The Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies' National
Grants Committee has selected 18 applicants for further funding considerations
for the 2015 Multistate Conservation Grant Program Cycle.
Notified applicants
must submit the full grant proposal by email (as a Microsoft Word document) to
the Multistate Conservation Grant Program Coordinator by 5:00pm EST on
Friday August 22, 2014.
The National
Grants Committee will review each proposal and select projects for funding
during AFWA’s annual meeting in September 2014.
The
MSCGP was established in 2000 by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration
Programs Improvement Act, which amended the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife
Restoration Act and the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act.
AFWA
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) cooperatively administer the
Multistate Conservation Grant Program.
Each
year, up to $6 million is available to fund MSCGP projects. Projects may be
funded for one, two or three years on a calendar year basis.
