Information on the projects selected and awarded will be published annually in the Federal Register. Lists of past awards are also available from the Service and AFWA (see Section G, Federal Awarding Agency Contacts).Eligible activities for T-MSCGP include sport fisheries and wildlife management, such as research projects, fish and wildlife habitat improvements, and other purposes consistent with the enabling legislation. R3 activities for sport fishing or boating are only eligible under T-MSCGP.Eligible activities for R3-MSCGP are hunter recruitment and recreational shooter recruitment activities that promote a national hunting and shooting sports recruitment program, including related communication and outreach activities.
