State Wildlife Grants Competitive Grant Program: Congress established the State Wildlife Grant Competitive Grant Program in 2008 through Public Law 110-161. This nationally competitive program serves to implement State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs) by promoting cooperative partnerships. SWAPs are also known as Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies. State Wildlife Grant Competitive Grant Program applications must address: (a) eligible projects relating to Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) identified in Service-approved SWAPs or (b) emerging issues (such as climate change effects on Species of Greatest Conservation Need) that are adequately documented in the grant application and that propose to improve the status of SGCN or their habitats. Funds will be awarded to the highest-scoring applications using the scoring criteria contained in this announcement and awarded based on these criteria, at the discretion of the Service Director. Priority will be given to multistate conservation projects that identify measurable performance results and outcomes.
