Opportunity Information: Apply for OIA BIL ECOSYSTEMS RESTORATION 2023
The Department of the Interior, through the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA), is offering a discretionary grant opportunity for Fiscal Year 2023 under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Ecosystem Restoration Program. The funding is intended to support practical, on-the-ground environmental restoration and rehabilitation work in U.S. insular areas, using the program's guiding principles as the framework for project selection and design. This opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.875 and is focused squarely on ecosystem restoration activities rather than general environmental planning.
Projects must align with one or more of three specific BIL Ecosystem Restoration program activity areas. First, "Invasive Species (Activity 6)" supports efforts to prevent, control, or manage invasive species that threaten native ecosystems, biodiversity, agriculture, and local resources. Second, "Revegetate Mined Lands (Activity 8)" targets restoration of lands disturbed by mining or similar extractive impacts, emphasizing replanting and stabilizing damaged areas to reduce erosion, improve habitat, and help ecosystems recover. Third, "Native Seed Strategy for Rehabilitation and Restoration (Activity 9)" supports work that strengthens the availability and use of native plant materials for restoration, such as developing native seed sources, propagation capacity, or systems that ensure restoration projects use appropriate, locally adapted species.
Eligibility is limited to non-federal entities that operate in, or whose missions directly benefit, the insular areas identified in the notice: Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Eligible applicants include local government agencies, and the announcement notes that this can include local hospitals or health centers and utilities, as well as institutions of higher education. Nonprofit organizations may also apply, but their mission must directly benefit the listed insular areas. All applicants must comply with federal grant administration requirements under 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance). One important restriction is explicitly stated: under 2 CFR 200.444, OIA cannot provide funding to the judicial branch of local governments.
The opportunity is identified as "OIA BIL ECOSYSTEMS RESTORATION 2023" and was created on July 21, 2023, with an original closing date of November 1, 2023. The notice does not specify an award ceiling (it is listed as 0) and does not provide the expected number of awards in the provided data, so prospective applicants would typically need to consult the full notice or agency materials for any additional details on typical award sizes, budgets, or selection criteria.Apply for OIA BIL ECOSYSTEMS RESTORATION 2023
