Opportunity Summary:
The Ramsar Convention Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RAMSAR2010) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, specifically tied to the agency's Division of International Conservation and its responsibilities under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (the Ramsar Convention). The purpose of the funding is to support activities that help the United States meet its obligations under this international wetlands agreement, with an emphasis on practical support such as facilitating training and enabling attendance at meetings connected to Ramsar-related work.
This opportunity is structured as a single-source announcement, meaning it is not a competitive grant open to multiple organizations. The award is being directed to one uniquely qualified recipient: the Ramsar Secretariat. Although the listing shows an eligible applicant category as a nonprofit without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the eligibility language is explicit that the only eligible applicant is the Ramsar Secretariat, and the funding is justified on the basis of that recipient's unique ability to carry out the required tasks and represent the Convention's institutional functions.
Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $2,000. The agency anticipated making up to three awards. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The funding instruments include grants, cooperative agreements, and an "other" category, with the opportunity primarily framed around project grants and cooperative agreements that would directly enable Ramsar-related training and participation in relevant meetings. The activity category is environmental, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.649, described as Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training).
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on January 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 31, 2010. The announcement was later archived on January 30, 2011. For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Melinda Clarke, International Affairs Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-358-2078, specifically for electronic access problems.
