The Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies is currently soliciting
Letters of Intent (LOIs) for the 2016 Multistate Conservation Grant Program
(MSCGP). Up to $6 million dollars is available each calendar year for projects
that address regional- or national-level priorities of the state fish and
wildlife agencies through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program.
Letters of Intent must address one or more of the 10 MSCGP National Conservation Needs for 2016 that were recently selected
by state fish and wildlife agency directors at the North American Wildlife and
Natural Resources Conference in March 2015.
Letters of Intent will be evaluated based on responsiveness to the
National Conservation Needs; scientific quality; practical relevance to state
agencies; value; and qualifications. Grants are awarded on a calendar-year
basis for one, two or three years to eligible recipients.
Please read the full Solicitation Notice and Submission Guidelines for
details.
LOIs must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format
to the MSCGP Coordinator no later than 5:00pm (Eastern Time) on Monday, May
11, 2015. The National Grants Committee and appropriate AFWA committees
will review and evaluate the LOIs. In June, the National Grants Committee
will invite the applicants with the most competitive LOIs to submit a full
grant proposal for consideration.
