Opportunity Summary:
The Prairie Pothole Joint Venture (PPJV) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 MB080082) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary funding announcement focused on conserving migratory birds by protecting, managing, and restoring wetlands and associated upland habitats across the Prairie Pothole Region. The work is tied directly to priorities laid out in the 2005 PPJV Implementation Plan and later updates, meaning the funded activities are intended to advance an established, science-based regional strategy rather than support stand-alone or unrelated conservation projects. The program emphasis is on practical, on-the-ground habitat conservation, including wetlands and the surrounding grasslands/uplands that are essential for breeding, nesting, and migration staging habitat for a wide range of migratory bird species.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during project implementation (such as coordination, technical input, or oversight) rather than a simple pass-through grant. The funding activity category is listed under Environment and Natural Resources, with a specific note that the purpose is conservation of migratory birds in the United States. The relevant CFDA listing is 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures, which aligns this opportunity with the broader national network of joint ventures that coordinate habitat conservation through partnerships and shared implementation plans.
This particular announcement is set up as a single-source award. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the announcement specifies that it is intended specifically for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. In other words, this was not a competitive solicitation open to multiple applicants; it was a targeted federal-state agreement to support PPJV implementation actions within North Dakota or in coordination with PPJV priorities. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the single-source structure.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated total funding of $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $30,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so the recipient was not required by the announcement to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award (though cooperative conservation projects often still leverage partner contributions even when not formally required). Key dates show it was posted on September 4, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 5, 2008, and an archive date of October 5, 2008, reflecting the administrative nature of a short-window, single-source notice rather than an extended competitive application period.
For additional context or supporting materials, the announcement points to the USFWS Region 6 Migratory Bird Division website as an information resource. The listed federal contact for access issues is Andrea Meyer, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 303-236-5412, with an email referenced in the notice.
