The Department of the Interior Competitive State Wildlife Grant Program provides funding for States to develop and implement wildlife conservation programs, focusing on species of greatest conservation need. Projects with direct impacts on imperiled species and their habitats are favored, with a priority on proactive conservation strategies. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement unless minor and critical to project success. The program seeks to support projects that can show measurable impacts within the performance period. Applications are evaluated based on specific criteria outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. The closing date for the current cycle is Feb 03, 2017.

| Description: | The Competitive State Wildlife Grant (C-SWG) Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, territories (States) and Associations of State fish and wildlife agencies with Federal grant funds to develop and implement programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Priority for use of these funds must be placed on identified species of greatest conservation need and should take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of these species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity that is considered critical to the success of a project. Although planning projects may receive C-SWG Program funding, the Service explicitly favors proactive physical conservation strategies that can demonstrate measurable impacts on populations of imperiled species through this Program. Such active conservation projects are typically more likely to be competitive, based on criteria published in the Notice of Funding Opportunity, than projects that do not have the potential to directly impact species or their habitats within the period of performance. |
