FY2006 Activities: Selections are made
We are pleased to announce that the Fish and Wildlife Service has selected the following activities for funding in FY2006. This is based on priority research and management needs as determined by the FWS Regions. This list includes new 2006 activities only. The most complete list of items to receive funding this year can be found here.
Next Steps
Funding for continuing activities and new technical assistance activities are scheduled for dispersal on the initial budget allocation. Nothing is required on your part to receive these funds.
New activities which include research components require a peer reviewed study plan prior to the release of funds. PIs should initiate the peer review process using your local (Science Center or Coop Unit) peer review policy. Upon completion of the peer review process, please submit a copy of the study plan, including appropriate supervisory approval, to Steve Hilburger in Reston. Electronic copies are preferred, although hardcopy and faxes are also acceptable. Regardless of the submission method, supervisory approvals must be included. Please see the list Notes column below if you are not sure if a study plan is required. Once the plan is received, a change of allocation will be prepared to disperse the funds.
PIs or other appropriate Center/Coop Unit staff are required to include a description of the work under BASIS+ project 3210APN. A subtask number is assigned to each activity at the time funds are dispersed. The PI and AO are set up as Task Leaders.
A complete summary of the funding process may be found here.
