Opportunity Summary:
The Grizzly Bear Management Assistance in Montana opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00094) is a discretionary grant posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It was published on January 26, 2016, with an application deadline of February 2, 2016. The program is tied to CFDA 15.657 and is categorized under a broad "Other" funding activity area, which signals that the work is specialized and centered on practical management and conservation tasks rather than fitting neatly into a single standard grant category.
The core purpose of the grant is to support on-the-ground duties that help implement the Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy, with the explicit goal of maintaining the Yellowstone grizzly bear population at a recovered status. In practice, this means funding activities that contribute to long-term conservation outcomes for grizzly bears associated with the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, especially work that helps ensure the population remains stable, secure, and managed in line with established recovery and conservation commitments. While the posted description is brief, the emphasis on "implementation" typically points to tangible management actions, interagency coordination, and field support rather than purely academic research.
Funding is structured with an award ceiling of $397,145, and the agency anticipated making about five awards. That combination suggests multiple grants at modest-to-mid scale rather than a single large project, likely distributing support across partners or regions to cover complementary pieces of conservation strategy implementation. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced but not included in the provided text; this label is commonly used when eligibility may extend beyond the usual categories (such as state agencies, tribes, local governments, nonprofits, universities, or other qualified entities) depending on the agency's specific criteria for the program.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as targeted financial assistance to carry out priority components of the Yellowstone Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy within Montana, reinforcing management capacity and actions intended to sustain recovery and prevent backsliding in the status of the Yellowstone grizzly bear population.
