This is a federal program for Great Lakes state and tribal natural resource agencies running interjurisdictional aquatic invasive species projects — prevention, detection, and pathway intervention under state and tribal AIS management plans. A private business cannot apply, and a nonprofit cannot apply on its own either; only an eligible agency or an entity it formally designates can. If you are not one of those agencies or their designee, do not bother applying.
