Opportunity Information: Apply for W911KB 25 2 0004
The grant opportunity titled "Management Invasive Species, Aquatic Plants and Management Habitat, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, 354 CES/CEIE, Natural Resources" is a Department of Defense natural resources project focused on controlling invasive aquatic plants and improving habitat conditions on and around waterbodies at Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB) in Alaska. The overall purpose is to support the base's Natural Resource Program by conserving and enhancing native ecosystems, maintaining functional ecological communities, and protecting fish and wildlife resources in a way that is compatible with ongoing military operations. In practical terms, the work centers on eradicating or suppressing invasive aquatic vegetation and managing surrounding vegetation so the base can maintain healthier waterbodies and habitat conditions that better support native fish, wildlife, and plant communities.
A major driver of the project is implementation of the EAFB Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP). The INRMP framework is designed to protect and enhance biological diversity and ecological health across Department of Defense lands while reducing conflicts between mission requirements and natural resource constraints. This project aligns with that intent by emphasizing natural resource protection, enhancement, and restoration where needed to support fish, wildlife, or plants, while also aiming to minimize future restrictions on the military mission that can arise when unmanaged invasive species or degraded habitat conditions create regulatory, ecological, or operational complications. The opportunity positions invasive species control and habitat management as proactive stewardship actions that sustain long-term ecosystem productivity and resilience, including for both game and non-game species.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the awarding agency expects a level of collaboration or substantial involvement beyond what is typical in a standard grant. The award is being made under the authority of the Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 670 and related sections), which governs natural resources conservation and management on military installations and provides a legal basis for partnering with outside entities to carry out INRMP-related work. The announcement specifies that the recipient must be an eligible partner under 16 U.S.C. 670c-1(a), which includes qualified state and local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, non-governmental organizations, and individuals. The eligibility is described as open to all applicants that meet the criteria, but the award is limited to those categories defined by the Sikes Act authority.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary and falls under a natural resources activity category, with CFDA number 12.005. The funding opportunity number is W911KB 25 2 0004, and the issuing agency is identified as the Alaska District. The opportunity anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $133,000. The posting date (CreationDate) is 2025-06-04, and the original closing date for applications is 2025-07-07. Overall, this is a targeted, installation-specific natural resources project intended to deliver on invasive aquatic plant eradication and habitat management outcomes that directly support INRMP goals, ecological stewardship responsibilities, and continued mission readiness at Eielson Air Force Base.Apply for W911KB 25 2 0004
