort.
The opportunity was created on January 27, 2017, with an original application closing date of February 10, 2017, reflecting a short submission window typical of some targeted cooperative agreement solicitations. Overall, the funding is aimed at strengthening web-based GIS capabilities that directly support recreation reporting, boundary integrity, and environmental stewardship risk management within the Corps Natural Resources Management program.Apply for W912DR 17 2 0001
