R3 (Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation)

R3 refers to "Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation" efforts to recruit new hunters, target shooters, anglers, and recreational boaters, retain participants, and reactivate those whose participation lapsed. There is no national standard for which grant funded objectives and activities pertain to R3, so each region, state and/or insular area should consult with their regional office for guidance. Some states or insular areas may have approved R3 plans, which users should reference to determine if their grant funded objectives are associated with R3.
