Opportunity Summary:
The Partners In Flight Database opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00386) is a discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on natural resources, specifically migratory bird monitoring, assessment, and conservation under CFDA 15.655. It is structured as a single award grant with an estimated total funding amount of $38,000, and both the award ceiling and floor set at exactly $38,000, indicating a fixed-size award rather than a variable funding range. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
This posting is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. FWS issued it as a Notice of Intent to Award to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (RMBO) under the applicable policy authority referenced as 505 DM 2.14 B(4). Because the agency has already identified the intended recipient and does not anticipate competition, the announcement explicitly instructs other organizations not to apply.
The purpose of the funding is to support ongoing updates and maintenance of the Partners In Flight databases. These databases are used to manage and share bird population monitoring information and related conservation data products that support Partners In Flight initiatives. Additional background and context about the databases and their role in bird population monitoring is provided through RMBOs database information page (listed in the announcement).
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on August 16, 2012, created on August 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2012, and an archive date of August 27, 2012. While the listing includes an eligible applicant category (501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education), that eligibility detail is largely procedural here because the award is intended as a directed, non-competitive action.
