Arctic Goose Joint Venture Request for Proposals 2014-15

The Arctic Goose Joint Venture (AGJV) is a partnership-based conservation program under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan that promotes the conservation of northern-nesting geese by providing greater knowledge for effective management. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a partner in the AGJV, administers grants, purchase orders, and contracts on a competitive basis for projects/studies that advance the general scientific community's understanding of goose ecology and management and is seeking proposals from interested parties. The AGJV is receptive to funding annual projects as well as a limited number of multi-year (up to 5 year) projects. Successful multi-year projects will be funded in 1-year increments, subject to annual review, demonstration of suitable progress, and availability of funds. After 5 years of consecutive funding, those projects may reapply and be re-evaluated based on their continued merit.
