Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00401
The Emergency Wetlands Resources Act of 1986 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00401) is a discretionary federal program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient is expected to work closely with the agency during the project rather than operating entirely independently. The program falls under the environment funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.665.
The central purpose of the opportunity is to support work connected to the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), a publicly available nationwide dataset that documents where wetlands occur and provides detailed information about their abundance, characteristics, and distribution. NWI information is widely used by natural resource professionals inside FWS and across the country to improve understanding of wetland ecosystems and to guide wetland conservation and restoration efforts. Because many fish and wildlife species depend directly on wetlands, the inventory is also an important tool for supporting habitat management and broader biodiversity goals.
A key driver behind this opportunity is FWS's federal responsibility to keep Congress and the public informed about the condition of the nation’s wetlands, including their status and trends over time. In practice, projects supported under this authority generally help maintain, update, refine, or otherwise strengthen the data and information needed to assess wetland resources, inform planning and decision-making, and communicate credible findings to policymakers and the public.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to private institutions of higher education, signaling that universities and similar entities are the intended partners. The maximum award amount listed is $99,000. The posting date in the source record is August 16, 2017, with an original closing date of August 23, 2017, and a note indicating that applications are due as soon as the announcement is posted, suggesting a short turnaround window. The record lists expected awards as 0, which can indicate that the award number was not predetermined, that funding may have depended on available resources, or that the posting served a specific administrative purpose at the time.Apply for F17AS00401
