Opportunity Summary:
The Sea Duck Joint Venture FY16 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00306) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding program supporting conservation work carried out through the Sea Duck Joint Venture, a partnership effort operating under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to fund collaborative projects that advance the conservation of sea ducks and their habitats through coordinated, science-based planning and implementation. The activity focus sits at the intersection of environment and natural resources, and it also explicitly includes science and technology and other research and development, which signals that proposals could reasonably include applied research, monitoring, assessment, decision support, or other technical work that helps partners prioritize and deliver conservation outcomes.
The award mechanism allowed under the announcement included both cooperative agreements and standard grants, indicating that funded work could range from projects where the federal agency is more substantially involved (common with cooperative agreements) to more independent grant-style project execution. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The maximum possible award (the ceiling) was $150,000, while the minimum possible award (the floor) was $5,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal match readily available and can make it easier for smaller organizations or academic groups to compete.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted and the text states that all potential applicants were eligible, meaning the competition was open to a broad range of entities (for example, nonprofits, universities, local or state governments, tribal entities, and potentially private organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures, which places it within a larger federal framework supporting joint venture partnerships that coordinate migratory bird conservation at regional and continental scales.
Key dates for the FY16 competition were: the opportunity was posted and created on July 1, 2015, and the application deadline was September 2, 2015 (both the original and current closing date matched). The archive date was December 1, 2015, indicating when the listing was removed from active posting. Applicants seeking the full announcement and any detailed requirements were directed to an additional information page hosted by FWS Alaska at http://www.fws.gov/alaska/fundingopportunity.htm. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed point of contact was Katherine Smiley at FWS, reachable by phone at 907-786-3412 or by email at KatherineSmiley@fws.gov.
