Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird and Monitoring, Assessment, and Conservation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00150) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It was posted on March 29, 2016, created the same day, and carried an application deadline of April 3, 2016. The opportunity sits within CFDA 15.655 and is aligned with environment-focused research, as well as science, technology, and other research and development activities, with an emphasis on generating information and statistics useful for wildlife management.
The purpose of this specific award was to fund the second year of a planned two-year study in southwest Idaho examining how Golden Eagle diets respond to habitat alteration and climate change. In practical terms, the project is meant to move beyond broad observations and produce on-the-ground evidence about what Golden Eagles are eating and how those food choices may shift as landscapes change, temperatures and precipitation patterns vary, and prey communities respond to those pressures. The results are intended to strengthen future Golden Eagle management decisions across the western United States by improving understanding of ecological conditions that support nesting and reproduction, and by helping agencies anticipate how ongoing environmental change could affect eagle populations.
Funding requested under this opportunity was targeted to the operational needs required to carry out a full field season and complete the associated analytical work. The description highlights support for hiring field technicians, covering fuel costs for study vehicles, purchasing or maintaining field equipment, and performing data analysis, data management, and report writing. In addition to diet-related monitoring, the project also includes collection of biological samples from Golden Eagle nests to test for disease and parasites. That health component expands the study beyond diet alone and can help identify whether disease burdens or parasitic infections may be interacting with environmental stressors or prey availability, which is relevant for assessing nest success and overall population resilience.
The grant listed an award ceiling of $120,007 and anticipated making a single award. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been provided in the full announcement text. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused, field-based research investment designed to produce management-relevant findings on Golden Eagle ecology and health in a region where habitat change and climate-driven impacts are expected to influence predator-prey dynamics.

Is this grant intended for basic research or management-relevant outcomes?
The description emphasizes producing management-relevant findings by generating on-the-ground evidence about Golden Eagle diet and related ecological conditions that support nesting and reproduction.
What kinds of questions is the study trying to answer?
The study is intended to document what Golden Eagles are eating and how those food choices may shift as landscapes change, as temperature and precipitation patterns vary, and as prey communities respond to those pressures.
How are the results expected to be used?
The results are intended to strengthen future Golden Eagle management decisions across the western United States by improving understanding of ecological conditions that support nesting and reproduction and by helping agencies anticipate how environmental change could affect eagle populations.
Is the project limited to diet monitoring?
No. In addition to diet-related monitoring, the project includes collecting biological samples from Golden Eagle nests to test for disease and parasites.
Why is disease and parasite testing included?
This health component can help identify whether disease burdens or parasitic infections may be interacting with environmental stressors or prey availability, which is relevant to assessing nest success and overall population resilience.
