Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00279
This grant opportunity, titled "Implementation of activities in the 2017 Prairie Pothole Joint Venture Implementation Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00279), is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of the Interior) discretionary cooperative agreement focused on advancing wetland and grassland conservation work in the Prairie Pothole region. The overall purpose is to support actions that directly or indirectly expand waterfowl hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities by conserving habitat, improving knowledge needed for better management decisions, and engaging the public, including young people, in waterfowl-related outdoor activities.
The funding can be used across a practical mix of conservation work, including conservation planning, project development, and on-the-ground implementation. It also explicitly supports targeted communications, outreach, and events, with room for youth-oriented programming such as youth hunting opportunities. In other words, the program is not limited to habitat work alone; it is designed to connect habitat outcomes with public benefits like improved recreation and stronger participation in conservation traditions.
A major component of the effort is the delivery of Fish and Wildlife Service wetland and grassland conservation easements. This includes the full set of activities needed to put easements in place and keep them moving efficiently: landowner outreach and contact, negotiating and developing easement agreements, and administering those agreements. The intent here is to protect priority habitats through legally binding, long-term conservation tools, working cooperatively with private landowners.
The opportunity also funds research aimed at improving conservation effectiveness in cropland-dominated landscapes. Ducks Unlimited and partners propose a collaborative research venture that evaluates how waterfowl broods use wetlands embedded in agricultural areas and how that use relates to invertebrate populations and the types and structure of wetland vegetation. Two graduate student positions are supported to carry out this work. The expected outcome is actionable information that conservation organizations can use to guide future planning and management decisions, especially in settings where wetlands exist within intensive farming systems and managers need clearer guidance on what habitat conditions most benefit brood-rearing waterfowl.
Administratively, this notice is a single-source intent to award to Ducks Unlimited based on Department of the Interior policy provisions tied to unsolicited proposals and unique qualifications. The opportunity was posted July 30, 2018, with an original closing date of August 6, 2018. The award ceiling listed is $90,000, and the notice indicates up to five expected awards. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.637, and eligibility is described broadly in the posting as "Others," with further clarification typically provided in the full eligibility notes for the announcement.Apply for F18AS00279
