Opportunity Summary:
The Northern Great Plains Joint Venture II (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00139) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures. Its core purpose is to fund work that keeps conservation efforts active and coordinated across the Northern Great Plains Joint Venture (NGPJV) landscape, with a specific emphasis on protecting and improving key habitats used by migratory birds. The agreement is designed to support the practical, on-the-ground and program-wide activities needed to sustain habitat conservation over time, rather than focusing on a single isolated research task or one-off project.
The funded work centers on several major categories of activity. First, it supports NGPJV coordination, meaning the planning and partnership management needed to align federal, state, nonprofit, and other partners around shared habitat goals in the Joint Venture area. Second, it includes communications, which typically covers information-sharing among partners, outreach that helps encourage participation in conservation programs, and dissemination of conservation priorities and results. Third, the opportunity includes support for projects, implying direct backing for conservation actions and related implementation efforts that maintain or enhance migratory bird habitat. Finally, a major component is biological planning, monitoring, and evaluation. That includes the science and technical work used to set habitat objectives, track ecological outcomes, measure progress, and adapt strategies based on what monitoring data shows is or is not working.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this was structured as a grant within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, with the agency expecting a single award. The estimated total funding amount was $295,000, which also served as the award ceiling, while the listed award floor was $114,890. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting and creation date were April 4, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 5, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on May 4, 2013. The very short open period and the eligibility language indicate this was effectively a targeted award rather than a broadly competed solicitation.
Eligibility was limited in practice. Although the listing shows “Others” as eligible applicants, the notice clarifies that the grant was being awarded to Ducks Unlimited, Inc. under the Northern Great Plains Joint Venture Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit, indicating a specific partnership and recipient arrangement tied to the Joint Venture framework. For additional information or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Scott McLeod at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (701-355-8526, scottmcleod@fws.gov).
