Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FS GLRI CWMA24
USDA FS GLRI Cooperative Weed Management Areas 2024 (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA FS GLRI CWMA24) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Forest Service that focuses on invasive plant work across the U.S. Great Lakes Basin. The central purpose is to improve ecological conditions by supporting projects that detect new infestations early, prevent spread, eradicate where feasible, and control established invasive plant populations. The broader outcomes the program is aiming for include stronger ecological resiliency, better watershed stability, and increased biological diversity across the region, with projects expected to contribute to healthier natural systems and more sustainable land and water resources.
The opportunity is designed for collaborative, place-based invasive species partnerships, specifically Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMAs), Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas (CISMAs), or similar organizations operating within the Great Lakes Basin. Eligible geography is tied to the U.S. Great Lakes Basin and explicitly includes parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. A key practical feature is that proposals may include work on all land ownership types, meaning projects can be structured to address invasive plants across federal, state, other public, and private lands, which is often essential for effective invasive species management because infestations and vectors do not follow property boundaries.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the natural resources category (Funding Activity Category: Natural Resources) and is associated with CFDA number 10.664. The program lists an award ceiling of $100,000 per award and anticipates making about 25 awards, which suggests the Forest Service is looking to distribute support across multiple partnerships and locations rather than fund only a small number of large projects. The posting date for the opportunity is July 18, 2024, and the application deadline is September 18, 2024, giving applicants a defined window to assemble project partners, finalize work plans, and submit required materials.
To support applicants, the Forest Service is holding an informational webinar on July 24, 2024, at 10:00am Central / 11:00am Eastern. Connection details are expected to be posted both on the program website and within the opportunity posting itself. The agency also plans to post the webinar recording online afterward, which can be useful for applicants who cannot attend live or who want to revisit details while drafting proposals. The recording and additional materials are slated to be available at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r9/workingtogether/grants/cidFSEPRD898821.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at organized, cooperative invasive plant management groups in the Great Lakes Basin that can demonstrate coordinated, cross-boundary action to find and address invasive plants through prevention, early detection, eradication, and control, with the intention of delivering measurable ecological and watershed benefits. Applicants are directed to consult the Request for Applications (RFA) instructions for the specific eligibility requirements and proposal details that the Forest Service will use to determine whether a submission is complete and competitive.Apply for USDA FS GLRI CWMA24
