In plain English
This Fish and Wildlife Service program funds implementation of aquatic invasive species management plans in the Great Lakes states. Eligibility is narrow: only a primary state natural resource agency in each Great Lakes state may apply, though that agency may designate another entity of any type to apply on its behalf. Awards range roughly from $100,000 to $600,000. Most applicants will need an existing state plan and a connection to a state natural resource agency to be eligible.

Who can apply

About this grant
Using appropriations to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) anticipates providing grants to support implementation of Great Lakes State Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plans (State AIS Plans). State AIS Plans have been transmitted by state governors and then approved by the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force. All state grants will be awarded based on a competitive process for which only Great Lakes states or their designee are eligible.
