Migratory Bird Conservation in the Upper Midwest | Apply Online

Opportunity Information: Apply for FWS 12 MB 647 001

The Upper Midwest Migratory Bird Conservation Program is seeking proposals for small grants focused on the conservation of birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, excluding federally endangered or threatened species. This initiative is relevant for states including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin, as well as non-breeding areas crucial for breeding birds from these regions.

In 2012, the program has identified several key priorities:

1. **Coordinated Bird Monitoring**: Proposals should enhance regional bird monitoring efforts, promote the sharing of information among conservation partners, and improve understanding of bird migration ecology and grassland bird conservation. Collaborative projects with multiple partners are favored.

2. **Focal Species Conservation**: The program is particularly interested in projects around specific bird species such as the Golden-winged Warbler, American Woodcock, and Great Lakes terns. Proposals with monitoring components that aid conservation planning will receive more attention.

3. **Strategic Conservation**: Applicants should aim to develop demographic/population models and promote research on shorebird conservation and habitat management that supports continental population goals.

4. **Avian Health and Disease**: There is a strong emphasis on establishing health baselines, identifying health risks, and increasing disease preparedness in wild bird populations, particularly concerning certain diseases like avian influenza and botulism.

Potential applicants are encouraged to contact Steve Lewis from the USFWS for guidance and resources before submitting proposals.
