Opportunity Summary:
The Intermountain West Joint Venture Operations and Administration grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00097) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It was posted on January 29, 2016, created the same day, and had a single application deadline of February 5, 2016. The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally signals that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, such as coordination, collaboration, or shared decision-making during implementation.
The purpose of the award is to continue supporting the operations and administration of the Intermountain West Joint Venture (IWJV). IWJV's mission, as stated in the announcement, is to conserve priority bird habitats by using a partnership-driven approach and science-based projects and programs. In practical terms, this kind of operations and administration support typically underwrites the core capacity needed to keep a joint venture functioning effectively, such as coordinating partner efforts, maintaining governance and planning processes, supporting communications and outreach, managing meetings and partner engagement, administering budgets and work plans, and ensuring that conservation actions are grounded in credible science and are aligned with shared regional priorities. Rather than funding a single on-the-ground habitat project, this opportunity is oriented toward sustaining the organizational backbone that enables multiple conservation efforts to be planned, prioritized, and delivered through partners.
The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and anticipates making one award. The funding activity category is labeled "Other" (with a note to see an explanatory text field in the full announcement), which is common for partnership coordination and administrative support efforts that do not fit neatly into a single standard program category. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 15.637, which is the catalog identifier used for federal assistance listings connected to this program area.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the full details referenced in an additional eligibility section in the original notice. That phrasing usually means the opportunity may be aimed at a specific type of partner organization, a limited pool of entities, or a partner already positioned to carry out joint venture operational responsibilities, but the exact boundaries would be defined in the complete solicitation. Overall, the announcement is about maintaining and strengthening the administrative and operational support structure for IWJV so it can continue coordinating science-based, partner-led conservation of priority bird habitats across the Intermountain West.
