Opportunity Summary:
The "Implementation of PPJV activities in North Dakota" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00289) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding announcement intended to support on-the-ground and partner-driven work connected to the Prairie Pothole Joint Venture (PPJV) in North Dakota. The project focus is practical implementation: carrying out habitat conservation efforts, engaging landowners through outreach, collaborating with PPJV partners on shared priorities, supporting monitoring and research activities, and coordinating or hosting meetings that bring together North Dakota-specific partners. In plain terms, the funding is meant to help translate PPJV conservation goals into real projects and coordination activities within the state.
This opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means FWS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is planned and carried out. The announcement is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to North Dakota Game and Fish, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B(4)) related to "unique qualifications." That language signals the agency is not running an open competition in the usual sense; instead, it is formally documenting its intent to fund a specific organization based on its particular capacity, role, or expertise relevant to PPJV implementation in North Dakota.
From a funding standpoint, the posting lists an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, with individual awards expected to fall between a floor of $30,000 and a ceiling of $50,000, and it notes an expectation of up to five awards. The CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the opportunity is 15.637, labeled "Migratory Bird Joint Ventures," which aligns with PPJV's broader mission of conserving habitat important to migratory birds, particularly within the Prairie Pothole Region. The announcement states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a specific non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award (though partnerships and leveraged contributions may still be part of how the work is carried out in practice).
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 8, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2014, and an archive date of August 8, 2014. Because it is a notice of intent for a single-source cooperative agreement, the short open period is consistent with a public notice process rather than a long competitive application window. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" but clarified in the eligibility information as the same single-source intent to North Dakota Game and Fish under the DOI policy justification.
