Eligible applicants include public and private organizations and individuals, who must apply via grants.gov and maintain an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Projects must align with specific objectives, such as improving biodiversity management, ecosystem resilience, and tribal consultations. Applicants will be evaluated based on the relevance and impact of their projects, collaboration with agencies, and cost realism. Awards will depend on project relevance and funding availability, with an emphasis on proposals demonstrating substantial benefit to DoD missions. Legal requirements stipulate adherence to national policies concerning non-discrimination, environmental compliance, and ethical guidelines during project execution. The program aims to foster sustainable stewardship while integrating advanced technologies and data management strategies to further conservation goals.
