Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00202
The grant opportunity titled "Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation" (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00202) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of the Interior) cooperative agreement focused on research and conservation planning for migratory birds, specifically targeting golden eagles in the western United States. Although the listing appears under a broader migratory bird monitoring and conservation theme, the actual purpose is quite specific: it is intended to fund Boise State University to support the Western Golden Eagle Team (WGET) in developing a series of Ecoregional Conservation Assessments and Strategies for golden eagles across the western U.S. In practical terms, this means the work is aimed at organizing and synthesizing science and management information by region (ecoregion) to guide conservation priorities, identify risks and trends, and support coordinated planning for golden eagle protection and management.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning the agency has already selected the recipient and is documenting its intent to make a noncompetitive award. The announcement states that no competition is expected and instructs the public not to apply. The noncompetitive approach is justified under internal Department of the Interior policy references (505 DM 2.14 B(2) and B(4), cited in the notice), indicating that the decision to fund Boise State University is based on criteria that allow an exception to full and open competition under those provisions. As a result, even though the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted" in a general sense, the narrative clarification overrides that and makes clear the award is effectively sole-source to Boise State University for this project.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on technical direction, data needs, deliverables, review processes, or coordination with other partners like WGET. The activity category is listed as Environment, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.655. The announcement was created on April 20, 2017, with an original closing date of April 27, 2017, which aligns with how these notices are posted for transparency even when an application process is not actually being solicited.
Financially, the award ceiling is listed as $50,963, and the expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that it is a single-recipient agreement. In short, this is not a competitive grant opportunity for the broader public; it is a targeted, pre-identified award intended to support the development of region-by-region conservation assessment products and strategies for golden eagles in the western United States through Boise State University in collaboration with the Western Golden Eagle Team.Apply for F17AS00202
