Description
The Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) is requesting funding proposals for its Brown Treesnake (BTS) Control Program to prevent the migration of the BTS from Guam to other United States jurisdictions, suppress and control the BTS on Guam, avoid electrical outages, and ultimately develop the capability to eradicate the BTS from Guam. The program will focus on risk reduction through interdiction and landscape scale suppression. Eligible applicants are limited to members and active participants of the Brown Treesnake Technical Working Group.
• The program will provide funding for projects that drive economic growth, ensure reliable and affordable energy, and strengthen national security and regional stability.
• Applicants must submit a project narrative, budget narrative, and other required documents.
• The program will prioritize projects that reduce the risk of BTS-caused economic loss, power outages, and ecological devastation.
• The program will also focus on developing new technology for landscape scale suppression and operational planning and implementation projects.
• Applicants must demonstrate measurable progress and track expected outputs and outcomes.
