Opportunity Summary:
The Atlantic Flyway Canada Goose Pre Season Banding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWSR9 MBM 9703) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant in the natural resources area under CFDA 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation. It is issued as a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning there is no open competition and no full public solicitation package associated with it. The Service indicates it plans to enter into a grant agreement specifically with Environment Canada, which is listed as the eligible applicant type (a foreign government agency). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The purpose of the funding is to support leg banding of Atlantic Population Canada geese on their breeding grounds in the Ungava Peninsula region, tied to a longer-running banding effort that began in 1997 in northern Quebec. Banding on the breeding grounds is described as essential because it produces the biological data needed to estimate key population parameters such as annual survival rates and harvest (hunting) rates. Those estimates are used to evaluate why the population declined historically, to track whether survival and harvest are changing over time, and to inform adjustments in management actions across the Atlantic Flyway.
The notice frames the work as a continuation of an established monitoring program rather than a new research initiative, emphasizing the need for consistent, long-term data to support population recovery planning. The core management value is that band recoveries and reporting allow wildlife managers to quantify survival and harvest pressure, which then feeds into decisions about regulations and broader conservation strategies intended to ensure recovery of the Atlantic Population Canada goose.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates a single award with total estimated funding of $51,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $51,000, indicating a fixed expected award amount. Key dates shown in the record include a posted date of March 4, 2011, a current closing date of April 4, 2011 (as a notice-of-intent timeline rather than a competitive deadline), and an archive date of May 4, 2011. Administrative questions are directed to Patricia Stover, Administrative Officer, at 703-358-2263, particularly for assistance accessing materials electronically, although the notice states there is no full announcement associated with the intent to award.
