Opportunity Summary:
The Wolf Livestock Demonstration Project Grant Program (WLDPGP) is a federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that was authorized by Subtitle C of the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11). The program is designed to address conflicts between wolves and livestock producers by supporting two complementary approaches: prevention and compensation. On the prevention side, grant funding is meant to help livestock producers carry out proactive, nonlethal measures that reduce the risk of wolf predation before losses occur. On the compensation side, grant funding is intended to reimburse livestock producers for animals lost due to wolf predation.
A key part of the law creating the program is that it must operate as a grant program specifically for state governments and federally recognized tribal governments, rather than providing funds directly to individual producers. In other words, states and tribes apply for and manage the funding and then use it to support producers through prevention projects or compensation efforts under their own programs. The authorizing language also sets two important funding rules. First, the federal share of project costs cannot exceed 50 percent, meaning recipients must provide at least an equal amount in non-federal cost share or matching funds. Second, program funds are required to be spent equally between the two purposes overall, so prevention and compensation are intended to receive balanced support within the program.
This particular notice (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00136) describes a competitive grant process. States and tribes can apply either for prevention grants or for compensation grants, depending on the needs they are trying to address and how their proposed project is structured. Funding levels are not guaranteed by the notice itself, because award amounts depend on the number of applications received and the quality of the proposals submitted. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses the grant funding instrument type, with an activity focus in environment and natural resources. It is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.666, titled "Endangered Species Conservation Wolf Livestock Loss Compensation and Prevention."
The opportunity was posted on April 24, 2014, with an application deadline of June 13, 2014, and it was later archived on July 31, 2014. The listing indicates cost sharing is required and confirms eligibility is limited to state governments and federally recognized tribal governments. For applicants or reviewers seeking the full announcement and application instructions, the notice directs users to Grants.gov to search by CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.666 or by the opportunity number F14AS00136. A program contact was provided for access issues: Kelly Niland at the Fish and Wildlife Service (703-358-2492, KellyNiland@fws.gov).
