Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Flammulated Owl Geolocator Monitoring in Western North America" is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary funding action issued as a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI). It is explicitly described as non-competitive and is intended for a specific recipient, Talon Scientific, under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 DM 2.14 B (1) and (4). Because the award is already slated for a named organization and no competition is expected, the announcement clearly instructs the public not to apply.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support research and monitoring that will improve management of the Flammulated Owl by using geolocators to identify where these owls overwinter in Mexico. The Flammulated Owl is recognized by the USFWS as a national Bird of Conservation Concern (2002), which signals elevated conservation attention and a need for better information to guide protection and management decisions. By tracking seasonal movements and pinpointing overwintering regions, the project aims to fill a key knowledge gap that affects how agencies and partners prioritize habitats, threats, and conservation actions across the species range.
A central theme of the project is cross-border conservation planning. The announcement notes that the data produced will help clarify management responsibility and strengthen tri-national conservation planning efforts, meaning coordination among the United States, Mexico, and Canada where relevant. In practical terms, identifying overwintering areas can influence how resources are allocated, which landscapes are targeted for conservation, and how partners collaborate on habitat protection, monitoring, and long-term species recovery strategies.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized under Environment, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and it falls under CFDA number 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation. The agency expected to make a single award, with total estimated funding of $45,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $45,000, indicating the award amount was essentially predetermined. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Although the eligible applicant category is listed as small businesses, the NOI structure and the named recipient language make it clear the listing functions as a public notice rather than an open call for proposals.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of August 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2011, and an archive date of October 2, 2011. The contact person provided for access issues is Bonnie Bates (Secretary) at 503-231-6164, and the internal reference included is FLOW12 / USFWS.
