Projects and Funding
Request for Proposals
The AGJV is not currently accepting new proposals. Please check back in 2025.
Guidelines for Proposal Submissions and Evaluations
The Joint Venture’s role is to encourage and facilitate international and cross-flyway studies focusing on high-priority information needs for northern-nesting goose populations, as described in the Prospectus, Strategic Plan, and other guidance documents available from the AGJV Coordination Office.
Consequently, the AGJV will receive proposals in three categories:
- Informational – those requesting only technical review, advice on operations, or coordination with other related projects, and for inclusion in AGJV compendia;
- Endorsement – those that are seeking endorsement as an AGJV project, but not specifically requesting AGJV funds;
- Endorsement and Funding – those partially-funded or unfunded projects seeking endorsement as an AGJV priority and seeking AGJV assistance in locating financial cooperators.
When funding is available, requests for proposals by the AGJV, which outline highest priority information needs and submission deadlines, are posted to the AGJV website and other media. New requests for proposals typically occur every two years. Proposals will be given full review by the AGJV Technical Committee with an endorsement recommendation and priority designation if required. The Management Board considers the Technical Committee recommendation and funding request.
For request for proposals that are posted, applicants should follow the submission guidelines included in the announcement.
Any proposals should also be submitted to the AGJV Coordinator, in electronic format at email address below.
