Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Implement PPJV Conservation Activities in Montana" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00203) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding action designed to support on-the-ground and coordination work for migratory bird conservation in Montana under the Playa Lakes Joint Venture framework as it applies to the region (referred to in the notice as the PPJV). The purpose is to implement conservation actions in the Montana portion of the joint venture area consistent with the 2005 PPJV Implementation Plan and later updates, meaning the work is intended to follow an established, science-based regional plan rather than start from scratch.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to stay substantially involved during the project period through coordination, technical input, or shared decision-making, rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. It is also explicitly described as a single-source award under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B, 4) citing unique qualifications, and the notice states the intent to award specifically to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. In practice, that means it was not set up as a broad open competition for multiple organizations; instead, it was a targeted agreement based on the agency's determination that the named recipient was uniquely positioned to carry out the work.
The scope of work is straightforward and practical, centered on implementing conservation and partnership activities across Montana. The listed tasks include habitat conservation projects (which can include planning, restoration, enhancement, or protection actions aligned with joint venture priorities), landowner outreach efforts (working directly with private landowners and communities to encourage or facilitate habitat-friendly practices), collaboration with PPJV partners (coordinating with other agencies, NGOs, and stakeholders involved in joint venture delivery), support for monitoring and research projects (helping with data collection, assessment, or other science and evaluation components that inform conservation decisions), and hosting or arranging meetings specifically for Montana partners (keeping the partnership network organized and ensuring that priorities, progress, and technical needs are discussed regularly). Taken together, the work emphasizes both implementation on the landscape and the behind-the-scenes coordination needed to keep a multi-partner conservation program functioning effectively.
Financially, the notice estimated total funding of $200,000, with individual awards expected to fall between $30,000 and $50,000 (award floor and ceiling), and it anticipated up to five awards. The CFDA number listed is 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures, and the posting notes that no cost sharing or matching requirement was expected for recipients. The opportunity was posted on May 27, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 1, 2014, and it was archived on June 27, 2014, reflecting a short public notice window consistent with a notice of intent for a single-source action.
For administrative and access questions, the announcement provided a federal point of contact: Casey Stemler, Project Officer, reachable by phone at 303-236-4412 or by email at caseystemler@fws.gov.
