Opportunity Summary:
The NAWMP Implementation IIC opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS IIC 1) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement award, not a competitive grant solicitation. There is no full announcement tied to this notice, and it is explicitly not a request for proposals. The Service states its intent to award a fixed amount of $73,050 (both the award floor and ceiling) to Ducks Unlimited, Inc., a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with an anticipated total of one award and no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The purpose of the award is to provide operational support and coordination for the early stages of implementing the 2012 revision of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP). NAWMP is an international conservation framework shared by Canada, the United States, and Mexico, aimed at stopping declines and restoring waterfowl populations across North America by protecting, enhancing, and managing wetland and upland habitats. Oversight and strategic direction for NAWMP-related activities are provided by the international NAWMP Committee.
A key focus of the 2012 NAWMP revision was better integration across the main pillars of waterfowl conservation. That includes linking population and harvest management with habitat conservation, while also addressing “people†goals such as engagement, support, and participation from stakeholders and the broader public. To move that integration forward and keep major sectors of waterfowl management aligned, the NAWMP Committee created an Interim Integration Committee. This award is intended to ensure that committee has the staffing, coordination, and administrative backbone needed to function effectively during the initial implementation phase.
Under the cooperative agreement, Ducks Unlimited is expected to provide active leadership and coordination for the NAWMP Interim Integration Committee. In practical terms, that means supplying necessary staff time, administrative support, and physical/operational support (such as meeting logistics and coordination functions), and ensuring consistent reporting back to the NAWMP Committee. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service anticipates “substantial involvement and direction†in the work, rather than a hands-off relationship typical of many standard grants.
The notice also explains the legal and policy basis for the Service’s participation in NAWMP activities. It cites the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703-712), which authorizes appropriations and actions to carry out U.S. obligations under international migratory bird conventions, and the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 4401-4412), which emphasizes coordinated action among governments, private organizations, landowners, and citizens and specifically identifies NAWMP as an important framework for implementation. The Service notes that the work supported through this agreement will benefit migratory waterfowl and other priority bird species that fall under its responsibilities, particularly under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted February 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of February 20, 2013, and an archive date of February 21, 2013. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and CFDA 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures). The listed agency contact for questions is David Gordon, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, at 703-358-2025.
