Opportunity Summary:
The Sonoran Joint Venture (SJV) FY11 Awards Program was a discretionary federal funding opportunity, offered through a cooperative agreement, intended to advance bird and habitat conservation within the geographic boundaries of the Sonoran Joint Venture. The program focused on supporting both investigation and on-the-ground conservation by awarding small grants through a competitive proposal process. In practical terms, it was designed to help organizations and individuals carry out targeted projects that align with the SJV mission, with an emphasis on tangible conservation benefits and better information for managing bird populations and their habitats.
The scope of eligible projects was intentionally broad, reflecting the many ways bird conservation work gets done. Proposals could cover habitat management and restoration, research and scientific studies, and monitoring efforts that track species or habitat conditions over time. The program also welcomed education-oriented projects, community involvement, outreach, and planning activities that build local capacity and support for conservation. In addition, the opportunity explicitly included ecotourism and professional training, recognizing that conservation outcomes are often strengthened by workforce development, informed communities, and sustainable economic activities tied to wildlife and habitat stewardship.
From a funding standpoint, the program anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $50,000 for the cycle. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $1,000 to a ceiling of $10,000, indicating the grants were meant to be relatively small and project-specific, potentially serving as seed money or targeted support for discrete deliverables rather than large, multi-year initiatives. Importantly, there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for participation and made the funding more accessible to smaller groups or projects that might not have dedicated matching funds.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The funding fell under the CFDA program number 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures, and the responsible agency area was identified as Migratory Birds. The opportunity was posted on December 3, 2010, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of February 1, 2011, and it was archived on March 3, 2011.
Applicants needing further details were directed to consult the SJV website via the additional information link in the announcement. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Carol Beardmore, Science Coordinator, reachable by phone at 602-242-0524 ext. 248, with an email address indicated in the source notice.
