Monitoring Southwestern Willow Flycatcher | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Monitoring Southwestern Willow Flycatcher" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00148) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cooperative agreement focused on bird monitoring and applied wildlife research at two National Wildlife Refuges in Nevada: Desert National Wildlife Refuge and Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge. The core purpose is to conduct structured monitoring surveys for the southwestern willow flycatcher, a high-concern riparian songbird, along with other Nevada Conservation Priority bird species. The monitoring is explicitly tied to habitat restoration work, with surveys planned to establish conditions before restoration (pre-restoration surveys in 2014) and then to measure outcomes after restoration (post-restoration surveys in 2018). In practical terms, the project is designed to produce baseline data, document changes over time, and help the refuges evaluate whether restoration actions improved habitat use, occupancy, or other indicators of success for target bird species.

Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. That designation signals an expectation of substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, which often includes coordination on study design, survey protocols, reporting, and integration of results into refuge management decisions. The total planned funding is $77,120, and the award amount is fixed: the award ceiling and floor are both $77,120. Only one award was expected.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted in a general sense, meaning any type of entity could theoretically be eligible, but the announcement makes an important clarification: it is a notice of intent to award as a single-source action, with no competition expected, and the public is instructed not to apply. In other words, even though the listing appears on Grants.gov, it functions as a formal public notice that the agency intends to fund a specific recipient rather than run an open competition.

Timing details reflect how quickly this notice moved. It was posted and created on April 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 18, 2014, and it was archived on May 14, 2014. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.

For access issues or administrative questions, the contact listed is Joanne Hammaren, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 702-515-5454 or by email at joannehammaren@fws.gov. The additional information link points to the listing on Grants.gov.
