Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 OIA Brown Treesnake Program (Funding Opportunity Number: OIA 2013 BTS) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Office of Insular Affairs. It was designed to support coordinated efforts to address the brown treesnake, an invasive species that has caused major ecological damage on Guam and poses a serious risk of spreading to other Pacific jurisdictions. The program emphasizes practical actions and applied research aimed at stopping the snake from leaving Guam, reducing existing populations, and ultimately working toward eradication. Alongside direct control efforts, the program also supports activities tied to restoring native species affected by the brown treesnake.
The primary purpose of the program was twofold: first, to prevent dispersal of brown treesnakes from Guam to other geographic areas, and second, to fund research and operational work that strengthens population control and suppression methods. The activity category was listed as "Other," with a specific clarification that the focus is invasive species population control and suppression related to the brown treesnake. In practical terms, projects funded under this opportunity would be expected to contribute to improved detection, containment, interdiction, and suppression strategies, while also contributing to broader ecological recovery goals such as native species restoration.
For FY 2013, the announcement projected an estimated total funding amount of $2,200,000 and anticipated making about six awards. The funding instrument type was a grant. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.875, which corresponds to Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories, reflecting the federal interest in supporting territorial capacity and resilience, including addressing environmental threats that affect community well-being and ecological integrity.
Eligibility was limited rather than open to the general public. Eligible applicants were restricted to members of the Brown Treesnake Technical Working Group. The notice specifies that this group includes, but is not limited to, representatives of the governments of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the State of Hawaii. This indicates the program was intended to support a coordinated network of agencies and partners already engaged in brown treesnake response planning and operations, rather than funding stand-alone proposals from unrelated entities.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on February 11, 2013, with an original and final application deadline of March 29, 2013. The opportunity was archived on April 28, 2013. Applicants were directed to consult the application instructions for additional details, which typically include required forms, project narrative expectations, budget format, submission methods, and any specific program priorities or evaluation criteria.
For assistance, the listed point of contact was Faride Kraft, Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-219-1335 or by email at faridekraft@ios.doi.gov, particularly for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
