Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00202
The Fiscal Year 2018 Candidate Conservation Action Funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00202) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) funding program designed to support proactive conservation work for candidate species and other at-risk species. The central idea behind the program is to address conservation needs early, before a species becomes so imperiled that it requires protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. In practical terms, the program funds efforts that either improve what is known about vulnerable species (so managers can make better, faster decisions) or directly improve habitat and other ecological conditions that those species rely on. By strengthening the health of ecosystems and reducing threats, these projects are intended to help avert the need for federal listing.
Funding is offered as financial assistance and may be awarded through several instrument types, including cooperative agreements, grants, and procurement contracts. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area, with CFDA number 15.660. While the expected number of awards is listed as 0 in the source data (which often reflects uncertainty at the time of posting or dependence on appropriations), the notice establishes a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of up to $1,000,000 per award, indicating the program is capable of supporting substantial projects when funds are available and priorities align.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to many applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text. This kind of open eligibility commonly allows participation by a wide range of entities that can carry out conservation work, such as state and local governments, tribal governments, universities, nonprofit organizations, and other qualified groups, as long as the specific requirements in the full funding notice are met.
The opportunity was created on June 26, 2018. The original closing date for applications is August 27, 2018, and the notice states that applications are due by that date. At the same time, it also notes that applications may be submitted throughout the year, with the important caveat that final consideration depends on the FWS budget cycle. In other words, even though a formal deadline exists, the agency is signaling that timing and funding availability will be influenced by internal budgeting and allocation schedules, so applicants should pay attention to how their submission timing matches agency planning and funding decisions.
Overall, the program is aimed at filling critical information gaps about candidate and at-risk species and funding on-the-ground conservation or restoration actions that measurably reduce threats. The broader conservation purpose is ecosystem-based: protecting and improving the habitats and ecological systems that these species depend on, thereby improving species viability and reducing the likelihood that federal listing becomes necessary.Apply for F18AS00202
