Opportunity Summary:
The Weed Control Partnership for National Elk Refuge (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00277) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to be substantially involved in the funded work (for example, coordinating activities, providing technical input, or collaborating on implementation) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is Environment, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.652.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support on-the-ground habitat conservation and environmental restoration projects within the landscape of the National Elk Refuge, with a specific emphasis indicated by the title on weed control and partnership-based efforts. In practical terms, this kind of project generally centers on managing invasive or noxious weeds that degrade native plant communities and wildlife habitat, with the broader goal of improving ecosystem condition and supporting the refuge's conservation mission. The work would be expected to take place within the National Elk Refuge landscape, aligning activities with refuge priorities and restoration needs.
Funding under this opportunity is relatively small and targeted. The award ceiling is $28,000, and the agency anticipated making about 5 awards, suggesting multiple small projects or partner-led efforts rather than a single large, multi-year initiative. The opportunity was posted and created on June 9, 2016, and the application closing date was June 19, 2016 (with no later extended deadline listed).
Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating that applicants likely extend beyond standard categories and may include certain partner organizations or local entities as defined in the full announcement. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a short-deadline, partnership-focused cooperative agreement meant to fund practical weed management and related habitat restoration actions that contribute directly to conservation outcomes on and around the National Elk Refuge.
