BDJV Special Research Need

archived

The Black Duck Joint Venture (BDJV) is a partnership-based conservation program under the North American Waterfowl Management Plan that promotes the conservation of Black Ducks by providing greater knowledge for effective management. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a partner in the BDJV, administers grants and purchase orders on a competitive basis for projects/studies that advance both our and the general scientific community's understanding of Black Duck ecology. The BDJV is seeking proposals to develop predict models of the impacts of economic development and climate change on the distribution and abundance of breeding black ducks in northern Quebec (North of the 49th parallel). The BDJV will accept multi-year proposals (up to 2 years), but will only fund the first year of the project under this Request for Proposals. The successful applicant will have to submit a second proposal as part of the BDJV 2011 Competitive Grant Program for additional funding if needed.
