Opportunity Summary:
The Maui Invasive Species Committee ED RR Project Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00285) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds. It is designed to support the Maui Invasive Species Committee (MISC), a multi-agency partnership that works across Maui, Molokai, and Lanai to prevent, detect, and control the most damaging invasive plants and animals that threaten native ecosystems, local economies, and human health. The core purpose is to strengthen early detection and rapid response (ED/RR) capacity for incipient invasive species, including work conducted on both public and private lands, where fast action can prevent new invasions from becoming widespread and far more expensive or impossible to eradicate.
MISC is described as the de facto entity addressing incipient invasive species on these islands because it already has specialized staff, technical expertise, and operational infrastructure to carry out field response, coordination, and ongoing control. The announcement emphasizes that invasive species committees in Hawaii are viewed as a distinctive and effective model for confronting new and emerging invasions, and it notes that MISC receives most of its baseline funding from the State of Hawaii. This federal award is presented as a targeted continuation of prior-year Service support to help MISC keep existing control projects moving forward, rather than launching an entirely new program. The Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office determined that funding this project aligns with its strategic conservation goals, particularly by reducing invasive-species pressures that can undermine recovery efforts for threatened and endangered species in Hawaii.
The funding details reflect a small, single-award continuation-style grant. The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, an award ceiling of $50,000, and no stated minimum award floor (listed as $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the funding instrument type is a grant.
Eligibility is listed as private institutions of higher education, consistent with how the applicant entity for this submission was categorized in the notice. The opportunity was posted on July 31, 2013 (created July 30, 2013) with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2013, indicating a short application window typical of awards that follow an unsolicited proposal or continuation support arrangement.
