Opportunity Summary:
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Establishment Act grant opportunity (CFDA 15.663) titled "Suriname Shorebird Hunting Assessment and Enforcement" was a discretionary, single-award grant administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area. The project focus was Suriname, specifically addressing shorebird hunting and how improved data collection could better inform conservation and management decisions related to shorebird harvest. The central aim was to strengthen understanding of how many shorebirds are taken annually, which species are most affected, and where and how hunting occurs, so that conservation actions can be more targeted and effective.
The intent of the award was to develop and implement a new or improved survey approach for assessing shorebird hunting in Suriname. The announcement emphasizes that changes in survey methods were expected to produce more robust, species-level estimates of annual take. In practical terms, this means moving beyond broad or unreliable estimates and instead generating clearer numbers that differentiate among shorebird species. Better species-level data is critical because different shorebird species can have very different population trends, migration patterns, and vulnerability to harvest, and management responses depend heavily on which species are being taken and at what scale.
A key expected outcome of the work was the ability to evaluate the effects of Suriname harvest on shorebird populations and on broader shorebird harvest concerns. By improving the evidence base, the project would help determine whether current hunting pressure is sustainable and which species may require heightened attention. The opportunity also highlights the value of collecting information on hunting locations and harvest methods. That information was intended to support spatially explicit conservation actions, meaning conservation measures designed with a clear geographic focus. Examples of spatially explicit actions could include concentrating outreach, enforcement, monitoring, or habitat protection efforts in specific hunting hotspots, along key movement corridors, or in areas where particular methods are commonly used.
The funding structure was straightforward: an estimated total funding amount of $75,820, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $75,820, indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range. Only one award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically reduces barriers for eligible organizations by not requiring them to provide additional non-federal funds to secure the grant.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on July 30, 2014, with an original and final closing date of August 4, 2014, and it was archived on August 5, 2014, reflecting a short application window. The official funding opportunity number was F14AS00351, and additional details were referenced through Grants.gov.
