Projects addressing national priorities like Wetland Program Planning based on the Four Core Elements, Regulation-Enhancing Wetland Protection, or Monitoring and Assessment are highly encouraged, increasing their selection chances. Eligible applicants include states, tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia, as well as universities that are state government agencies.
