Opportunity Summary:
The Arctic Goose Joint Venture Request for Proposals 2013 (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS AGJV FY13) was a competitive federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to support research and conservation work focused on northern nesting geese. The program sits under the broader North American Waterfowl Management Plan and is built as a partnership-driven conservation effort. Its core purpose is to strengthen scientific understanding of goose ecology and management so that agencies and partners can make better, more defensible decisions about conservation and population management across the birds' northern breeding range.
This opportunity provided grant funding for projects that advance knowledge relevant to goose monitoring, assessment, and conservation, aligning with CFDA 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation). The agency indicated it could support both short, one-year efforts and a limited number of multi-year projects, with multi-year work allowed for up to five years total. Even for multi-year projects, funding was not guaranteed as a single lump award; instead, projects were to be funded one year at a time, with continuation dependent on annual review, acceptable progress, and the availability of funds. Projects that had received five consecutive years of support were allowed to submit again, but would be re-evaluated competitively based on ongoing merit rather than automatically renewed.
In terms of funding scale, the announcement anticipated about four awards with an estimated total of $270,000 available. Individual awards could be as large as $100,000, and the stated award floor was $0, which effectively signaled flexibility in award size depending on project scope and the amount of funding requested. A notable point for applicants was that no cost share or matching funds were required, which can lower barriers to entry for smaller organizations or research teams that may not have access to non-federal match.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity (for example, universities, nonprofits, tribal organizations, state or local governments, private entities, or individuals), subject to any clarifications that might have been included in the full notice on Grants.gov. The funding activity category was tied to natural resources, reflecting the ecological and wildlife management focus of the program.
The timeline for the 2013 competition was straightforward: the opportunity was posted on February 15, 2013, with a proposal deadline (closing date) of March 8, 2013. The record was archived on April 7, 2013. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials. For help accessing the announcement or related questions, the listed point of contact was Thomas Cooper, Wildlife Biologist at USFWS, reachable by phone at 612-713-5338 or by email at tomcooper@fws.gov.
