Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00451
The grant opportunity titled "Characterization of space use of birds utilizing newly-restored riparian buffer habitat" (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00451) is a discretionary Department of the Interior award administered through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency is expected to have an active role in the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal involvement. The opportunity sits within the Natural Resources and Information and Statistics activity areas (CFDA 15.608), reflecting that the work is both applied wildlife management and data-driven analysis.
The core purpose of the project is to study how birds, whether year-round residents or seasonal migrants, are using newly restored riparian buffer habitat located in the cantonment area of McConnell Air Force Base (McConnell AFB), and how that use relates spatially to the nearby airfield. In practical terms, the project is trying to map and understand where birds are spending time, moving, feeding, and staging in relation to the restored riparian corridor and the operational airfield environment. This is directly tied to Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) risk, because certain habitat features can attract birds or change their movement patterns in ways that increase the likelihood of bird-aircraft interactions. By quantifying the spatial relationship between the restoration areas and bird presence or movement near the airfield, the study aims to clarify whether and how riparian habitat management conducted off the airfield may influence aviation safety risk.
The anticipated outcome is actionable guidance for future habitat management decisions. The results are intended to inform how restored riparian buffers are maintained, adjusted, or managed over time to balance ecological goals with airfield safety requirements. Rather than being a purely academic study, it is framed as an applied assessment designed to support management practices at or near a military installation, using empirical observations of bird space use to guide decisions.
Funding for the project is relatively small and targeted, with an award ceiling of $70,000 and an expectation of a single award. The opportunity was created on September 11, 2017, with an original closing date of September 14, 2017, indicating a short application window and a likely pre-identified recipient or tightly scoped need. The notice specifies it is a single-source award made in accordance with DOI Policy 505 DM 2.14B, which generally signals that the award is not openly competed in the typical way and is being directed under an authorized exception. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the details to be clarified in the eligibility section of the full announcement, consistent with single-source or limited eligibility postings.
Overall, this opportunity funds a focused wildlife-space-use characterization effort at McConnell AFB, aimed at connecting riparian habitat restoration and management decisions to measurable bird use patterns and the practical implications for BASH risk near an active airfield.Apply for F17AS00451
