Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00141
The Alaska Aquatic Invasive Species Plant Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00141) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 7. The intent is to make a single-source financial assistance award to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) under the authority cited as 505 DM 2.14 (B). This is important because it means the notice is informational rather than competitive: it is not a request for proposals, and the federal government does not plan to solicit or accept applications from other entities.
The core purpose of the grant is to support aquatic invasive species management in Alaska, with an emphasis on invasive aquatic and riparian plants. USFWS frames invasive species as a high-priority conservation issue because, if not addressed, invasive organisms can displace native fish and wildlife and degrade or transform the habitats those species depend on. While Alaska is described as having relatively few aquatic invasive species compared to many other places, the ones currently present are significant enough to justify targeted prevention and response work, especially since early intervention is typically more effective and less costly than trying to manage widespread infestations later.
ADNR is identified as the lead state agency for managing these aquatic and riparian invasive plants, and the federal funding is designed to strengthen ADNRs capacity to carry out several practical, on-the-ground and programmatic activities. These include outreach and coordination, which generally involves educating the public and stakeholders (such as boaters, anglers, land managers, and local communities) and aligning efforts across agencies and partners to prevent spread and improve reporting and response. The project also supports early detection surveys, meaning systematic efforts to find new or expanding infestations quickly, before they become established across larger areas or waterways. In addition, the award funds monitoring to evaluate how well control actions are working, a step that helps confirm whether treatment methods are effective and guides adjustments to improve results over time. Finally, the grant includes support for research activities tied directly to improving management actions, which can include testing or refining control approaches, improving detection methods, or filling knowledge gaps that affect decision-making.
From the funding and administrative details provided, the award instrument is a grant, the primary activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, and the CFDA number listed is 15.608. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the single-source intent to fund ADNR specifically. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $245,000. The opportunity was created on June 21, 2018, with an original closing date of June 28, 2018, reflecting a short public notice window typical of single-source announcements where the recipient is already determined.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted federal investment to help Alaska maintain its relative advantage of having fewer aquatic invasive species by supporting prevention-oriented work (outreach and early detection), effectiveness-oriented work (monitoring of control actions), and improvement-oriented work (research that directly enhances management).Apply for F18AS00141
