Opportunity Summary:
The State and Interstate Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Management Plan Program is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under its Aquatic Invasive Species Program. It supports on-the-ground implementation of State and Interstate ANS Management Plans that have already been approved by the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force, as authorized under Section 1204 of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Prevention and Control Act. The central purpose is to help states, tribes, and other eligible public entities carry out coordinated actions that prevent, control, or reduce the impacts of aquatic nuisance species (also called aquatic invasive species) in ways that are environmentally responsible and practical to execute.
The funded work is tied directly to the priorities and actions spelled out in approved ANS plans. These plans typically outline what technical, enforcement, and financial assistance activities are needed to eliminate or reduce risks posed by invasive aquatic organisms. The risks highlighted in the announcement include environmental harm as well as public health and safety concerns, which can range from ecosystem disruption and loss of native biodiversity to impacts on water infrastructure, recreation, and local economies. The program emphasizes approaches that are feasible and cost-effective, meaning proposals are expected to focus on realistic management practices and measures that can be implemented by states and cooperating partners, rather than purely conceptual planning efforts.
For the 2012 funding cycle associated with this notice (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00200), FWS anticipated making about 40 awards. Total estimated funding was $968,000, with an award ceiling of $40,000 per grant and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The opportunity is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources, and it uses the grant funding instrument type. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. The notice lists the cost sharing or matching requirement as "No" in the summarized source data, even though the underlying statute language referenced in the description discusses cost-share grants; applicants would typically confirm any cost-share expectations by reviewing the full announcement and any program guidance tied to the approved ANS plan implementation framework.
Key dates shown in the source data include a posted date of June 6, 2012, an original closing date of June 20, 2012, and a current closing date of June 27, 2012, indicating the deadline was extended. Additional details and the complete announcement were available through Grants.gov, and the contact provided for access issues or questions was Don MacLean at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (703-358-2108, donmaclean@fws.gov).
