Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 State/Interstate Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Management Plan Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under its Aquatic Invasive Species Program. The program is authorized by Section 1204 of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Prevention and Control Act, which directs the Service to provide cost-share funding to help implement State and Interstate Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plans. A key point is that the plans must already be approved by the Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Task Force, and the funding is intended to support real, on-the-ground implementation of those approved plans rather than the creation of new ones.
The purpose of the funding is to reduce or eliminate the environmental, public health, and public safety risks posed by aquatic nuisance species (also referred to as aquatic invasive species). The supported work can include technical assistance, enforcement-related activities, and financial assistance efforts that help states, tribes, and partner entities prevent new infestations and control or contain existing ones. The announcement emphasizes practical approaches: activities should be feasible, environmentally sound, and cost effective. In other words, the program is structured to back management practices that are likely to work in the real world and provide measurable benefits, rather than experimental or purely theoretical efforts.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00090) anticipated making around 40 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $950,000. Individual awards could be up to $40,000 (award ceiling), with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). Because this is a cost-share program, applicants are expected to provide matching funds or other allowable match contributions, consistent with the requirements of the program and the governing statute and guidance.
Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other Native American tribal organizations, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and special district governments. This eligibility list reflects the program's goal of supporting statewide and interstate coordination, including work led by or in partnership with governmental entities that manage waters and natural resources and that have responsibilities connected to invasive species prevention, monitoring, enforcement, and response.
The grant falls under the Environment and Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The announcement was posted on February 20, 2013, with an application deadline of March 31, 2013. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Michael Murray at MichaelMurray@fws.gov.
