Opportunity Summary:
The Cinnamon Teal Banding Project (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00261) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding opportunity issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation. The purpose of the project is to support hands-on field work that improves migratory bird monitoring by trapping and banding waterfowl, with particular attention to cinnamon teal, and delivering banding data to FWS for subsequent analysis and reporting.
The work described in the announcement centers on operational field tasks. The award recipient is expected to set up waterfowl traps, capture waterfowl (including cinnamon teal), determine and record key biological details such as age and sex, and apply leg bands to the captured birds. After banding is completed, the recipient must provide the FWS Project Officer with a complete list of banded birds so the information can be used for analysis and incorporated into a year-end report. In practical terms, the deliverable is not only the banding effort itself, but also a usable dataset that can feed FWS monitoring and conservation assessments.
This notice is explicitly a single-source Notice of Intent to award to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, justified under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2.14 B on the basis of unique qualifications. As a result, while the posting appears in grant systems like a typical funding announcement, it is not structured as an open competition for broad applicants. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," but the eligibility narrative clarifies that the intended recipient is Idaho Department of Fish and Game under the single-source rationale.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $15,000, with an award ceiling of $15,000 and an award floor of $1,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of the award. The opportunity was posted on June 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 1, 2014, and an archive date of July 24, 2014, indicating the window was short and consistent with the administrative posting of a notice of intent rather than a long-form competitive solicitation.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed FWS contact is Dave Olson, reachable at 303-236-6284 or via email at daveolson@fws.gov.
