Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) notice of intent to make a single-source award to the Mississippi Flyway Council, meaning it is not a competitive grant and there is no full public announcement inviting proposals. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), which signals that FWS expects to be actively involved in carrying out the work rather than simply providing funds and receiving reports.
The purpose of the agreement is to continue an ongoing cooperative project focused on monitoring several Canada goose populations that use the Mississippi Flyway. The work centers on coordinated population surveys in Manitoba and Ontario, where federal and state personnel collect key biological information such as nesting conditions, nest success, and overall population size. A major element highlighted in the notice is the breeding population survey for the Eastern Prairie Population of Canada geese in Manitoba, which specifically relies on substantial FWS participation: a Service pilot biologist and an aircraft are used to complete this survey work. That kind of direct operational involvement is a defining feature of why the instrument is a cooperative agreement.
The data produced through these surveys are described as critical for meeting U.S. management responsibilities under international and domestic migratory bird authorities, including the Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. In practical terms, this monitoring supports decisions about conservation measures and harvest management by ensuring agencies have current, credible population status information for geese moving through the Mississippi Flyway.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number FWS R9 MBM 9719 and CFDA 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation). FWS anticipated making one award with a total funding amount of $111,997, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $111,997, indicating a single, fixed award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. The posting date was April 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2011, and an archive date of May 19, 2011. Although the listing includes an eligible applicant category of "for profit organizations other than small businesses," the text makes clear the intended recipient is the Mississippi Flyway Council as the single source.
For questions or issues accessing materials, the listed contact is James Kelley, Mississippi Flyway Representative, at 612-713-5409 (work).
