Opportunity Summary:
The Sonoran Joint Venture (SJV) FY12 Awards Program was a competitive grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to advance bird conservation work within the Sonoran Joint Venture boundary area. Its core purpose was to fund projects that help investigate, conserve, restore, or better manage birds and the habitats they rely on in the region covered by the SJV. The program emphasized practical conservation outcomes as well as building the knowledge and partnerships needed to sustain long-term bird and habitat conservation.
Funding under this opportunity was available for a wide range of project types as long as they aligned with the SJV mission and objectives. Eligible project activities included on-the-ground habitat management and restoration, research aimed at addressing key conservation questions, and monitoring efforts to track bird populations or habitat conditions over time. It also supported people-focused components such as education, outreach, community involvement, professional training, planning efforts that guide conservation action, and even ecotourism initiatives where they meaningfully contribute to conservation goals. In other words, the program was not limited to biological fieldwork; it also recognized that conservation depends on informed communities, coordinated planning, and trained practitioners.
The opportunity was categorized as a discretionary natural resources grant. The agency expected to make about eight awards, with a total estimated program funding level of $50,000. Individual awards were relatively small, ranging from a floor of $1,000 up to a ceiling of $10,000, which suggests the program was designed to seed or support targeted projects, pilot efforts, local initiatives, or discrete components of larger conservation programs. Importantly, there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, making it more accessible to applicants who might not have substantial non-federal matching funds available.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been provided in the full announcement. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures, which aligns with the SJV focus on collaborative conservation for migratory birds and their habitats.
Key dates for the FY12 cycle were straightforward: the opportunity was posted and created on January 13, 2012, and applications were due by February 15, 2012. The announcement was later archived on March 16, 2012. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or seeking guidance, the listed contact was Carol Beardmore, Science Coordinator, reachable by phone at 602-242-0525 ext. 248, with an email contact indicated in the announcement. An additional information link pointed applicants to the SJV website for supporting materials and program context.
