Opportunity Summary:
The State of Michigan Statewide Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Productivity Flight Survey (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00114) is a discretionary grant opportunity released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.662 (Great Lakes Restoration). The project sits in the environmental funding activity category and was posted on February 26, 2015, with a closing date of March 5, 2015, and an archive date of March 6, 2015. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $57,232, which also served as the award ceiling; the award floor was listed as $0. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified.
The core purpose of the grant is to support a statewide aerial (flight) survey focused on bald eagle breeding productivity in Michigan. The survey work is designed to monitor known and existing bald eagle breeding areas, locate and document any newly established breeding areas, and collect standardized information on reproductive performance across nesting territories. Specifically, the survey targets key biological benchmarks in the breeding cycle, including whether a mating pair is occupying a nest site, whether eggs are laid, whether eggs are incubated, whether hatching occurs, and whether chicks successfully fledge. In practical terms, the effort is meant to produce consistent, statewide productivity data that can be used to track population status and trends, evaluate breeding success over time, and inform management and conservation decisions.
This notice was not structured as an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it functioned as a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Forest Resources Division. The announcement states there is no application process for other entities because the award is being issued without competition under the cited justification (505 DM 2.14B, 4). The stated rationale is that competition is not practical, since the Michigan DNR Forest Resources Division has operated the statewide bald eagle productivity flight survey for many years and therefore has the established program infrastructure, experience, and continuity necessary to carry out the work.
For reference and administrative details, the funding instrument type is a grant, and eligibility is effectively limited by the single-source intent, even though the listing includes state governments and an "others" category with clarification provided in the eligibility text. Additional information was available via Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Jeremy N. Moore at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (517-351-8318, Jeremynmoore@fws.gov).
