Opportunity Summary:
The Walker River Bird Surveys and Research Coordination grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00425) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608). Posted on September 4, 2014, and closing on September 14, 2014 (with an archive date of September 15, 2014), the opportunity made approximately $99,995 available in total funding. The announcement listed no formal award ceiling or floor, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
The project purpose focused on building a strong, system-wide understanding of breeding birds associated with riparian and wetland habitats along the Walker River, with an emphasis on using that information to evaluate restoration outcomes over time. The agency framed the work around three connected objectives: first, conducting an inventory of the breeding bird community in riparian areas to establish a clear baseline of species presence, distribution, and breeding activity; second, designing and implementing a long-term monitoring program that can be repeated consistently across years and locations, allowing managers to track trends and directly measure whether riparian restoration actions are improving habitat conditions and bird responses; and third, developing habitat models that link bird occurrence or abundance to habitat features, so that restoration effectiveness can be assessed more efficiently and with a clearer understanding of which habitat attributes are driving ecological results.
In practical terms, the opportunity supported coordinated field surveys and research planning aimed at generating actionable data for restoration effectiveness monitoring. By combining an initial inventory with a repeatable monitoring framework and predictive or explanatory habitat modeling, the project was structured to help land and wildlife managers compare conditions before and after restoration, identify which restoration techniques are working best, and prioritize future restoration or maintenance actions in riparian and wetland areas.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category fell under natural resources. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov, and technical or access assistance was directed to Misty Summers (Budget Technician/COR) at 775-265-2425 or MistySummers@fws.gov.
