Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00021
The grant opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, and it focuses specifically on Asian Carp Management in the Northeast for FY 2017. It was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, as a discretionary grant (meaning awards are made competitively at the agency's discretion rather than by formula). The funding activity area is broadly categorized under environment and natural resources, with links to science and technology and other research and development work, which fits the typical mix of applied field operations, monitoring, and management planning that invasive species projects require.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, so the intended applicants are state agencies or state-led entities responsible for fish and wildlife management, aquatic invasive species coordination, or related natural resource duties. The opportunity was posted on November 9, 2017, with an original application deadline of December 15, 2017. The project timing expectation is explicit: funded work should start as soon as possible and no later than the start of the 2018 field season. For the Ohio River Basin, the notice points out that field work could begin as early as March 2018, which signals that proposals were expected to be operationally ready for rapid deployment (for example, having permits, staffing plans, and field logistics lined up).
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $58,488, and the agency anticipated making two awards. That combination suggests relatively small, targeted projects rather than large multi-year programs. The size and structure imply the funding may have been intended to support focused management actions such as early detection and monitoring, rapid response activities, localized removal or suppression efforts, coordination and planning among jurisdictions, or applied assessments that directly inform on-the-ground control strategies. Because it is framed as Asian carp management in the Northeast and references the Ohio River Basin field season, the emphasis likely included preventing further spread and supporting management in connected waterways where Asian carp pose a risk to native fish communities, aquatic ecosystems, and recreation or commercial fisheries.
Overall, this opportunity can be understood as a short-cycle, state-implemented invasive species management grant: modest funding, few awards, a near-term field start date, and a clear operational focus tied to the 2018 field season. The headline priority is controlling or managing Asian carp risk in the Northeast region, with the Fish and Wildlife Service using this program to provide direct assistance to state partners working on invasive fish prevention, monitoring, and response.Apply for F18AS00021
