AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This announcement is for funding being awarded to South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, Ducks Unlimited, and the Nebraska Community Foundation through the Prairie Pothole, Intermountain West, and Rainwater Basin  Joint Ventures.
Description: Joint Ventures (JVs) are regional, public/private partnerships for advancing the conservation of important bird habitats within the Mountain-Prairie Region (the states of Kansas, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah only) through biological planning, implementation of habitat conservation actions, focused monitoring, and evaluation of the planning and implementation processes, and communication. Management Boards provide general oversight and guidance of the partnership. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provides basic administrative funding to the JVs to cover costs associated with coordination; planning; monitoring and evaluation; communications and outreach; and project development and implementation. The JVs may in turn provide federal assistance for activities within those categories to address the partnership&#239;&#191;&#189;s needs and objectives. Contact the JV Coordinator to discuss. JV Coordinator: 303-236-4412. Based upon the USFWS Project Officer determination, some agreements may be issued with a period of performance up to five years; and subject to availability of funds, funding on some agreements may be increased during the life of the agreement.
