Opportunity Summary:
The Arctic Goose Joint Venture (AGJV) Request for Proposals for FY 2014-2015 is a competitive funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support research and conservation work focused on northern nesting geese. AGJV operates as a partnership-based conservation program under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, and its central goal is to improve the knowledge base needed for effective goose management. In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at projects and studies that strengthen the broader scientific community's understanding of goose ecology, population dynamics, monitoring methods, habitat relationships, and management approaches relevant to Arctic and northern breeding geese.
The funding mechanism for this opportunity is a grant, and the activity area is categorized under natural resources. FWS anticipated making about three awards under this cycle, with an estimated total funding pool of $270,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $150,000, allowing both smaller targeted efforts and more substantial research or monitoring initiatives to be proposed. A notable feature of this solicitation is that it does not require cost sharing or a matching contribution, which can lower the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning proposals could be submitted by a wide range of applicant types, subject to any clarifications that might appear in the full announcement under additional eligibility information. The solicitation explicitly welcomes proposals from interested parties and emphasizes that awards may be made not only through grants but also through purchase orders and contracts, depending on the nature of the work and administrative considerations, though the listed funding instrument type for the opportunity is a grant.
AGJV indicated openness to both single-year projects and a limited number of multi-year projects lasting up to five years. Multi-year efforts, however, are not funded as a single block; instead, they are supported in one-year increments. Continued funding from year to year depends on an annual review process, evidence of appropriate progress, and the availability of funds. The announcement also clarifies that projects receiving five consecutive years of funding may reapply afterward and will be reevaluated based on ongoing merit, which signals a balance between supporting long-term monitoring or research needs and maintaining competition and accountability over time.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number FWS-AGJV-FY2014-2015 and the CFDA listing 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation). The opportunity was posted on August 25, 2014, created on August 22, 2014, and had an application deadline of October 3, 2014, with the archive date listed as November 2, 2014. Applicants seeking more detailed guidance were directed to the Arctic Goose Joint Venture website, and the listed point of contact for assistance (including help accessing the full announcement) was Thomas Cooper, Wildlife Biologist and Program Administrator, reachable by phone at 612-713-5338.
