Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00336
The grant opportunity under CFDA 15.665, titled "The Emergency Wetlands Resources Act National Wetlands Inventory" (authorized under 16 U.S.C. 3901 and related sections), is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance, such as collaborating on technical direction, data standards, deliverables, and review of work products. The overall purpose is to support the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) responsibilities established by the Emergency Wetlands Resources Act, focused on maintaining a consistent, nationwide picture of wetland resources.
At its core, the program is about producing and maintaining authoritative wetland mapping and related data products for the United States. The Act requires the NWI to map wetlands across the nation, convert and digitize mapping products, maintain archives, and distribute wetland data so it can be used by agencies, states, and other stakeholders. Another key statutory deliverable is producing a national wetlands status and trends report to Congress every 10 years. That report is meant to summarize changes in wetland acreage and condition over time and provide decision-makers with a clear, evidence-based understanding of wetland gains, losses, and broader trends.
Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, reflecting the program's emphasis on public-sector partners that can support large-scale, standardized geospatial datasets and reporting. Because the opportunity is tied to a national inventory, the kinds of work that typically align with this authority include collecting or compiling wetland-related source information, interpreting imagery and other geospatial inputs, producing or updating wetland maps in accordance with NWI standards, converting legacy mapping into digital formats, improving data management and archiving, and ensuring that final datasets are packaged and distributed in ways that are accessible and usable. Work may also support components needed for the 10-year status and trends reporting process, such as sampling, analysis, quality assurance, and documentation.
The funding opportunity number is F19AS00336. It was created on August 14, 2019, with an original closing date of September 30, 2019. The listed award ceiling is $43,254, and the notice indicates expected awards of 0, which often suggests this posting may have been intended for a specific project arrangement, a continuation action, or an administrative purpose rather than a broad competitive round with multiple new awards. Even so, the notice clearly communicates the program mission and the statutory responsibilities it supports: nationwide wetland mapping, digitization, archiving, distribution, and periodic national-level reporting to Congress on wetland status and trends.
In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at sustaining the data backbone that many wetland-related decisions rely on. NWI datasets are frequently used for planning, conservation prioritization, environmental review, habitat assessments, and broader natural resource management. By funding state partners through a cooperative agreement structure, FWS can leverage state capacity and local knowledge while still maintaining national consistency in methods, classification, documentation, and final data products.Apply for F19AS00336
