Grant Opportunity Analysis

The Natural Resources Conservation Service is seeking applications from private institutions of higher education for the Fiscal Year 2026 Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program. Selected partners will provide landowner assistance for restoration and on-farm trapping efforts, as well as deliver related services to mitigate the agricultural and environmental damages caused by invasive feral swine. These collaborative pilot projects require coordination with both the awarding agency and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, which retains operational control of management activities, and applicants must secure cash or in-kind cost-share commitments supported by formal, authorized commitment letters. Applications are due by September 21, 2026, with an estimated total program funding of $35,000,000, individual award ceilings of $3,000,000, and inquiries can be sent to Grants Management Specialist Sarah Trumbull at sarah.trumbull@usda.gov.
