Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00013
The Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00013) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It is specifically issued as a Notice of Single Source Award, meaning it is not a request for proposals and is not being competed openly. In practical terms, the agency is indicating that it intends to make one cooperative agreement award to a single recipient rather than soliciting applications from multiple organizations.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which signals substantial federal involvement in carrying out the work, rather than a more hands-off grant. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.655. The only eligible applicants listed are public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, pointing to a university-based partner as the intended recipient and reflecting the research-driven nature of the project.
The Fish and Wildlife Service outlines an active role for itself in supporting and shaping the project. Their responsibilities include helping analyze data from identified locations in New Mexico, providing logistical support to recipient staff (such as expert input and manuscript review), helping prioritize survey areas and assisting with data collection, and serving on a graduate student committee. Taken together, these duties suggest the agreement is designed to support field and analytical work related to migratory bird monitoring and assessment, while also contributing to applied conservation outcomes and student training.
Funding is modest and tightly defined. The estimated total program funding is $10,005, with an award ceiling of $10,005 and only one expected award. The opportunity was created on October 15, 2018, with an original closing date of October 22, 2018, reflecting a short administrative window that is typical of single-source announcements where the recipient is already identified and the posting serves primarily to meet public notice requirements.Apply for F19AS00013
