About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering grant funding for its 2024 State and Interstate Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan (SIANSMP) Grant Program. The program provides cost-share grants to states with approved Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Management Plans to implement activities that prevent, eliminate, or reduce environmental and public health risks associated with aquatic nuisance species. Eligible applicants are state governments or interstate organizations with ANS Task Force-approved management plans. The application process has two stages - a preliminary national review of pre-proposals due March 13, 2024, followed by a regional office review and grant processing of full applications due June 24, 2024. The evaluation will focus on the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the proposed management practices.
The total available funding is an estimated $4,084,000, with individual awards ranging from $5,000 to $150,000. A 25% cost share is required, and administrative costs are capped at 5% of the award amount. The grants will be awarded by August 31, 2024 to support the implementation of approved state and interstate ANS management plans across the United States.
Synopsis
The Fish and Aquatic Conservation Program's Branch of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) intends to award funding for its 2024 State and Interstate Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan (SIANSMP) Grant Program. Section 4724 of the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990, as amended (16 U.S.C. 4701-4741) (Act), authorized and provided general guidance for the development of State and Interstate Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Management Plans. The Act enables State governors to submit these plans to the ANS Task Force for approval.These comprehensive ANS Management Plans identify technical, enforcement, or financial assistance activities needed to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the environmental and public health and safety risks associated with ANS. ANS Management Plans focus on feasible, cost-effective management practices and measures to be undertaken by States to prevent and control ANS infestations in an environmentally sound manner.Once an ANS Management Plan is reviewed and approved by the ANS Task Force, the Act authorizes the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to provide cost-share grants for the implementation of the approved plans.This Program has a two-stage application process:Stage One - the "Preliminary National Review" - is managed by the Service Headquarters office. The pre-proposal process will occur outside of Grant Solutions similar to how it has occurred in the past; for 2024, pre-proposals are due five weeks after posting of the NOFO.Stage Two - the "Regional Office Review and Grant Processing" - is managed by the Service Regional Offices.
