Opportunity Summary:
The R1 Endangered Species Sec 6 Traditional - State Organizations Only grant (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00042) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.615, which is tied to endangered species conservation support. The purpose of this opportunity is to provide financial assistance for on-the-ground conservation work that benefits imperiled wildlife and plants, specifically focusing on state-listed species, candidate species, federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act, and species that have recently recovered but still may need continued conservation attention to remain secure.
Total funding available for this opportunity is listed as $300,000 to support conservation projects aimed at these "listed species." While an award ceiling is shown as $0 (meaning no maximum per-award amount is specified in the summary data), the opportunity anticipates making around 25 awards. In practical terms, that suggests relatively small, targeted awards designed to help states carry out priority actions such as habitat protection and restoration, species monitoring, surveys, research that directly informs management, recovery planning support, and other implementation activities that reduce threats and stabilize or improve populations. The program is framed as implementation-focused, meaning it is intended to move conservation work forward rather than only supporting planning or general administrative activities.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the title explicitly notes "State Organizations Only," reinforcing that this is not open to local governments, tribes, nonprofits, universities, or private entities as direct applicants. The geographic/administrative label "R1" indicates it is tied to a specific Fish and Wildlife Service region (Region 1), and the program is structured to support state wildlife agencies or comparable state entities that have responsibility for species conservation within their jurisdictions.
The opportunity was posted and created on December 1, 2015, with an application closing date of March 9, 2016 (both the original and current closing date are the same). As a discretionary grant, proposals would be competitively reviewed based on how well they meet program goals and how effectively they address conservation needs for the targeted species. Overall, this grant is designed to strengthen state-led endangered species conservation efforts by funding concrete, measurable projects that contribute to the protection, recovery, and long-term persistence of species at risk.
