Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00236
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Conservation and Environmental Review Tool (CERT) grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.664) aimed at supporting an online, interactive system that helps people evaluate environmental and conservation considerations for proposed projects in Nebraska. The central purpose of the opportunity is to enhance and/or sustain a web-based mapping and review platform that brings together key natural resource information so project planners can identify potential environmental conflicts early, especially those involving threatened and endangered species and other sensitive resources.
CERT itself is described as an intuitive, interactive mapping application that provides access to multiple natural resource map layers. These layers are intended to inform conservation planning and environmental reviews by showing information such as the known or expected distribution of threatened and endangered species, migratory birds, protected lands, and other conservation-relevant natural resource data. By consolidating these layers into a single interface, the tool is designed to make it easier for users to understand what resources may be present in an area and what that could mean for project planning, siting, and permitting.
A major feature of CERT is that it automates key parts of the environmental review workflow. Instead of relying only on manual map checks or back-and-forth requests for data, project proponents can upload a project boundary or draw it directly on the map, specify the types of activities they plan to conduct, and then submit the information for review. The submission is reviewed by both the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. After submission, the tool analyzes the project location and proposed activities against the threatened and endangered species distribution data and other mapped resource layers, then returns results that indicate where there may be potential impacts. In practical terms, the tool is meant to speed up early-stage screening, improve consistency, and help users identify when additional coordination, avoidance measures, or more detailed analysis might be needed.
The opportunity emphasizes that CERT is meant for a broad user base. Primary users include conservation professionals as well as developers, consultants, and others who routinely need to conduct environmental reviews for proposed projects. At the same time, the tool is also positioned as a public-facing educational resource, allowing members of the public to explore natural resources across Nebraska and learn more about areas they care about, even if they are not submitting a formal project review.
From a grant administration standpoint, the funding opportunity number is F19AS00236, categorized as an environmental discretionary grant. The award ceiling listed is $50,000, with an expectation of up to 5 awards. The opportunity was created on June 7, 2019, with an original closing date of June 14, 2019. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants should consult the additional eligibility details in the full announcement. Overall, the opportunity centers on supporting a practical decision-support and review tool that improves how conservation information is accessed and applied during project planning and environmental compliance in Nebraska.Apply for F19AS00236
