What the grant funds
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; to suppress and control the BTS on Guam to support the restoration of the island's native ecosystems; to avoid electrical outages to civilian or military facilities caused by the snakes; and to ultimately develop the capability to eradicate the BTS from Guam. The Administration will prioritize projects that drive economic growth, ensure reliable and affordable energy, and strengthen national security and regional stability.
