Opportunity Information: Apply for F20AS00067
The Minnesota Breeding Trumpeter Swan Survey grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F20AS00067) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Midwest Region). It is set up as a single-source award, meaning it is intended to be issued without competition to one specific recipient: the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The total award amount is capped at $12,000, and the program anticipates making one award.
The purpose of the funding is to support a targeted wildlife monitoring effort focused on Trumpeter Swans in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is expected to design and carry out a survey during the spring and summer of 2020 to estimate both the abundance and the distribution of adult Trumpeter Swans in the northeast third of the state. In practical terms, this means the work is not simply a general observation effort, but a structured survey intended to produce defensible population estimates and an understanding of where adult swans are present across that region during the breeding and summering period.
The main deliverables are a formal report and a map product. The report is expected to lay out the survey design, the methods used to collect and analyze data, and the results. Results must include estimates of adult swan abundance along with associated precision (for example, a measure of statistical uncertainty such as confidence intervals or similar metrics that indicate how reliable the estimate is). In addition, the project must produce a map that delineates the estimated current summering range of Trumpeter Swans for the covered portion of Minnesota, helping clarify the geographic extent of swan use in that area.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under natural resources and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.647. Eligibility is limited to state governments, which aligns with the intended recipient being the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The opportunity was created on March 17, 2020, with an original closing date of March 23, 2020, reflecting a short turnaround consistent with a non-competitive, single-source award process.Apply for F20AS00067
