Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 8
The grant opportunity titled "MGT, INVASIVE SPECIES, IRONWOOD REMOVAL, WAKE ISLAND" is a U.S. Department of Defense funding program focused on invasive plant management on Wake Atoll, a remote tropical atoll managed by the U.S. Air Force Pacific Air Forces Regional Support Center (PRSC). The project is built around a practical land management goal: reduce, control, and where feasible eliminate certain invasive plant species that have been introduced intermittently over the course of human occupancy and operations on the atoll. Because Wake is geographically isolated, invasive species can spread quickly and persist for long periods if not actively managed, but that same isolation can also make local eradication possible when control methods are applied consistently and in targeted areas.
The work is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning it is not simply a hands-off grant; it generally implies meaningful involvement or coordination with the federal partner during planning, implementation, and reporting. The funded entity, described as a non-federal entity (NFE), is expected to carry out on-the-ground invasive species control actions in specified locations identified within the project scope. The target species listed are Casuarina equisetifolia (commonly known as ironwood and often associated with coastal invasion and habitat alteration), Leucaena leucocephala (a fast-growing invasive tree/shrub often forming dense stands), Opuntia species (prickly pear-type cacti that can spread aggressively and hinder access and habitat function), and Agave species (succulents that can naturalize and expand, changing plant community structure). In practical terms, the project is about selective removal and control of these species to protect the atoll's ecological integrity and support long-term management objectives.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding under an environmental funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 12.632. It was issued by the Department of Defense, Omaha District, under funding opportunity number "NWO CESU 17 8." The posting date was March 2, 2017, with an original application closing date of April 3, 2017. The anticipated award structure indicates a single expected award, with a total award ceiling of $142,150. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the note that applicants needed to consult the additional eligibility text in the full announcement for precise qualifications, which commonly includes specific partner types, cooperative ecosystem studies unit (CESU) membership rules, or other constraints depending on the issuing office and agreement vehicle.
Overall, this opportunity is essentially a targeted invasive plant control and habitat management effort on a strategically important and ecologically sensitive atoll. The grant emphasizes applied management outcomes rather than purely research, with the key deliverable being measurable reduction and control of the listed invasive species in designated areas, using established invasive species tools suitable for Wake Atoll's remote logistics and operational setting.Apply for NWO CESU 17 8
