## What the grant funds

The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) and the Service work cooperatively to manage T-MSGCP and R3-MSGCP. Administratively, both programs function similarly, with AFWA setting the strategic priorities for project activities and providing the Service a priority list of projects to be considered for awards and the Service administering the program and managing the awards. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), also called a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), provides application guidance for both competitive programs, T-MSCGP and R3-MSCGP.Proposals must address eligible activities in one or more of the selected AFWA Strategic Priorities to be considered for funding. AFWA annually updates the Strategic Priorities. They are used to guide the proposal development and grant selection for the programs. The primary goal of both programs, T-MSCGP and R3-MSCGP, is to provide grant funds to address regional or national priority needs of the States and their partners that are beyond the scope and capabilities of a single State within the scope of eligible activities. Information on the projects selected and awarded will be published annually in the Federal Register. Lists of past awards are also available from the Service and AFWA (see Section G, Federal Awarding Agency Contacts).Eligible activities for T-MSCGP include sport fisheries and wildlife management, such as research projects, fish and wildlife habitat improvements, and other purposes consistent with the enabling legislation. R3 activities for sport fishing or boating are only eligible under T-MSCGP.Eligible activities for R3-MSCGP are hunter recruitment and recreational shooter recruitment activities that promote a national hunting and shooting sports recruitment program, including related communication and outreach activities.
