Opportunity Summary:
The Partners in Flight Database Updates and Maintenance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00318) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, focused on natural resources (CFDA 15.655). The project goal is to maintain and further develop the national Partners in Flight population assessment and population estimates databases. These databases are publicly accessible online at no cost and serve as a widely used tool for tracking the status and health of North American bird populations. The intended users include conservation partners, non-governmental organizations, and public agencies that rely on consistent, credible population information for planning, reporting, and conservation decision-making.
The scope centers on keeping these national databases current and functional, which generally implies ongoing updates to underlying datasets, quality control and validation of population metrics, and continued maintenance or improvements that help ensure the databases remain reliable and usable for a broad audience. Because these products are used across many organizations, the work supports coordinated bird conservation by providing a shared reference for population assessments and estimates.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may apply, subject to any additional eligibility details that might be provided in the full notice. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $28,000. The notice was created on July 1, 2016, with an original application closing date of July 5, 2016, indicating a short application window.
