Opportunity Summary:
The 2014 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Endangered Species Grants Program (GLRIES) is a competitive grant opportunity run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support voluntary conservation work in the U.S. portion of the Great Lakes Watershed. The program is designed to fund practical, on-the-ground actions that protect, enhance, and restore habitat in ways that directly benefit species that are federally listed as endangered or threatened, species proposed for listing, candidate species, and other species considered at risk. In plain terms, the emphasis is on habitat-focused projects that measurably improve conditions for vulnerable wildlife and plants tied to Great Lakes ecosystems.
This opportunity falls under the broader Great Lakes Restoration effort and is categorized as discretionary funding, meaning awards are made through a competitive selection process rather than by formula. Funding is provided through grants as the primary assistance instrument, and the work supported generally aligns with environmental and natural resources goals, as well as science, technology, and research and development activities when those elements are tied to conservation outcomes. The notice indicates an expectation of about 10 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $600,000. Individual awards are anticipated to range from $25,000 (award floor) to $100,000 (award ceiling), which signals a focus on targeted projects that can deliver clear results within a modest budget.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning proposals may be submitted by a wide range of applicant types, including individuals, groups, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies, as long as they meet any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers a common barrier to entry for smaller organizations and community-based partnerships and allows applicants to propose projects based on conservation need and readiness rather than the ability to raise non-federal match.
A key feature of the GLRIES program is that selected projects must be carried out in a way that satisfies federal compliance responsibilities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notes that it will work with grantees to address requirements associated with major federal statutes, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This matters because even beneficial restoration work can trigger review requirements depending on location, methods, and potential effects on cultural resources or other protected species. The announcement indicates that awardees will receive additional guidance on these compliance steps after selection, which suggests that applicants should be prepared to plan for permitting, consultation, documentation, and scheduling considerations that can affect timelines and implementation.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on February 24, 2014, under Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00092, with an application closing date of March 28, 2014 (archived March 29, 2014). The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.662 (Great Lakes Restoration). The listing points applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application instructions, and provides a direct contact for access issues or questions: Thomas J. Magnuson at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (612-713-5467, tommagnuson@fws.gov).
