Opportunity Summary:
Migratory Bird Joint Ventures Midwest Region FY 2010 Opportunities is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Midwest Region) to support migratory bird conservation work carried out through two partnership-based initiatives: the Eastern Prairie Pothole Joint Venture and the Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture. The program is designed to fund projects that directly advance the goals and priorities set by one or both of these Joint Ventures, which are collaborative efforts among government agencies, nonprofits, tribes, and other partners focused on strategic bird habitat conservation.
The opportunity supports a range of eligible conservation activities connected to migratory birds, particularly work that strengthens how conservation decisions are made and implemented on the ground. Fundable project types include research (such as studies that address key information gaps affecting habitat or population management), monitoring (for example, tracking bird populations or habitat conditions over time), evaluation (assessing outcomes and effectiveness of habitat work or conservation strategies), outreach (communications and coordination that increase participation, understanding, or delivery of Joint Venture objectives), and habitat implementation (on-the-ground actions that protect, restore, enhance, or manage habitat important to migratory birds). A central requirement is that proposed work must align with and help deliver one or more objectives identified by the Eastern Prairie Pothole Joint Venture and/or the Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture.
Funding for this competition was estimated at a total of $200,000, with the agency expecting to make about 10 awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $75,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and the program is associated with CFDA number 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures), which is the federal assistance listing for this type of work.
A cost share (matching) requirement applies. Projects must provide an 11 non-federal cost share, meaning applicants need to contribute non-federal matching resources relative to the federal funds requested. In practice, this typically involves cash contributions, donated services, partner support, or other allowable non-federal sources that demonstrate shared investment in the project.
Eligibility is broad and includes nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, city or township governments, county governments, state governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This mix of eligible applicants reflects the Joint Venture model, which relies on multi-partner collaboration across public, private, academic, and tribal entities.
Key dates for the FY 2010 cycle show the opportunity was posted on September 25, 2009, with an application deadline (closing date) of November 13, 2009, and an archive date of December 13, 2009. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Barbara Pardo, Joint Venture Coordinator, at 612-713-5433, with an additional information link pointing to the Joint Venture website for further context on priorities and objectives.
