Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00351
The grant opportunity titled "Preventing the Spread and Developing Control Techniques for Aquatic Invasive Species" (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00351) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service funding action focused on aquatic invasive species (AIS) in the Lake Tahoe Basin spanning California and Nevada. The core purpose is to support work that both stops new invasive species from being introduced or spread within the basin and advances practical methods to control invasive species that are already present in Lake Tahoe. In other words, it targets prevention (keeping invaders out and limiting movement) and control (reducing existing infestations through effective techniques), with the broader intent of protecting Lake Tahoe's ecological health and the long-running restoration investments in the region.
This opportunity sits within a well-established federal and regional framework for Lake Tahoe environmental restoration and invasive species management. The description ties the work directly to the Lake Tahoe Region Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plan approved in 2009, which outlines strategies and coordinated actions for AIS prevention and control in the basin. It also references the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force, a federally recognized body created by Congress under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act. These references signal that proposed activities are expected to align with existing interagency priorities and established strategies rather than operate as isolated, one-off projects.
Administratively, the award was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.652, within the Natural Resources activity category. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the funding agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant oversight, such as coordination, technical input, or active collaboration during implementation. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types could be considered (subject to any additional eligibility notes in the full announcement), which commonly includes government entities, nonprofits, academic institutions, tribal organizations, and potentially other qualified organizations.
The financial and award structure was designed for a single, significant project rather than multiple smaller awards. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $2,818,793 and an expected number of awards of 1, indicating one recipient would be selected to carry out the work at a scale substantial enough to make measurable progress on AIS prevention and control priorities in the Tahoe Basin. The posting dates show it was created on September 14, 2018, with an original closing date of September 20, 2018, and the notice indicates the recipient had already been selected, meaning it was no longer open for competition at the time reflected in the source data.
Overall, this funding opportunity represents a targeted federal investment to support coordinated, strategy-driven invasive species work in Lake Tahoe, emphasizing both stopping the spread of aquatic invaders and improving the tools and techniques used to manage them, consistent with the basin's long-standing, federally guided restoration and invasive species management efforts.Apply for F18AS00351
