Opportunity Summary:
The USFWS Region 6 Aquatic Invasive Species Program (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00204) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS), through its Fish and Aquatic Conservation Program in Region 6. The program is focused on preventing and reducing the harms caused by aquatic invasive species to fish and other aquatic resources. A central theme of the opportunity is that aquatic invasive species do not respect political boundaries, so meaningful progress depends on coordinated partnerships that operate across jurisdictions and among multiple organizations.
This opportunity is specifically tied to USFWS Region 6, which includes Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Projects supported under the program are expected to align with regional needs in these states and to reflect the shared responsibility among agencies, tribes, local governments, nonprofits, researchers, and other partners to address invasive species threats. While the brief description does not list specific priority species or tactics, the stated intent suggests support for collaborative efforts that help prevent introductions, detect new infestations early, respond rapidly, control or contain established invaders where feasible, and reduce impacts to native aquatic ecosystems and fisheries.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, and the activity categories associated with the opportunity include Information and Statistics, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology/Research and Development. The CFDA number is 15.608. The program anticipated making around six awards, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per award, indicating that this funding is generally aimed at targeted, practical projects rather than large multi-million-dollar initiatives. Applicants were listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been provided in the full notice.
Key dates for this specific posting show it was created and posted on May 4, 2016, with a closing date of July 5, 2016. In practical terms, this notice reflects a time-bound funding cycle from 2016, but it also gives a clear picture of how Region 6 structured its aquatic invasive species investments: modest-sized awards, multiple recipients, and an emphasis on cross-boundary coordination to prevent and control invasive species impacts on aquatic resources throughout the eight-state Region 6 footprint.
