How to Apply
Award Procedure
Award notification is the issuance of a grant or cooperative agreement document by the Awarding Official. Each proposal is reviewed by the Southwest Wolf Recovery Program staff who make recommendations for funding. The evaluations are based on the criteria outlined in the request for federal assistance. Selected proposals best support the program within available funding. Once a recovery activity is selected for funding, a funding instrument, i.e., notice of award, between Fish and Wildlife Service and the recipient is drafted. The award is processed through the Southwest Regional Ecological Services Office and sent to the recipient. The award is considered executed when notices of award are provided to the recipient and the Ecological Services Office has obligated funds to the agreement.
Up to 180 days, however consideration of applications will ultimately be based on FWS budget availability which varies from year to year.
