Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) offered a discretionary grant opportunity in 2010 titled "Island Scrub Jay research" (Funding Opportunity Number 80211 A G101) to support fall field work focused on the Island Scrub Jay during the non-breeding season. The core purpose of the project was to continue and strengthen ongoing research on the species behavior and population dynamics outside the breeding period, with particular attention to demography (such as survival, movement patterns, and population structure). The work was intended to generate field-based data that would help clarify the conservation status of the Island Scrub Jay, a species identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC 2008).
The public benefit emphasized in the announcement is the practical management value of the research. By improving understanding of how the Island Scrub Jay behaves and persists during the non-breeding season, the project would inform management decisions designed to protect the species and increase its population. The grant frames the research as a foundation for targeted conservation actions, including identifying and reducing threats that contribute to the species vulnerability. The longer-term goal described is population stabilization and threat reduction significant enough that the Island Scrub Jay could potentially be removed from the Birds of Conservation Concern list, aligning the project outcomes with federal performance expectations, including Office of Management and Budget (OMB) performance measures.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was listed as environment. The CFDA number associated with the program was 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2010, and closed on August 27, 2010, with an archive date of September 26, 2010. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Ruth Ostroff, CVJV Assistant Coordinator, reachable by phone at 916-414-6460 or by email at ruthostroff@fws.gov.
