Grant Description

The Sonoran Joint Venture (SJV) is pleased to announce the request for proposals for our 2010 Funding cycle of the SJV Awards Program. The objective of the SJV Awards Program is to support the investigation and conservation of birds and their habitats within SJV boundaries by providing funds through a competitive program. Proposals for projects that support the SJV mission and objectives are eligible for funding. This includes: habitat management, research, monitoring, education, community involvement, outreach, planning, ecotourism, and professional training. Proposals must address the objectives and recommendations of the SJV Bird Conservation Plan or Waterfowl Management Supplement. In addition, the SJV encourages the following: projects that are habitat oriented; projects that have funds leveraged and/or in-kind contributions; projects that have partnerships, especially new or non-traditional partnerships; projects that address threats that affect distribution and abundance of priority species and habitats; projects that address multiple species (however, we do encourage single species projects that address a specific SJV objective); projects that include multiple benefits especially in the areas of habitat, monitoring, research, outreach, planning, education, involvement of indigenous or local communities, and/or professional training; projects focusing on monitoring work that is part of a long-term project or is part of a Coordinated Bird Monitoring project; and projects that are a segment of consensus-built larger project.
