Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Conservation funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R5 MB 10 053) was a discretionary program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation. It made support available for projects focused on migratory bird conservation, with the announcement directing applicants to the full notice for the detailed project description and specific priorities. The award mechanism was listed as either a cooperative agreement or a grant, indicating that some projects could involve substantial federal involvement (typical of cooperative agreements) while others could be administered more independently (typical of grants). The program was categorized under the Environment funding activity.
In terms of funding scale, the opportunity anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total program funding amount of $300,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $2,000 up to a ceiling of $100,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, which means applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match to be eligible, although proposals often remain more competitive when they demonstrate strong partner support or leveraged resources (even when not required).
Eligibility was broad by organization type, spanning public, private, nonprofit, and tribal entities. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), and small businesses. A key limitation was geographic: eligibility was restricted to applicants from specific states in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 footprint as stated in the modified announcement. The eligible states listed were Maine (ME), New Hampshire (NH), Vermont (VT), Connecticut (CT), Rhode Island (RI), Massachusetts (MA), New York (NY), Pennsylvania (PA), Maryland (MD), Virginia (VA), Delaware (DE), and West Virginia (WV), with a later modification explicitly adding New Jersey (NJ). The announcement text also contains a repeated reference to Delaware, but the clear intent is that the program targeted Region 5 states, including NJ after the modification.
The timeline for this opportunity reflects that it was a time-limited competition in 2010. It was posted on July 12, 2010, created on July 15, 2010, and had an original and current closing date of July 30, 2010. The opportunity was archived on August 29, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to contact Christal Cutler, Contract Specialist, at 413-253-8233, identified as the point of contact for electronic access issues.
