Opportunity Information: Apply for OIA BTS2024
The OIA Brown Treesnake Program 2024 funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number: OIA BTS2024) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior under CFDA 15.875. The program is focused on preventing the spread of the brown treesnake (BTS) beyond areas where it is already established, with an emphasis on protecting other islands and jurisdictions from accidental transport and introduction.
Funding under this announcement is intended to support practical, on-the-ground work in three closely related areas. First, it supports interdiction efforts, meaning activities designed to stop BTS from being moved unintentionally through cargo, transportation hubs, or other pathways to new locations. Second, it supports public outreach and education projects that inform residents, travelers, and industry stakeholders about BTS risks, reporting procedures, and prevention practices. Third, it also supports related interdiction and preparedness work tied to early detection and rapid response, which generally means improving the ability to find snakes quickly if they appear in a new area and responding fast enough to prevent establishment.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Applicants must be members of the Brown Treesnake Technical Working Group, which includes (but is not limited to) representatives of the Government of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the State of Hawaii, and relevant federal agencies. The announcement notes that eligibility and administration are aligned with the federal assistance rules in 2 CFR 200, which sets the uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for federal awards.
The posted opportunity details list the application closing date as March 29, 2024, and the opportunity category as discretionary with the funding instrument type identified as a grant. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates that a maximum award amount was not specified in the summarized listing and applicants would need to rely on the full notice or agency guidance for funding ranges, budgeting expectations, and the anticipated number of awards (which is not provided in the summary data). The opportunity record shows a creation date of October 26, 2023, identifying when the announcement information was first posted.Apply for OIA BTS2024
