Opportunity Summary:
The Rio Grande Joint Venture Base Operations opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Southwest Region, funding solicitation intended to support the core, day-to-day capacity of the Rio Grande Joint Venture (RGJV). Joint ventures were originally created to help carry out the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, and they function as regional, self-directed partnerships that bring together federal, state, and local governments along with private organizations, corporations, and non-governmental conservation groups. The central idea is to coordinate conservation at a landscape scale so habitat work is guided by science and targeted to locations where it will have the biggest impact for migratory birds and other wildlife.
This funding is specifically for "base operations" rather than a single on-the-ground habitat construction project. In practical terms, base operations typically cover the staffing and the core functions that allow a joint venture partnership to operate effectively, such as coordinating partners, maintaining and advancing biologically based planning, supporting landscape conservation design, prioritizing habitat actions, and keeping the partnership organized and accountable to its goals. The RGJV itself was first established in 2008 and is governed by a Management Board made up of administrators from federal, state, and private-sector partners. That board structure is meant to ensure long-term commitment and to align the independent actions of many different organizations into a shared set of objectives for migratory bird conservation.
USFWS anticipates up to $288,000 in total funding and expects to make a single award. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which signals that USFWS expects to be substantially involved during the project. In this case, the federal role is built into the governance of the joint venture: USFWS is a member of the RGJV Management Board and participates in directing and managing the work, including approving modifications as needed. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, and eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full announcement.
Key administrative details from the notice include the Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00238 and the CFDA listing 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures). The opportunity falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category, was posted June 17, 2014, and had a closing date of July 16, 2014 (with an archive date of July 31, 2014). For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Greg Esslinger, Migratory Bird Management Operations Specialist, at 505-248-6876 or GregEsslinger@fws.gov.
