The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Department of Lands and Natural Resources (DLNR) has been awarded a $437,649 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service under the Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education program (CFDA 15.611). This 1-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, will support the DLNR's Division of Fish and Wildlife in executing administrative and compliance tasks to effectively manage all Wildlife Restoration and Sport Fish Restoration funded projects. Key activities include processing employee contracts, procurement, and payments; performing quality control checks on grant documents; and reconciling expenditures to ensure adherence to federal and local requirements. The grant aims to ensure the equal distribution of costs across all programs and projects benefiting from the goods and services provided, enabling the DLNR to continue its critical work in wildlife conservation, research, and habitat management in the Northern Mariana Islands.

We will process all administrative tasks such as employee contracts, off-island recruitments, procurement actions, and process monthly payments for goods and services received, and ensure equal distribution of costs across all programs and projects benefiting from these goods and services. Additionally, we will perform quality control checks on all grant documents and reconcile expenditures to ensure compliance with local and federal requirements and grant award conditions.
