Opportunity Summary:
The Avian Health and Disease Surveillance and Monitoring Support Region 8 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS DMBM AHDP 2012 0008) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under its Pacific Southwest Avian Health and Disease Program. The core goal is to support projects that help conserve migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act by improving avian health and disease surveillance, monitoring, and related conservation actions. The geographic focus is Region 8, with proposals expected to be specific to California and/or Nevada, reflecting the program's intent to strengthen on-the-ground capacity and information for these states.
Funding for the FY2012 cycle was listed at an estimated total of $300,000, with approximately six awards anticipated. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $1,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $60,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible to organizations that may not have additional non-federal resources available to contribute.
The funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity category is Natural Resources. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation, indicating that funded work should align with monitoring and assessment activities that ultimately support migratory bird conservation outcomes. While the announcement references a full attachment for complete details, the title and stated purpose make clear that competitive proposals would likely emphasize practical surveillance and monitoring efforts, collection and management of avian health data, and activities that help detect, track, or respond to disease issues affecting migratory bird populations in California and Nevada.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common conservation and research partners. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, state governments, and Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) as well as other Native American tribal organizations. This wide eligibility suggests USFWS intended to encourage partnerships across universities, government agencies, tribes, and nonprofit conservation organizations, which is often important for effective wildlife disease surveillance that spans jurisdictions and land ownerships.
Key dates for the solicitation were a posted date of January 17, 2012, with the proposal closing date on February 24, 2012 (original and current closing dates were the same). The archive date was March 25, 2012, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and tied to the FY2012 funding cycle.
