Pacific Coast Joint Venture | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Pacific Coast Joint Venture grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00177) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cooperative agreement intended to support conservation work carried out under the Pacific Coast Joint Venture (PCJV). Although it appears in a standard grants listing format, it is not an open, competitive funding opportunity. The announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to Ducks Unlimited, Inc., issued under the Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 DM 2.14 B(2) and B(4). Because the recipient has already been identified and no competition is expected, the notice clearly instructs others not to apply.

The purpose of the award is to provide financial support to Ducks Unlimited, Inc. to help implement the PCJV business model, with an emphasis on the full cycle of conservation delivery. That includes conservation planning (setting priorities and identifying where actions will have the greatest impact), project design and implementation (developing and carrying out habitat and conservation projects), and evaluation and assessment (measuring outcomes and improving future work). The PCJV framework is closely tied to large-scale bird and habitat conservation goals on the Pacific Coast, and funded activities are expected to align with the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and other major bird conservation plans.

The scope of work described is broad and programmatic, covering the kinds of tasks needed to run and deliver a regional joint venture partnership. Activities referenced in the notice include administration and coordination, outreach and communication, habitat management, technical planning, research, monitoring, and evaluation. In practice, that mix typically supports partnership coordination across agencies and NGOs, identification and prioritization of conservation actions, delivery of habitat improvements, and tracking whether conservation investments are producing measurable benefits for migratory birds and associated ecosystems. The notice directs readers to the PCJV website (www.pcjv.org/home/) for more background on the partnership and its conservation approach.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary cooperative agreement with an estimated total funding amount of $667,400. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $667,400, reflecting that the funding amount is effectively fixed for the anticipated single award. Only one award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement identified. The CFDA listing provided is 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures, which is the federal assistance program area that supports joint venture partnerships focused on bird habitat conservation.

The posting history shows it was posted on May 18, 2012, created May 24, 2012, with an original closing date of June 1, 2012, later updated to a closing date of June 7, 2012, and then archived on June 8, 2012. Even though it lists eligibility as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), that eligibility statement is largely academic here because the notice is not seeking proposals; it is documenting an intended, directed award to Ducks Unlimited, Inc.

For anyone trying to access the full announcement or having technical trouble retrieving it electronically, the notice provides a federal contact: Bonnie Bates, Grants Specialist, reachable at 503-231-6164 or via email at BonnieBates@fws.gov.
