Opportunity Information: Apply for F16AS00283
The R1 Endangered Species Traditional Section 6 - States Only opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00283) is a mandatory grant program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF). It is designed to provide financial assistance to state governments (and, as described in the program narrative, U.S. states and territories) to carry out on-the-ground conservation work that supports species listed under the Endangered Species Act, as well as species considered at-risk. The legal basis for the program is the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, and it falls under CFDA 15.615, which is tied to endangered species conservation assistance.
The core purpose of the funding is to help states implement practical, science-based projects that improve the status of imperiled wildlife and plants and their habitats. The program supports a wide range of conservation actions, including habitat restoration efforts, species status and population surveys, and assessments that clarify how species use habitat across seasons or life stages. It also funds applied research and technical work such as genetic studies, nesting surveys, and other monitoring activities that inform recovery decisions and management priorities. Beyond fieldwork and research, the opportunity also includes support for public education and outreach, recognizing that long-term recovery often depends on landowner engagement, public awareness, and coordinated local action.
In addition, the grant can cover more intensive conservation interventions when appropriate, such as captive propagation and reintroduction activities aimed at boosting populations or re-establishing species in parts of their historical range. It also supports planning work, including the development of management plans that guide ongoing conservation, align partners, and set measurable objectives for listed and at-risk species. Overall, the funded activities are meant to strengthen state-led conservation capacity and advance recovery-oriented outcomes through targeted projects that are consistent with ESA authorities.
From the published source details for this specific posting, the opportunity was created on June 13, 2016, with an original closing date of August 31, 2016. The listed award ceiling was $1,716,372, and the funding instrument type is a grant. The opportunity category is listed as mandatory, and eligibility is limited to state governments.
