Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Joint Ventures opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00254) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) discretionary funding notice for a cooperative agreement, but it is not an open, competitive grant. The agency issued a formal Notice of Intent to Award to Ducks Unlimited, Inc. under specific Department of the Interior authorities (505 DM 2.14 B(2) and B(4)), and the posting explicitly states that no competition is expected and that prospective applicants should not apply. In practical terms, the notice is mainly a public transparency step documenting the government decision to fund a named recipient rather than a solicitation seeking new proposals.
The purpose of the award is to support conservation work carried out through the Pacific Bird Habitat Joint Venture (PBHJV). The funded effort is meant to advance the PBHJV business model by backing core joint venture functions such as conservation planning, designing and implementing habitat projects, and evaluating outcomes through assessment and monitoring. The activity scope described is broad and covers the operational and technical work needed to run a large, partnership-based conservation program, including administration and coordination, outreach and communications, habitat management activities, planning and prioritization, research, monitoring, and evaluation.
A key emphasis is alignment with major continental and regional bird conservation strategies. The work supported under this agreement is expected to contribute to the objectives of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan as well as other major bird conservation plans, reinforcing that the funding is intended to produce measurable habitat and population benefits consistent with established migratory bird conservation priorities. Additional context about the PBHJV and its programs is referenced through the joint venture website (pacificbirds.org).
From the posted source data, the opportunity was created and posted on June 7, 2016, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2016. The anticipated funding level lists an award ceiling of $641,230 and an expectation of one award, which matches the stated intent to make a single, directed award to Ducks Unlimited, Inc. The activity categories associated with the listing include education, environment, and science and technology/research and development, and the CFDA number attached to the opportunity is 15.637. Although an eligibility category is shown (nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that eligibility is effectively moot here because the award is already designated for a specific organization and applications are not being accepted.
