Mapping and Modeling of Conservation of focus areas for American Woodcock | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Mapping and Modeling of Conservation of focus areas for American Woodcock" is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.647 (Migratory Bird Conservation). It was posted on August 26, 2014, with an original and final closing date of August 30, 2014, and an archive date of September 4, 2014. The announcement is primarily informational rather than competitive because it is intended to support a single-source financial assistance award to the Wildlife Management Institute, located in Cabot, Vermont. In other words, the agency is publicly posting notice that it plans to make one specific award to one specific organization, rather than soliciting proposals from a wide pool of applicants.

The purpose of the award is to fund mapping and modeling work that identifies and supports conservation focus areas for the American Woodcock, a migratory game bird closely tied to early successional habitats (such as young forest and shrubland). The project is designed to strengthen the American Woodcock Initiative by improving the technical foundation needed to target habitat conservation and restoration efforts where they are likely to have the greatest impact. Mapping and modeling in this context typically refers to using spatial data (such as land cover, habitat condition, and other environmental variables) to locate priority areas for habitat improvement, as well as to guide monitoring strategies over time.

A key emphasis of the project is service delivery: providing technical assistance and outreach related to habitat improvement and monitoring. The work is meant to support both private landowners and public land managers within the project area. That suggests the deliverables are not limited to analytical products like maps or models, but also include practical support such as guidance on habitat management actions, communication materials, coordination with stakeholders, and assistance with monitoring approaches that track habitat conditions or species response.

Geographically, the activities are focused in two major watershed areas: the Connecticut River Watershed and the Susquehanna River Watershed. By tying the effort to these watershed-based landscapes, the project aligns conservation planning with broad ecological and management boundaries that cut across state and local jurisdictions, helping target work at a scale that is meaningful for migratory birds and habitat connectivity.

The funding details are straightforward and tightly defined. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $60,000, indicating the grant amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds to receive the full award amount. While the general eligibility category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the announcement makes clear the intended recipient is the Wildlife Management Institute through a single-source award.
