Abstract: Applicants submit proposals for funding in response to notices of funding availability for international conservation grants. A panel of technical experts reviews each proposal to assess how well the proposed project addresses the requirements and priorities identified in the program’s authorizing legislation. This information collection ensures that reviewers have sufficient information to select proposals for funding.
