Opportunity Summary:
The Canada Goose Banding grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R5 MB 09 003) was a discretionary, single-award grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 5, under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). Posted on January 21, 2009, it had an application deadline of February 4, 2009, and was archived the next day, February 5, 2009. The award was structured as a fixed amount: an estimated total of $10,000 with an award floor and ceiling both set at $10,000, meaning the agency anticipated making one grant at that exact level. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
The purpose of the funding was to support Canada goose monitoring and management work tied to the North Atlantic Population of Canada geese during the Fiscal Year 2009 season, with the grant expiring on December 31, 2009. The funded recipient was expected to deliver three main services: first, examine harvested Canada geese on Prince Edward Island to estimate sex and age ratios, which helps managers understand population structure and annual productivity; second, estimate the overall population size of the North Atlantic Canada Goose Population, a key input for setting harvest frameworks and evaluating conservation status; and third, assist with or support banding operations for this population, which is commonly used to generate data on survival, movement, harvest rates, and other metrics relevant to long-term population management.
Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, and the opportunity explicitly noted that the funding was to be used for a project in Canada. For access issues or technical problems with the electronic announcement, the listed contact was Christal Cutler, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 413-253-8233.
