## Objectives

The FWS established this assistance listing to be used: 1) temporarily by new financial assistance programs for awards needing to be issued immediately and before a standalone assistance listing can be established, and 2) to assign to awards providing support for ad hoc activities and projects unrelated to any other FWS assistance listing. Activities under this program support the conservation of the Nation’s natural resources and may include congressionally directed, externally funded, unsolicited, or ad hoc support for land management, research, data collection and analysis, training, award competitions, fellowships, contributions to intergovernmental and multinational councils, committees, and working groups, and emergency response activities.
