Grant Description: The Black Duck Joint Venture (BDJV) is a partnership-based conservation program under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan that promotes the conservation of Black Ducks by providing greater knowledge for effective management. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a partner in the BDJV, administers grants and cooperative agreements on a competitive basis for projects/studies that advance both our and the general scientific community's understanding of Black Duck ecology and management. On behalf of the BDJV, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking proposals addressing any aspect of black duck ecology and management from interested parties, but proposals that address priority research needs (see full announcement) will have a greater probability of funding. Proposals must be submitted via email to the agency contact (listed above) via email by 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time February 2, 2011 to ensure expeditious and efficient review. The Government does recognize that some applicants may not have access to email and in those cases we will accept proposals by fax or mail providing they are postmarked by 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time February 2, 2011. All proposals should be submitted as a single pdf Document (do not submit the budget as a separate file). Applicants must also complete and submit Standard Form 424 with their proposal. Applications will be evaluated and scored by the BDJV Technical Committee during their February 2011 meeting. A suite of proposals receiving the highest scores will be recommended to the BDJV Management Board for funding approval. The BDJV Management Board will make their decisions in March 2011 and Principal Investigators informed of the funding decisions in April 2011.
