Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Wildlife Grants 2011 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number WO TWG 2011) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant program designed to provide both technical and financial support to federally recognized Native American tribal governments that want to develop or carry out projects benefiting fish and wildlife resources and the habitats those species depend on. In practical terms, the program is meant to help Tribes plan, build, and operate conservation programs on tribal lands (and in some cases in areas relevant to tribal resources), supporting on-the-ground work as well as the scientific and educational efforts that make long-term conservation possible.
The grant supports a wide range of natural resource activities. Fundable project types include planning efforts for wildlife and habitat conservation; direct fish and wildlife conservation and management actions; laboratory and field research tied to fish, wildlife, and habitat needs; natural history studies; habitat mapping; field surveys and population monitoring; habitat preservation work; conservation easements; and public education components, as long as the education is clearly relevant to the proposed conservation project. This breadth allows Tribes to propose projects at different stages, whether they are building baseline data through surveys and mapping, implementing management actions based on existing plans, or combining research, monitoring, and outreach into a single integrated conservation effort.
Grant funds can be used for many common project costs, which makes the program flexible for real-world implementation. Allowable uses specifically include salaries, equipment purchases, consultant services, subcontracts, acquisitions, and travel. That means a Tribe can structure a project around staff time (such as wildlife biologists, technicians, or project coordinators), contract specialized expertise when needed, purchase field or lab equipment, cover travel for site work or coordination, and support partner work through subawards or subcontracting arrangements, provided the costs align with the project scope and grant requirements.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding pool of $7,000,000 and anticipates making about 42 awards. Individual awards have a ceiling of $200,000, and the listed award floor is $0, which generally indicates there is not a formally stated minimum request amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide matching funds to be eligible, which can reduce barriers for Tribes seeking to launch or expand conservation programs.
Administrative details place this opportunity in the “Other†opportunity category, using a standard grant funding instrument, and it is associated with the Natural Resources funding activity category. The CFDA number for the program is 15.639 (Tribal Wildlife Grants Program). The announcement was posted May 3, 2010, created April 14, 2010, with an application closing date of September 1, 2010 (original and current closing dates are the same). The archive date is October 1, 2010, reflecting that this was a time-limited annual funding cycle rather than an open-ended solicitation.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized. The administering agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service. For additional program information, the announcement references the Tribal Wildlife Grants site, and for access issues or assistance with the full announcement, the listed contact is Patrick Durham, Native American Liaison, at 703-358-1728.
