About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs is seeking proposals for the Brown Treesnake Program 2025, focusing on interdiction and control efforts for the invasive Brown Treesnake (BTS). Eligible applicants are limited to members of the Brown Treesnake Technical Working Group, including representatives from Guam, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Hawaii, and federal agencies. The program prioritizes preventing BTS spread to other islands, conducting landscape-scale suppression on Guam, performing early detection and rapid response, and developing public outreach programs. Proposals will be evaluated based on three key criteria: interdiction, early detection, and program coordination (40 points), development of new tools or technologies (30 points), and additional projects like outreach and data collection (20 points). The application deadline is August 15, 2025, with electronic submissions due by 5:00 p.m. ET.
The total estimated program funding is $3,500,000, with an expected 7 awards anticipated. The project period is scheduled from October 1, 2025, to October 1, 2027, with final project selections expected during the summer and potential decisions extending into fiscal year 2026. Applicants must submit comprehensive proposals through Grants.gov, including detailed project narratives, budgets, performance measures, and required federal forms. The program will focus on territories in the Pacific region, with a particular emphasis on Guam and surrounding islands. Proposals will be evaluated for their potential to effectively manage and mitigate the Brown Treesnake population and its environmental impact.
Synopsis
Grant funding from this program is for interdiction programs to prevent the spread of BTS to other islands, landscape scale suppression on Guam, early detection, and rapid response, as well as outreach programs to educate the public on BTS, and other projects for interdiction.
