Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00252
The Western Snowy Plover Nest Monitoring and Protection opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00252) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service grant that supports on-the-ground breeding season monitoring for the federally listed Western snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus) along the Oregon coast. The project focus is very specific: continuing established monitoring work across a defined stretch of shoreline from Sutton/Baker Beach to New River, Oregon. In practical terms, this kind of work typically centers on finding and tracking nests during the breeding season, documenting breeding activity and outcomes, and helping reduce nest failure by supporting protection measures consistent with existing management approaches for the species.
This award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. Cooperative agreements are often used when the Fish and Wildlife Service anticipates coordination on field protocols, data standards, reporting, or alignment with ongoing recovery and management actions. The program is categorized under environment, natural resources, and research and development-related activities, reflecting that the effort is both conservation-focused and data-driven, producing information that can guide management decisions and long-term recovery strategies.
Funding for the project is modest and targeted, with an award ceiling of $57,125 and an expectation of a single award. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.678. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any entity type), although the notice indicates that eligibility may be further clarified in the opportunity text under additional information, which is a common way of narrowing participation based on project needs, qualifications, or partnership requirements.
The timeline indicates this was a fast-turn opportunity when originally posted, created on June 19, 2019 with an original closing date of June 26, 2019. The notice also states that a recipient has already been selected, meaning the competition is no longer open and the funding decision has been made. Overall, the grant is best understood as continuation support for a specific coastal monitoring effort already underway, aimed at maintaining consistent annual data collection and nest protection work for Western snowy plovers on Oregon beaches within the defined project area.Apply for F19AS00252
