Opportunity Summary:
The Sonoran Joint Venture (SJV) FY2010 Awards Program was a competitive grant and cooperative agreement opportunity aimed at supporting bird and habitat conservation work within the geographic boundaries of the Sonoran Joint Venture. The program’s core purpose was to fund projects that investigate, protect, manage, or improve habitats for birds, with a clear expectation that proposed work align with the SJV mission and produce practical conservation outcomes. While the focus is on birds and the landscapes they depend on, the program was broad in the types of activities it would support, recognizing that conservation often requires a mix of on-the-ground work, science, and public engagement.
Projects eligible for funding included habitat management and restoration, research, monitoring, education, outreach, planning efforts, ecotourism-related planning or development (when tied to conservation goals), community involvement, and professional training. A key requirement was that proposals directly address objectives and recommendations in the SJV Bird Conservation Plan or the Waterfowl Management Supplement. In other words, applicants could not simply propose a general wildlife or environmental project; they needed to show how the work advances the specific priority strategies, species, habitats, and conservation actions identified by SJV planning documents.
Within that framework, SJV highlighted several kinds of proposals as especially encouraged. Strong preference was given to habitat-oriented projects, particularly those that demonstrated leveraged funding or in-kind contributions, since this increases impact beyond the grant dollars. SJV also emphasized partnerships, with particular interest in new or non-traditional collaborations that expand conservation capacity or bring in new stakeholders. The program encouraged proposals that address threats affecting the distribution and abundance of priority species and habitats, and it favored projects that benefit multiple species. At the same time, it made room for single-species projects when they clearly tackled a specific SJV objective. Projects offering multiple benefits were also prioritized, especially those combining habitat work with monitoring, research, outreach, planning, education, indigenous or local community involvement, and professional training. For monitoring, SJV signaled interest in efforts that contribute to long-term monitoring or fit into a Coordinated Bird Monitoring approach, and it also welcomed proposals that represent a well-defined segment of a larger, consensus-built project rather than isolated one-off activities.
Administratively, this opportunity was listed as discretionary funding under the environment category, using grant and cooperative agreement instruments. The estimated total funding for the cycle was $50,000, with an anticipated eight awards. Individual awards ranged from a $1,000 floor to a $10,000 ceiling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, though leveraging other funds or in-kind support was clearly viewed as a competitive advantage. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to different applicant types, subject to any specific clarifications in the full announcement. The funding opportunity number was SJV FY10, tied to CFDA 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures). The opportunity was posted January 7, 2010, with an application closing date of February 1, 2010, and it was archived March 3, 2010.
