Funding; Fish and Wildlife NBMCA Grants; November 2, 2009

Agency

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) Division of Bird Habitat Conservation (DBHC) is responsible for managing the NMBCA grants program and administers all grants. Applicants submit project proposals to the DBHC during the program's one funding cycle per year, and the proposals are reviewed for eligibility. A panel of experts reviews eligible project proposals and makes recommendations for funding to the FWS Director, who selects the projects for funding.

For the purposes of this program, a neotropical migratory bird is one that breeds in or migrates through the United States, at least to some extent, and spends the non-breeding season in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, or South America. Birds from all taxa are included, so that proposals may benefit land birds, waterbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, raptors, and others.
