Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Coast Joint Venture Administration grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00216) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures. It was posted on June 5, 2014 (created June 4, 2014) with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2014, and it was archived on June 12, 2014. The announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to a single recipient, Ducks Unlimited, Inc., citing 505 DM 2.14 B(2) and B(4). Because of that, the agency states clearly that no competition is expected and applicants should not apply.
The purpose of the agreement is to fund Ducks Unlimited, Inc. to support conservation activities carried out through the Pacific Coast Joint Venture (PCJV). The work is tied to the PCJV business model, with an emphasis on conservation planning, project design and implementation, and evaluation and assessment. The funded scope is broad and includes the core operational and technical functions needed to run a joint venture partnership effort: administration, outreach and coordination, habitat management, landscape and project planning, research, monitoring, and evaluation. The announcement also notes that these activities should align with the objectives of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and other major bird conservation plans, reinforcing that the work is intended to contribute to coordinated, science-based bird habitat conservation across the Pacific Coast region. The PCJV website is provided for program background and context (www.pcjv.org/home/).
Funding is fixed to a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $653,390. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $653,390, which signals the agency anticipated one award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified for this opportunity. While the general eligibility category is listed as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the content of the notice makes it clear the award is intended solely for Ducks Unlimited, Inc. and is not open for competitive submissions.
For anyone needing access assistance with the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Bonnie Bates at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (BonnieBates@fws.gov).
