JAM Presentation: Developing a Successful Project Permit Proposal

Developing a Successful Project Permit Proposal

Joint Annual Meeting 2017 of the AZ and NM Chapters of the American Fisheries Society and The Wildlife Society

Presented by:
Samantha Ferguson, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish AND Chrissy Kondrat-Smith, Arizona Game & Fish Department

Creating a substantive project proposal in the state scientific collecting permit application process is the responsibility of everyone who would like to obtain scientific permit and maintain positive relationship with the permitting agency (federal or state). Federal and State agencies deny or return more applications due to the lack of an incomplete or poorly presented project proposal.  Additionally, in this era of greater transparency in governmental activities, a person’s proposals become public documents the second it is submitted and subject to scrutiny by other individuals and agencies.

In general, academic researchers and agency biologists generally understand how to prepare a passable project proposal, but most applicants do not, due to misunderstandings.

This workshop experience will enlighten veteran applicants on what they have been missing that could strengthen their project requests and teach the newer applicants what mistakes not to make.  Each representative will cover most common mistakes and favored project types followed by the opportunity for open discussion and individual one-on-one time.

Don’t hesitate to bring your scientific permit license application/proposal to this workshop for one-on-one advice!
