Under the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) provides grant funds to eligible States to conserve, restore, and manage wildlife and sport fish resources. States may provide WSFR funds in the form of a subaward to other non-Federal entities, such as universities, to accomplish grant objectives.
The National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative (NBCI) at the University of Tennessee provides data and tools to various States and external partners (such as nongovernmental organizations) to restore wild populations of bobwhite quail.
