The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) anticipates providing grants to support implementation of interjurisdictional projects that cut across state and tribal Great Lakes Interstate Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plans (AIS Plans).
Donor Name: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 12/31/2022
Grant Size: $940,000
Grant Duration: 4 years
Details:
Proposed work must either be within the Great Lakes Basin or near enough to the basin that it contributes substantially to the prevention and/or control of AIS in the Great Lakes basin. Activities such as outreach, boat ramp inspections, and/or law enforcement are often done outside the basin but make substantial contributions when work is done in areas where people are likely to transit (and thereby potentially transfer AIS) into the Great Lakes basin. Early detection, rapid response, and/or control efforts outside the basin must address:
- Species with a substantial potential for interbasin transfer (e.g., hydrilla in a waterbody near the Great Lakes basin that receives heavy boat use).
- Species of significant concern to the Great Lakes community within a Great Lakes state.
- Activities where the primary motivation is the prevent transfer of AIS into the Great Lakes basin.
Funding Information
- Estimated Total Funding: $940,000
- Maximum Award: $940,000
- Minimum Award: $50,000
- Grant awards of 1-2 years (up to 4 years with strong justification)
Eligibility Criteria
They are seeking applications from state or tribal natural resource agencies in the Great Lakes Basin. However, these agencies may designate an entity (of any type) to apply for the award on their behalf.
