Opportunity Summary:
The BDJV FY16 Competitive Grant Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in partnership with the Black Duck Joint Venture (BDJV). BDJV is part of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and focuses on conserving American Black Ducks by building and sharing the scientific information needed to manage the species effectively. Through this competition, FWS is looking for research proposals and studies that expand both BDJV knowledge and the broader scientific communitys understanding of black duck ecology, habitat use, population dynamics, and management strategies.
The program is broadly open in terms of research topics: proposals can address any aspect of black duck ecology and management. That said, applications that directly target BDJVs stated priority research needs (listed in the full announcement) are more likely to rise to the top during review and selection. A key competitiveness factor is cost sharing. While not framed as an absolute requirement in the summary, applicants are strongly encouraged to include both cash match and in-kind contributions, since proposals that leverage partner resources typically demonstrate stronger collaboration and greater overall project value.
Funding is provided as a grant (and the description also references cooperative agreements as a mechanism used by the program). The maximum award amount is $150,000, and the program anticipated making about four awards under this particular cycle. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.655 and is categorized under Natural Resources, reflecting its focus on applied conservation science and wildlife management.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and local governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than universities); individuals; for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits). This wide eligibility reflects the BDJV model, which is built around partnerships among agencies, universities, NGOs, and other stakeholders involved in waterfowl conservation and research.
Application requirements are straightforward but formal. A complete application package must include a project proposal along with three standard federal forms: SF-424 (Application for Federal Assistance), SF-424A (Budget Information), and SF-424B (Assurances). In addition to submitting the required narrative and forms, successful applicants must meet standard federal administrative prerequisites, including registration with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and having a current DUNS number in order to receive an award. The opportunity was posted on Aug 16, 2016, and the original application deadline was Oct 07, 2016.
