Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Grants to Support Great Lakes Tribal Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plans" (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00108) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under Fiscal Year 2013 appropriations for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). Its central purpose was to help federally recognized Great Lakes tribal governments develop and/or implement Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Management Plans that support the broader protection and restoration goals for the Great Lakes and the Great Lakes Basin. In practical terms, the funding was meant to strengthen tribal capacity to plan for, prevent, control, and manage aquatic invasive species threats in waters and ecosystems connected to the Great Lakes.
The program anticipated making around 20 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $344,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between a floor of $20,000 and a ceiling of $50,000. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity area was categorized under natural resources. Importantly, the opportunity did not include a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible tribes could apply without needing to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, specifically Great Lakes tribes. The funded work had to directly relate to GLRI priorities tied to the Great Lakes, with a clear focus on aquatic invasive species management planning and follow-through. The opportunity emphasized two connected tracks of work: (1) developing an AIS Management Plan where one did not yet exist or needed completion, and (2) implementing actions from an already completed plan. Proposals were expected to clearly show commitment and readiness for whichever track applied, and the evaluation placed weight on documentation included in the proposal that demonstrated intent to complete a plan and/or intent to implement a completed plan. In other words, reviewers were not only looking for good ideas, but also for signs that the applicant had a realistic path to finishing planning work and putting it into action.
Key administrative details included a posted date of March 8, 2013, with the opportunity created on March 13, 2013. The original application closing date was April 8, 2013, later extended to April 19, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on April 20, 2013. The associated CFDA number was 15.662 (Great Lakes Restoration). Applicants were directed to consult the Notice of Funds Available (NOFA) for the full process requirements, documentation expectations, and any specific content or formatting rules for submission.
