Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 MSCGP Announcement of Opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: DOI FWS MULTISTATE) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered through a partnership between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (the Association). While FWS is the federal agency that ultimately awards and manages the grants, the Association runs the front end of the process by administering the application workflow and providing oversight, coordination, and guidance. This cooperative setup is tied to the framework established by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs Improvement Act of 2000. The funding focus falls under the Natural Resources activity category, and awards are made as grants.
The opportunity anticipates making about 12 awards from an estimated total funding pool of $6,000,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The announcement was posted on April 11, 2013, and the application process is structured as a two-stage submission. In the first stage, applicants must submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) to the Association by May 13, 2013. Only after that initial step are selected applicants expected to move forward with the second stage, which requires submission of a full proposal. Full proposals are due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on August 9, 2013, which is also listed as the closing date for the opportunity. The archive date for the posting is September 9, 2013.
Eligibility is limited and tied closely to statutory authority and program priorities. The Secretary of the Interior may award grants only to a State, a group of States, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (but only for the purpose of conducting the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation), and qualifying nongovernmental organizations, including educational institutions. Importantly, projects are not funded simply because they are eligible; grants are awarded only for projects that appear on a priority list. That priority list is prepared by the Association and then submitted to FWS by October 1 each year, meaning proposals generally need to align with identified multistate priorities to be competitive and even fundable within the program structure.
For assistance, especially if there are problems accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed is John Stremple, Fisheries and Grants Biologist at FWS, reachable by phone at 703-358-2066 or by email at JohnStremple@fws.gov.
