Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is accepting restoration, research, and Regional Project proposals under the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act. Eligible activities include fish and wildlife conservation, habitat restoration, wetland enhancement, barrier removal, contaminant-impact reduction, species research, assessment, and related management work benefiting resources in the Great Lakes Basin. Regional Projects must affect multiple Great Lakes states or tribes. Restoration and research proposals generally request $10,000 to $250,000, while Regional Project proposals may request $200,000 to $500,000; approximately $3.5 million is expected to be available, subject to congressional appropriations. Restoration and research proposals require a 25% non-federal match, while Regional Project proposals may be exempt from matching if authorized by the Service's Midwest Region 3 Regional Director. Applicants must submit the applicable proposal narrative, resumes or curricula vitae, budget materials, and required federal assistance forms through GrantSolutions. Full restoration and research proposals are due October 13, 2026, before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Proposed activities must begin after January 1, 2027; the announcement suggests a project period from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2029.
