OVERVIEW
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is seeking applications from conservation partners (see
Section II Definitions in the federal guidelines) for funding under the State & Tribal Wildlife Grants (SWG)
program. Information on this grant program can be found on the PFBC website.
Federal guidelines for the SWG Program state that “When submitting a SWG grant application, a state must
clearly indicate how the proposed grant objectives address one or more of the conservation needs identified
within its Strategy (Plan).” So, projects must identify and address goals, objectives, and strategies in the 2015
Pennsylvania Wildlife Action Plan (2015 Plan). Use of funds for recreational and law enforcement activities
will not be considered acceptable for PFBC grants. For specific information on activities eligible for funding
see: Section X of the federal guidelines.
SELECTION CRITERIA & BACKGROUND
The 2015 SWG Call-for-Projects seeks to allocate funding for activities that meet conservation priorities
identified in the 2015 Plan.
Need
Based upon priorities identified in the 2015 Plan, projects should provide one or more of the following
benefits:
1. Critical information relevant to goals, strategic objectives, operational objectives and/or action items
identified in the 2015 Plan.
2. Keep Pennsylvania’s Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) from becoming endangered or
threatened. One term used for this effort is “Keeping common native species common.”
3. Meet the requirements of the SGCN & their habitats identified in the 2015 Plan.
4. Support “non-traditional” efforts or address needs of “non-traditional” constituents.

State Wildlife Grant Application Form 2015
Provide information necessary to recover and manage species or guilds of SGCN.
Focus on species and habitats identified as high-priority by PFBC in this call-for-projects.
Focus on species for which Pennsylvania has a high responsibility regionally, globally or nationally.
Work to identify and/or conserve areas of high biodiversity.
Demonstrate clear, realistic, and measurable goals and objectives (i.e., performance measures).
Scope
Projects should clearly:
1. Address objectives and strategies identified in the PFBC SWG Priorities topic(s) and the 2015 Plan.
2. Provide information and/or initiate conservation actions to manage and conserve SGCN or guilds of
SGCN, as identified in the 2015 Plan.
3. Promote a landscape or ecosystem approach.
Impact and Timelines
1. Impact: Projects should produce tangible benefits of conservation actions and/or visibility. All projects
must address the 2015 SWG Priority topic(s) and demonstrate tangible benefits to resource
management.
Example: Achieving multiple resource management objectives (such as habitat protection efforts with
both terrestrial and aquatic benefits) is a benefit.
2. Timeline: Projects should be ready, or near-ready, to implement. SWG projects are typically of 1.5 to 2year duration, but with sufficient justification, projects of a longer duration may be allowed. Projects
must focus on the Priority Topic(s). Applicants must provide a start date for the work; however PFBC
cannot guarantee that an approved project will start on the proposed date.
3. Partnerships/Coordination: Applicants are encouraged to include multiple partners (e.g., federal, state
and local governments, corporations, private landowners, communities, non-profit organizations,
conservation organizations and sporting organizations).
4. Cost/Benefit: Project costs must be commensurate with the project activities and outcomes.
5. Public Involvement: Projects should incorporate public involvement in the planning and implementation
process, when appropriate.
6. Wildlife TRACS Conservation Action Categories and Performance Measures (Chapter 4): Applicants must
identify the Wildlife TRACS “Conservation Action” category for each task and sub-task and associated
performance measure(s) that will be used to assess the success of the project (see Supplemental
Information at the end of this application). Applicants may include additional performance measures if
the measures in the 2015 Plan are not relevant to the specific work. PFBC will review the suggested
performance measures and work with the successful applicant to ensure these measures are
appropriate.
Funding
 The State & Tribal Wildlife Grants Program (SWG) is a federal program and all applicable federal
guidelines must be followed.
 Selected projects will be funded on a reimbursement basis depending upon the type of project (Planning
up to 75% Federal: 25% Non-federal: Implementation up to 65% Federal: 35% Non-federal). See Section
X. (A) of the federal guidelines for definitions of Planning and Implementation. Project partner
organizations must have adequate operating funds to support the project’s work prior to reimbursement.
Indirect costs must be calculated using a federally approved rate and may not exceed 15 percent (15%).
The indirect rate is a factor in rating applications.
 Federal funds cannot be used to match SWG funds.
 After selection by PFBC, approval by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and a fully executed
cooperative agreement will be required prior to expenditure of any project funds. Final project approval
is subject to the availability of federal funds.
 Project partners must track and document all expenses. Following project close-out, project records
must be kept by the project partner and sub-grantees for four (4) years.
P age |4
PA Fish & Boat Commission
State Wildlife Grant Application Form 2015
 By accepting federal funds, organizations agree to adhere to all applicable Federal regulations and
compliance requirements, including timely submission of financial and project performance reports.
PFBC staff will offer guidance to applicants in completing any paperwork necessary to meet Federal
compliance standards. Specifically, projects must comply with:
o 43 CFR Part 12
o OMB Circulars, specifically (A-87, A-102, and A-133+ 2015 Supplement)
o National Environmental Policy Act
o Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
o Other applicable federal laws and regulations
 Only approved costs occurring during the approved grant period will be eligible for reimbursement using
the agreed upon match rate.
 Progress reports must describe work conducted to accomplish project objectives and must explain any
deviations from the stated objective or the deliverables. Detailed invoices must be submitted in
accordance with any cooperative agreement between the PFBC and the grant recipient. Reimbursement
of costs will occur only after progress reports have been reviewed and approved by the PFBC project
leader and the USFWS.
