Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00140
The Department of the Interior, through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and its Division of Migratory Birds (Joint Ventures), announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Playa Lakes Joint Venture Partnership Base Operations." The opportunity was published on March 12, 2019, under Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00140, with an original application deadline of May 11, 2019. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance, such as coordination, technical input, or shared decision-making as the work is carried out.
The core purpose of the funding is to support the base operations of the Playa Lakes Joint Venture (PLJV) partnership. In practical terms, "base operations" typically refers to the foundational staffing, coordination, planning, partner engagement, and day-to-day functions that allow a Joint Venture partnership to operate effectively. Joint Ventures under the Migratory Bird Program are partnership-driven efforts that bring together federal and state agencies, tribes, local governments, non-profits, landowners, and other stakeholders to plan and deliver habitat conservation in priority landscapes. For the Playa Lakes region, the conservation emphasis commonly relates to habitat needs for migratory birds and associated wildlife in an area where wetlands, playas, grasslands, and agricultural landscapes can be critically important for migration, breeding, and wintering.
This opportunity is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.637 (a standard federal assistance listing tied to fish and wildlife-related conservation work). The announcement indicates one expected award, signaling that FWS intended to select a single recipient to carry out the partnership-level operational functions for PLJV for the award period. The award ceiling is listed as $702,000, meaning proposals could request up to that amount; final funding would depend on the submitted proposal, available appropriations, and the agency's final selection and negotiation.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of applicant entity (for example, non-profits, universities, state agencies, local governments, tribes, and potentially others), subject to any further clarifications that would have been provided in the full announcement's eligibility section. In many Joint Venture base-operations awards, the recipient serves as a host organization that can manage staff and finances, convene partners, support science and planning activities, and coordinate conservation delivery across the partnership geography in alignment with Joint Venture objectives and FWS migratory bird conservation priorities.
In summary, this grant opportunity offered up to $702,000 through a single cooperative agreement to fund the operational backbone of the Playa Lakes Joint Venture partnership, enabling ongoing collaboration, strategic habitat conservation planning, partner coordination, and related core functions that support migratory bird and habitat conservation outcomes across the Playa Lakes region.Apply for F19AS00140
