Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00165
The Recovery Implementation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00165) is a competitive federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support on-the-ground and science-based actions that help recover endangered and threatened species managed by FWS within the United States. The program is designed to move species closer to recovery goals under the Endangered Species Act by funding projects that directly contribute to recovery outcomes, including preventing extinction, improving population status, reducing key threats, and ultimately enabling delisting when recovery criteria are met. A central requirement is that funded work must align with actions already identified in an approved recovery document for the species, meaning proposals should clearly tie proposed tasks to specific recovery plan actions or equivalent approved recovery guidance.
Funding is provided through grants and cooperative agreements, and it falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.657). Eligibility is broadly open, with an unrestricted applicant pool that can include states, other federal agencies, landowners, educators, nonprofit organizations, researchers, and other conservation partners, as long as any additional eligibility conditions stated in the full notice are met. This structure reflects how recovery work often depends on partnerships across agencies, universities, NGOs, tribes, private landowners, and local stakeholders, especially where listed species occur across mixed ownerships and jurisdictions.
The types of projects supported generally fall into two major buckets: (1) securing information needed to guide recovery decisions and (2) implementing recovery actions that reduce threats and improve habitat and population viability. Examples consistent with the description include targeted research or monitoring to fill priority data gaps for endangered or threatened species, surveys and assessments that inform management decisions, and applied conservation work such as habitat restoration, threat reduction, or other management interventions specifically called for in the species recovery plan. The emphasis is not on general conservation or broad ecosystem work unless it is explicitly linked to recovery plan actions for FWS-managed listed species; proposals are expected to demonstrate a clear line of sight from project activities to recovery plan objectives and measurable conservation benefits.
In terms of scale and competition, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000 and anticipated roughly 10 awards, indicating that projects may range from moderately sized efforts to larger, multi-partner initiatives depending on need, scope, and available funding. The notice was originally posted with a creation date of March 28, 2019, and an original closing date of April 26, 2019, placing it within a specific federal funding cycle. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at tangible recovery implementation: funding actions that are already recognized as necessary for recovery, carried out by qualified partners, and designed to produce practical outcomes that move species toward downlisting, delisting, or reduced risk of extinction.Apply for F19AS00165
