Opportunity Summary:
The Avian Health and Disease Surveillance and Monitoring Support grant (Funding Opportunity Number FWS DMBM AHDP 2011 0003) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation. It is designed to fund partner efforts that strengthen the Service's Avian Health and Disease Program, a program created to move away from short-term, emergency-by-emergency responses and instead build a stable, long-term, proactive capacity for avian disease preparedness, surveillance, and management in wild bird populations.
At its core, the opportunity supports work that improves the ability to detect, understand, and respond to health and disease issues affecting wild birds. The program emphasizes routine and strategic surveillance rather than waiting until a major mortality event forces a rapid response. The funded activities are meant to help the Service and its partners stay prepared for disease threats, reduce the likelihood and impact of outbreaks, and make more informed management decisions based on consistent monitoring and baseline data.
The stated objectives of the Avian Health and Disease Program are fourfold. First, it seeks to ensure disease preparedness and prevention by building monitoring systems and response readiness before emergencies occur. Second, it aims to identify both existing and emerging avian health and disease risks, meaning projects that help detect known pathogens and also flag new or changing threats are aligned with the program. Third, it focuses on establishing avian health baselines, which generally refers to collecting and organizing consistent data over time so managers can tell what is normal for a species or region and recognize unusual patterns early. Fourth, it supports the development, guidance, and implementation of appropriate and effective management actions, so the intent is not only to collect information but also to translate that information into practical steps that reduce risk or mitigate impacts.
Funding details indicate an award floor of $1,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The eligibility listing is unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to applicants (subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text). The posting date and creation date were July 28, 2011, and the application closing date was August 5, 2011, with the opportunity archived on September 4, 2011. While those dates show this specific announcement was time-limited and is now archived, the summary still reflects the program purpose and the kinds of partner support the Service was seeking through this funding round.
For applicants or partners needing more information from the original announcement, the listed point of contact is Samantha Gibbs, Avian Disease Coordinator, reachable by phone at 301-497-5860.
