Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Joint Ventures Program, USFWS Southwest Region, Sonoran Joint Venture (SJV) FY 2014 Awards Program (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00052) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures). The core purpose of this program is to support the investigation, management, and long-term conservation of birds and the habitats they rely on within the geographic boundaries of the Sonoran Joint Venture. Funding is awarded through a competitive process, meaning proposals are reviewed against program goals and selected based on how well they advance the SJV mission and objectives.
This opportunity is aimed at practical, on-the-ground conservation as well as the science and community work needed to make conservation effective over time. Eligible projects can cover a wide range of activities, including habitat management and restoration, research that addresses key bird or habitat questions, and monitoring efforts that track bird populations or habitat conditions. The program also recognizes that conservation outcomes often depend on people, partnerships, and planning, so it explicitly allows proposals focused on education, outreach, community involvement, professional training, planning efforts, and even ecotourism when it supports conservation goals. In other words, the program is not limited to direct habitat work; it also supports the supporting infrastructure that helps conservation programs succeed and persist.
Award amounts are relatively small and geared toward targeted, well-defined projects, with typical awards described as ranging from about $5,000 to $10,000. The maximum award (ceiling) listed is $10,000, and there is no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The announcement indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make it more accessible to smaller organizations or partners that may not have the ability to provide non-federal match. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full announcement.
Key dates for the FY 2014 cycle show the opportunity was posted and created on January 10, 2014, with an application closing date of January 31, 2014. The archive date is listed as April 30, 2014, indicating the announcement was later moved into an archived status after the cycle ended. Although the estimated total funding is listed as $0 in the data provided, that field is sometimes not populated reliably in listings, while the award ceiling and program description provide the clearest guidance on the scale of individual awards.
