Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00233
The WVNWRC Streaked Horned Lark Project Assistance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00233) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It is issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would typically work in close coordination with the agency rather than simply receiving funds with minimal federal involvement. The activity is categorized under Education (CFDA 15.676), reflecting that the main outcome is not only on-the-ground conservation support but also a structured, career-building experience for a youth participant.
The central purpose of the award is to enable the Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex (WVNWRC) to bring on one full-time youth placed at William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge for an 18-week term. This position is intended to strengthen the refuge complex's capacity to monitor the population of the streaked horned lark, a species listed as federally threatened. Population monitoring in this context generally involves field surveys and data collection to track presence, abundance, breeding activity, and habitat use, all of which feed into management decisions and recovery efforts for the species.
In addition to streaked horned lark monitoring, the youth position is designed to support a broader set of refuge priorities. The description notes that the participant would also assist with other biological work, habitat management activities, and outreach duties. Practically, that could include helping with vegetation or habitat assessments, supporting restoration or maintenance tasks tied to wildlife habitat objectives, participating in data entry and basic analysis, and contributing to public-facing education or communication efforts that help explain refuge conservation work to visitors and local communities.
The opportunity was open to unrestricted applicants, meaning any type of entity could apply (for example, nonprofits, educational institutions, government entities, or other eligible organizations), subject to any extra eligibility details that would have been provided in the full announcement text. Only one award was expected, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $10,502. The posting was created on June 6, 2019, with an original application deadline of June 11, 2019, indicating a short turnaround typical of small, targeted cooperative agreements meant to quickly fill a specific seasonal or term-limited staffing need.
Overall, this is a small, focused award aimed at pairing workforce development with conservation delivery: funding a single full-time youth term so the refuge complex can expand its capacity to monitor a threatened bird species while also supporting related field biology, habitat stewardship, and outreach work at William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge.Apply for F19AS00233
