Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA APHIS 10028 WSNWRC00 21 0009
The FY21 Tribal Nations Wild Cervid CWD Opportunities grant is a 2021 discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS), specifically through APHIS Wildlife Services (WS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 10.028, and it was created on April 20, 2021 with an original application closing date of July 4, 2021. The central purpose of the program is to provide financial support to help Tribal governments strengthen efforts to address Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in wild cervids such as deer, elk, and related species, particularly on lands owned or managed by Tribal entities.
Up to $300,000 in total funding was made available under this opportunity to further develop and implement activities tied to wild cervid CWD surveillance, testing, management, and response. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at helping Tribes build or expand programs that look for CWD in wild populations (surveillance), collect and analyze samples (testing), make informed decisions and take actions to reduce disease spread or impact (management), and respond effectively when CWD is detected or suspected (response). The opportunity also emphasizes the development and evaluation of techniques and strategies to control CWD in wild cervids, meaning proposals could reasonably include piloting or assessing approaches that improve how CWD is monitored or mitigated under real field conditions on Tribal lands.
Eligibility is limited to Federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the applicant must have regulatory oversight or direct responsibility for wild cervids in the relevant area. The focus on regulatory oversight or direct responsibility signals that APHIS is looking to fund entities that can actually carry out wildlife disease activities on the ground and coordinate decisions related to wild cervid populations, rather than organizations without authority or management responsibility.
The notice also clarifies how this Tribal Nations opportunity relates to other APHIS competitive funding announcements that were open around the same time. Eligible Tribal applicants may also apply to the separate competitive opportunities titled Wild Cervid Chronic Wasting Disease Management and Response Activities 2021 (Funding Opportunity Number USDA-APHIS-10028-WSNWRC00-21-0008) and Farmed Cervid Chronic Wasting Disease Management and Response Activities 2021 (Funding Opportunity Number USDA-APHIS-10025-VSSPRS00-21-0108), if those programs fit their needs. However, APHIS will not provide funding for the same project through more than one of these cooperative agreement processes. In other words, applicants need to avoid submitting duplicative proposals across the different APHIS CWD funding tracks, because APHIS will prevent double-funding of identical work.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to help Tribal Nations build capacity and implement practical, field-based CWD work for wild cervids, with an emphasis on surveillance and response readiness, applied management actions, and learning what strategies work best for controlling or limiting CWD on Tribal lands.Apply for USDA APHIS 10028 WSNWRC00 21 0009
