Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00446
The Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (NMBCA) Grants program is a federal, competitive grant opportunity run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support on-the-ground conservation projects that benefit neotropical migratory birds and the habitats they depend on throughout their annual life cycle. The program is designed to fund practical conservation work across a wide geographic range, including the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean, reflecting the reality that many migratory bird species rely on connected habitats across multiple countries for breeding, migration stopovers, and wintering grounds. Projects funded under this program generally focus on protecting, restoring, and managing habitat, and can also include efforts that reduce threats and improve long-term conservation outcomes for these species.
This opportunity is administered by the FWS Division of Bird Habitat Conservation (DBHC), which manages the grant competition and oversees the full process from application intake to award administration. Proposals are submitted through Grants.gov, and the program operates on a single funding cycle each year, meaning applicants must plan around one annual application window rather than multiple rounds. Final project selections are made by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, indicating that awards are ultimately determined at the agency leadership level after proposals move through the program review and selection process.
From the provided opportunity details, this is a discretionary grant (not a formula-based allocation), listed under the natural resources funding activity category and associated with CFDA number 15.635. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, which typically indicates that a broad range of applicant types may apply, though applicants still must comply with the program rules and any requirements described in the full notice. The funding opportunity number is F17AS00446. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $200,000, and the opportunity anticipated making about 30 awards in that cycle. The original closing date for the referenced cycle was November 7, 2017, and the opportunity record was created on September 6, 2017.Apply for F17AS00446
