Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00111
The White-Nose Syndrome Grants to State Wildlife Management Agencies opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00111) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, using CFDA 15.657 funds under the Endangered Species Conservation Recovery Implementation authority. For fiscal year 2018, the Service set aside up to $1,000,000 in internally directed funding to strengthen and adapt state-level capacity to manage and control white-nose syndrome (WNS) and its causative fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd). The legal foundation for the program is the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and subsequent amendments passed in 1978 and 1982, which collectively support conservation and recovery efforts for imperiled species and the ecosystems they rely on.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the program's focus on building and expanding state wildlife agency WNS management programs. The funding activity area is categorized under Natural Resources, and the funding instrument is a grant. For this specific 2018 cycle, the application window opened on April 9, 2018 and closed on May 9, 2018. The program anticipated making about 50 awards, with an award ceiling of $30,000 per grant, indicating that the Service intended to distribute modest, targeted awards to support practical on-the-ground capacity and coordination across many states rather than concentrating funds in a small number of large projects.
The core purpose of the 2018 priorities is to help state partners either build new WNS programs or expand existing ones, with an emphasis on readiness, surveillance, coordination, conservation actions, and communication. Funded activities were intended to support state agencies in several key areas: identifying and sharing information about sites that could be used for WNS treatment research and development; preparing for and responding when Pd is detected or becomes established; maintaining coordination among agencies and partners involved in bat conservation while also facilitating WNS-related research; monitoring bat populations and conducting surveillance specifically for WNS and Pd; implementing conservation actions for bats that are already affected by WNS or are considered vulnerable to it; conducting outreach to inform the public and stakeholders about WNS and bats; and participating in the Fish and Wildlife Service Annual WNS Meeting as well as regional bat working group meetings to keep management approaches aligned and information flowing across jurisdictions.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building and coordination-focused grant program. It aims to keep states prepared for Pd detections, improve the quality and coverage of bat and disease monitoring, promote collaboration that speeds the development and testing of management tools, and support conservation and outreach work that can reduce risks to bat populations while keeping state and regional partners connected through recurring meetings and working groups.Apply for F18AS00111
