Opportunity Summary:
The WHMSI Pathway grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: WHMSI 3) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.640, Wildlife Without Borders (Latin America and the Caribbean). It was posted on September 23, 2010, with a closing date of October 23, 2010, and an archive date of November 22, 2010. The total estimated funding listed is $24,941, with one expected award. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, although the notice does not specify the exact match ratio in the summary data provided.
This opportunity is not an open, competitive funding announcement. There is explicitly no application process because it is a notice of intent to make a single-source award under the agency justification referenced as 505 DM 2.14. The announcement states that the intended recipient has a unique ability to carry out the proposed tasks, and it identifies the Rainforest Alliance as the only eligible recipient.
The funded work focuses on sustaining and expanding the WHMSI Pathway, a communications and information platform that supports conservation of migratory species across the Americas. The recipient is expected to maintain and grow the WHMSI Pathway by adding bilingual (English and Spanish) profiles of Wildlife Without Borders (WWB) grantees to the Eco Index, keeping project information current and accessible. The work also includes adding new materials and updating existing resources in the Projects and Tools database, aiming to make practical conservation information easier to find and use.
In addition to database and profile updates, the project emphasizes outreach and knowledge-sharing. The recipient will publish and broadly disseminate interviews and articles highlighting migratory species conservation initiatives, create and distribute a bilingual WHMSI Pathway Update email newsletter, and write reviews of relevant conservation reports and websites. Another major component is the ongoing maintenance and promotion of the WHMSI Forum, which functions as a space for information exchange and networking among practitioners working on migratory species issues.
A notable proposed expansion within the scope of work is the development and publication of a comprehensive directory of non-governmental organizations active in conserving key migratory groups throughout the Americas. The directory is intended to cover organizations working on migratory birds, sea turtles, butterflies, bats, whales, and fish, creating a centralized reference that can strengthen collaboration, improve visibility of ongoing efforts, and help connect funders, practitioners, and partners across countries and conservation topics.
