Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Avian Influenza Surveillance in the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways" (Funding Opportunity Number AFMFAI2010) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under its Migratory Birds program area. It was created and posted on January 16, 2010, with applications due by February 12, 2010, and later archived on March 14, 2010. The overall goal is to support FY10-funded efforts to detect highly pathogenic avian influenza in wild bird populations, with an emphasis on coordinated surveillance across two major migratory corridors in the United States: the Atlantic Flyway and the Mississippi Flyway.
Funding is intended to strengthen early detection and situational awareness by supporting two specific types of work. First, it supports investigations of morbidity and mortality events in wild birds, meaning projects that respond to and assess unusual sickness or die-offs in wild bird populations, including field investigation and related surveillance activities aimed at identifying avian influenza as a possible cause. Second, it supports targeted avian influenza surveillance in live wild birds, which typically involves planned sampling efforts focused on particular species, locations, seasons, or risk-based targets within the two flyways to improve the chances of detecting the virus if it is present.
The opportunity anticipates making about five awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $400,000. Individual awards have a stated ceiling of $50,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating there is no minimum grant amount specified. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants, which means eligible recipients are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. The program is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.655, "Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation," reflecting its alignment with broader migratory bird health and monitoring priorities while focusing specifically on avian influenza detection and surveillance.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Samantha Gibbs, Avian Disease Coordinator, reachable by phone at 571-216-5776.
