Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00344
This funding opportunity, titled "Great Lakes Fisheries Commission" (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00344), is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Midwest Region. It was created on September 10, 2018, with an original closing date of October 31, 2018, and is associated with CFDA number 15.605 under the Natural Resources activity category. The planned award is for FY 2019 funding.
The grant is structured as a single-source award with an expected total of $200,000 and an anticipated number of awards of one. In practical terms, this means the funding is not being opened up for general competition among multiple applicants. Instead, it is specifically directed to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) for the purpose of administering the Commission's own competitive grant program. While the competitive aspect applies to the program GLFC will run with these funds, the federal award itself is not competitively available to outside organizations.
The legal and administrative basis for the annual funding is the Fish and Wildlife Programs Improvement and National Wildlife Refuge System Centennial Act of 2000, which apportions $200,000 each year to the GLFC. Within the FWS, these funds are managed and distributed through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR). The essential role of WSFR here is to oversee the federal administration of the funds and then award them to GLFC so GLFC can, in turn, operate and manage a grantmaking process focused on Great Lakes fishery priorities.
Although the opportunity listing includes "State governments" under eligible applicants, the description makes clear that no other entity is eligible to receive this specific federal award besides the GLFC. The intent is to support GLFC's administration of a broader competitive grant program, rather than to fund individual project applicants directly through this federal notice. In other words, organizations interested in funding for Great Lakes fisheries work would not apply to FWS under this announcement; they would instead need to look for and apply to the competitive grant opportunities administered by GLFC using these funds.Apply for F18AS00344
