Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00221
The Genesee River and Genesee River Watershed Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Settlement funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00221) is a discretionary grant and cooperative agreement program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Its purpose is to fund on-the-ground restoration projects within the Genesee River watershed that help make up for past injuries to natural resources. In practical terms, the program is aimed at compensating for environmental harm by restoring damaged natural resources, rebuilding and supporting the habitats those resources depend on, and improving the ecological services those resources provide (for example, healthier aquatic and riparian habitats, improved wildlife use, and enhanced ecosystem function).
This opportunity sits within the Natural Resources and Science and Technology/research-and-development activity categories and is associated with CFDA number 15.658. The funding is intended for restoration-focused work rather than general planning or unrelated research, with an emphasis on tangible actions that directly address injuries recognized through the NRDAR process. The solicitation comes from the Trustees overseeing the Genesee River Watershed NRDAR settlement, and proposals are expected to align with the Trustees restoration goals and priorities for compensating the public for lost or diminished natural resource value.
Eligibility is broadly open. The announcement allows participation by state and federal agency personnel, local governments such as cities, towns, and county governments, non-governmental organizations, and even individuals, described as “unrestricted” eligibility subject to any additional clarifications in the full notice. This wide eligibility suggests the program is designed to attract a range of project proponents, including public entities managing land and water resources, conservation organizations implementing habitat projects, and other qualified applicants capable of delivering restoration outcomes.
From a funding perspective, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $500,000 and anticipates approximately five awards. That combination implies a small set of competitively selected projects with moderate-to-substantial budgets, rather than many small awards. The program uses grant and cooperative agreement instruments, which typically means projects may either be funded with standard grant administration or, in the case of cooperative agreements, involve a higher degree of federal involvement during implementation (for example, coordination on technical approach, milestones, or compliance requirements).
Key administrative details included in the source data show the opportunity was created on May 24, 2019, with an original closing date of September 30, 2019. While those dates indicate the original application window for this specific posting, the summary point is that the funding was structured as a time-limited competitive solicitation tied to a settlement-driven restoration effort in the Genesee River watershed.Apply for F19AS00221
