Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Joint Ventures Midwest Region FY 2009 Opportunities grant is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) funding opportunity designed to support on-the-ground and science-based bird conservation work in the Midwest Region. It is tied specifically to two major partnership-based conservation initiatives: the eastern Prairie Pothole Joint Venture and the Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture. Projects proposed under this opportunity are expected to contribute directly to one or more objectives identified by these joint ventures, meaning applicants should clearly connect their proposed work to the priorities and conservation outcomes these regional partnerships are pursuing.
Funding is offered through discretionary awards using either cooperative agreements or grants, with an emphasis on environmental and natural resources work as well as science and technology activities and other research and development. The program anticipates making around 10 awards, supported by an estimated total funding pool of $200,000. Individual award sizes are expected to range from a floor of $5,000 up to a ceiling of $75,000, so proposals can be relatively small and targeted or larger and more comprehensive, as long as they fit within those limits and align with joint venture objectives.
A key requirement of this opportunity is cost sharing. Projects must include a 1:1 non-federal match, meaning every federal dollar requested must be matched by one dollar from non-federal sources. That match can typically be provided through cash contributions, eligible third-party support, or other allowable non-federal resources, but applicants need to plan for this early since it affects the total project budget and feasibility. Because this is a joint-venture-driven program, the cost-share approach also reflects the broader partnership model: federal funding is intended to leverage investment from states, tribes, local governments, nonprofits, universities, and other partners.
Eligible activities cover a broad set of bird conservation needs, including research, monitoring, evaluation, outreach, and habitat implementation. In practical terms, that can include studies that improve understanding of migratory bird populations or habitat use, monitoring programs that track population trends or habitat outcomes, evaluation work that measures whether conservation actions are delivering expected results, outreach that builds support or participation in conservation, and habitat projects that protect, restore, or enhance key areas for migratory birds. The opportunity is broadly open to applicants (unrestricted eligibility), though applicants are still expected to follow any detailed eligibility or proposal guidance included in the full announcement and the joint venture cost share proposal process.
The opportunity was posted and created on October 1, 2008, with an application deadline of November 14, 2008. It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FWS R3 JV08 1 and CFDA 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures). For those needing assistance accessing the announcement or navigating the process, the listed point of contact is Barbara Pardo, Region 3 Joint Venture Coordinator, reachable by phone at 612-713-5433.
