Opportunity Summary:
The Sport Fish Restoration Program Funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFR 2011 R1) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It uses revenues that are specifically generated from excise taxes on fishing-related equipment and on motorboat and small engine fuels, along with certain import duties and accrued interest. Those receipts are deposited into and appropriated from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, and then redistributed to support fish and boating-related work through financial assistance grants.
Rather than operating like a typical competitive grant where applicants propose projects and compete for a limited pot of money, this program’s funding is distributed to states and insular areas based on an apportionment formula. In other words, the amount available to an eligible recipient is determined by formula-driven allocations rather than a ranked selection process. The opportunity is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.605, Sport Fish Restoration Program, and its activity focus sits within the Natural Resources category.
Eligibility is limited to designated state fish and wildlife agencies (with insular area participation also referenced in the program description). The notice indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning grant recipients are expected to contribute a non-federal share toward supported activities, consistent with standard Sport Fish Restoration program structure. The posting date for this announcement was November 28, 2011, and the application window ran through September 30, 2012, with the archive date shown as October 2, 2012. The listing shows $0 for estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor, which typically signals that the public-facing posting is not expressing a single competitive funding pool or per-award limits, since funding is governed by the apportionment process rather than a fixed discretionary amount.
For applicants or stakeholders who need help obtaining the full announcement, the funding contact listed is Kelly Sliger at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 503-231-2067 or by email at kellysliger@fws.gov.
