The Service has developed an innovative approach to administering awards to eligible recipients of Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration (“WSFR”), State Wildlife Grant (“SWG”) and Competitive State Wildlife Grant (“C-SWG”) financial assistance program awards (“States”) who have identified a common, eligible projects best served by combining their efforts and resources.

We use the term “Collaborative Conservation Initiative” (“CCI”) to refer to agreements between parties who work together on eligible projects, including those to conserve fish, wildlife, and their habitats across geopolitical boundaries.  Funding for a CCI must include Federal awards to two or more States using WSFR, SWG or C-SWG funds. CCI activities must provide a benefit to all Participating States, although it is possible work will not always occur within each Participating State. 

This operational guidance page will be updated as new information about CCI implementation becomes availablepage is designed to provide information and resources to best help understand the CCI innovative process.
