Opportunity Summary:
The Support of East Asian Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00125) is a discretionary grant posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS), specifically out of Region 7. Its core aim is to strengthen the capacity of the East Asian - Australasian Flyway Partnership Secretariat (EAAFP) to carry out its mission of recognizing, conserving, and improving management of migratory waterbirds and the habitats they rely on across the East Asian - Australasian Flyway. The Flyway is one of the worlds major migratory routes, and the opportunity is framed around supporting collaborative conservation that benefits both biodiversity and people.
This funding is grounded in several long-standing federal wildlife authorities, including the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The grant is issued under CFDA 15.655 (Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956), reflecting the programs broader focus on fish and wildlife conservation, coordination, and migratory bird protection. The description emphasizes working with partners to conserve, enhance, and improve understanding of the ecology of migratory bird species and their habitats, which can include activities such as coordination among stakeholders, conservation planning, information sharing, and other Secretariat-support functions that help turn regional conservation goals into practical on-the-ground outcomes.
A key point of this notice is that it is not an open competition. It is a single-source financial assistance agreement authorized under 505 DM 2.14(B), meaning the agency intends to make one award to a specific organization rather than solicit proposals from the general public. Even though the eligibility category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice explicitly states the government does not intend to accept proposals from anyone other than the organization already identified by the agency. In practice, that makes this announcement informational rather than an invitation to apply.
The opportunity was posted on March 7, 2016, with a closing date of March 29, 2016. The anticipated award count is one, with an award ceiling of $30,000. The funding activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, consistent with the projects emphasis on migratory waterbird conservation and habitat protection along the Flyway. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted support to help the EAAFP Secretariat advance international and cross-boundary coordination for migratory waterbirds and their habitats, reinforcing shared conservation priorities across multiple countries and jurisdictions in the Flyway.
