2006 Sea Duck Joint Venture Request for Proposals: The Sea Duck Joint Venture (SDJV) is a partnership-based conservation program under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan that promotes the conservation of sea ducks by providing greater knowledge for effective management. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a partner in the SDJV, administers grants, purchase orders, and contracts on a competitive basis for projects/studies that advance both our and the general scientific communitys understanding of sea duck biology and ecology and is seeking proposals from interested parties. To be competitive for funding, proposals should provide at least a 1:1 match for SDJV funds. Currently the only source of general funding is U.S. Congress-appropriated funds directed to USFWS for SDJV use -- we are expected to demonstrate effective leveraging of these funds, preferably with non-U.S.-federal resources. Awards will be issued via purchase orders, cooperative agreements, intra- or inter-agency agreements based on a Service analysis of the nature of each selected project in light of the Federal Grants and Cooperative Agreements Act of 1977 (31 USC 6301-6308) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 17.5. Federal assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements) will be administered under the direction of 43CFR12. Acquisition instruments will be administered under the appropriate clauses of FAR part 52.
