Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "R1 Traditional Endangered Species Sec 6 Grants State Agencies Only" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00228) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the Endangered Species Program. It provides funding to support on-the-ground conservation work for species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), as well as species that are considered candidates for listing or otherwise at risk of becoming listed. The program is rooted in Section 6 of the ESA, which establishes a cooperative approach where the federal government partners with state, commonwealth, and territorial wildlife agencies to carry out conservation actions that align with ESA goals.
This particular announcement covers the USFWS Pacific Region (Region 1), meaning it is intended for eligible state-level governmental wildlife agencies within that region. A key point in the description is that it applies specifically to the "traditional" Section 6 grant funding pathway. In other words, it is not the separate set of competitive "nontraditional" Section 6 grants that are administered through the Washington Endangered Species office. The focus here is the longstanding cooperative funding mechanism designed for state agencies that play a central role in species management, recovery planning support, and conservation implementation.
Eligible applicants are limited to state governments (including qualifying commonwealths and territories as referenced in the description). The underlying funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the program is tied to CFDA number 15.615, which corresponds to the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning states are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward project costs in accordance with Section 6 grant rules and the specific award terms.
The announcement was posted and created on June 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2014, and an archive date of October 31, 2014. The listing does not specify an estimated total funding amount, award ceiling, or award floor in the summary fields provided, which typically indicates that funding levels may depend on annual appropriations, regional allocations, or project-specific determinations made during the application and award process. For additional program background and general guidance, the opportunity points applicants to the USFWS Endangered Species grants webpage at http://www.fws.gov/endangered/grants/index.html.
