Grant Description: The Mountain - Prairie Region (Region 6) of the National Wildlife Refuge System manages the Fish and Wildlife Service Challenge Cost Share (CCS) program for the eight states of the region, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Utah. The Mountain - Prairie Region invites the submission of proposals in support of natural resource management, emphasizing the inventory and control of invasive species, habitat restoration, and conservation outreach opportunities. These proposals are done in partnership with a USFWS field office such as a national wildife refuge or Partners for Fish & Wildlife office. Successful joint applicants will have at least 50% of project costs covered by non-federal resources. This is the initial announcement for these funding opportunities. The CCS program is an annual funding source set up on the federal fiscal year schedule; however, partnerships can and should be developed through the year as shared conservation projects are identified. Proposals are submitted under the latest guidance posted on the Region 6 Challenge Cost Share website. Proposals must be developed in partnership with a Region 6 field office and sent by the partnering USFWS office to the Mountain - Prairie Challenge Cost Share coordinator (contact information below). For more information about this "call for proposals" or for information on local contacts in your area, please contact: Tina Dobrinsky, Region 6 Challenge Cost Share Coordinator, (303) 236-4346 (phone)or e-mail at Tina_Dobrinsky@fws.gov For examples of this program and the application process, you may go to http://mountain-prairie.fws.gov/challengecostshare/index.htm for further information
