Add a project

Submit a proposal for fiscal year 2026 by Jan. 10, 2025

If you would like to suggest a new project for the Species Protection Account, visit the Utah Watershed Restoration Initiative database website and register or log in. Please note the following:

  • If you have not entered projects into the WRI system previously, you will need to create a WRI user account in order to submit a project for consideration.
  • Your project does not need to address watershed initiatives to be considered; there have been no changes to the funding intent or the Species Protection Account grant award criteria.
  • Some WRI project fields may not be applicable to your project; if this is the case, simply enter "N/A" into those fields. (The fields require an entry to complete the submission.)

Application deadlines

The application window for the 2026 fiscal year closes Jan. 10, 2025. The Species Protection Account Advisory Committee will evaluate all submitted project proposals in April-May, and the account administrator will develop work plans for projects the committee recommends funding. Those plans will be presented to the DWR director's office for approval.
