Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00309
The Science Applications/National Priority Initiative for Monarchs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00309) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Midwest Region. Its purpose is to strengthen monarch butterfly conservation planning and on-the-ground coordination across a large multi-jurisdictional landscape covered by the Midwest Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (MAFWA), which includes thirteen U.S. states and three Canadian provinces. Rather than soliciting proposals competitively, FWS intends to make an amended single-source award to MAFWA to continue and expand support for a dedicated coordinating role called the State Monarch Conservation Liaison.
The core idea behind the award is to fund a regional coordinator who can help align monarch conservation work across many state and provincial partners, ensuring that planning, priorities, communication, and implementation efforts are consistent and mutually reinforcing. This coordinating position is meant to support monarch butterfly planning and conservation activities that are already occurring across the MAFWA region, while also helping scale those efforts in a more organized, region-wide way. Because monarch conservation is inherently cross-boundary (the species migrates long distances and relies on habitat distributed across many jurisdictions), the grant is designed to keep partners working from a shared framework rather than operating in disconnected efforts.
A key driver for this amended notice is the FWS Species Status Assessment work for monarchs. Through that process, FWS has identified monarch butterfly conservation units within the United States, including North Core and South Core Conservation Units for the eastern monarch population. The opportunity reflects a newer emphasis on these priority conservation areas and recognizes that they will require a more coordinated and expanded regional approach to planning and implementation. In practical terms, the liaison role is intended to help focus regional monarch work toward these identified core units, improve coordination among agencies and partners, and support implementation where it matters most for the eastern monarch population.
This announcement is an amended Notice of Funding Opportunity, meaning it modifies a previously issued project. The amendment specifically adds additional funding and extends the project by an additional year, signaling that FWS views the coordinating function as a continuing need rather than a short-term activity. The total award ceiling listed is $96,635, and FWS expects to make one award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the assistance listing is CFDA 15.670. The opportunity was created on August 20, 2018, with an original closing date of August 24, 2018, reflecting that it is a targeted, single-source action tied to an existing partnership and a specific coordinating position rather than an open, competitive grant round.Apply for F18AS00309
