Opportunity Summary:
The Atlantic Flyway Canada Goose Recruitment Studies opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) notice of intent to make a single-source grant award to Environment Canada, rather than an open, competitive funding announcement. In practical terms, it is not a solicitation for proposals from the public or other organizations. The agency is stating upfront that it plans to issue one grant agreement to a specific recipient under CFDA 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation) and the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended (16 USC 742a-742j). The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and the expected number of awards is one.
The purpose of the grant is to support research that estimates reproductive success and recruitment in the Atlantic Population of Canada geese. These estimates are intended to feed directly into population dynamics models used to understand how the population changes over time and why. The core idea is that reliable, biologically grounded measures of how many young are produced and survive to enter the population are essential for predicting trends, diagnosing declines, and evaluating whether management actions are working. The work is positioned as a building block for developing more formal population models and, ultimately, an adaptive harvest management framework designed to support population recovery and reduce the risk of future declines.
A central emphasis of the project is the development of an ongoing monitoring program that can generate enough biological data on an annual basis to support new management strategies. That framing signals the agency is not only interested in a one-time study, but in establishing repeatable methods and consistent data streams that managers can use year after year when making decisions. The monitoring focus also implies an applied outcome: producing standardized recruitment and reproduction metrics that are dependable enough to inform policy choices about conservation and harvest.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FWSR9 MBM 9702 with a posted date of March 4, 2011. The total estimated funding is $30,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $30,000, indicating a single fixed-size award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to a foreign government agency, which aligns with the stated intent to award to Environment Canada. The original closing date is shown as April 4, 2011, and the archive date as May 4, 2011, reflecting that the notice is primarily a public record of an intended award rather than a call for competing applications.
For questions or issues accessing materials, the notice provides a service contact: Patricia Stover, Administrative Officer, at 703-358-2263.
