Opportunity Summary:
The ACES and Ecosystem Markets Conference grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM WO NOI L12AS00185) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It supports an education-focused cooperative agreement intended to fund and help deliver a conference centered on ecosystem services and ecosystem markets. The main purpose of the event is to create an open forum where participants can exchange real-world experiences and share current, state-of-the-art methods, tools, and processes for assessing ecosystem services and integrating that information into both public-sector and private-sector decision-making. In practical terms, the conference is designed to strengthen how ecosystem service concepts are applied in planning, policy, and resource management by improving shared understanding of best practices and by encouraging consistent approaches across communities and institutions.
A central theme of the conference is connecting science with implementation. The announcement emphasizes linking scientific research, on-the-ground practice, and institutional frameworks so that ecosystem service assessments can more effectively inform sustainable resource decisions. By convening ecosystem services communities from across the United States and internationally, the conference aims to encourage cross-sector and cross-disciplinary collaboration, helping attendees compare approaches, identify gaps, and align methods that can be used by agencies, researchers, practitioners, and market participants involved in ecosystem service valuation, conservation finance, and resource sustainability decisions.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award amount is fixed, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $25,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the federal agency expects substantial involvement in the project’s execution or coordination, such as collaboration on conference planning elements, deliverables, or oversight consistent with federal assistance requirements.
Eligibility for this specific opportunity is narrowly defined in the source information: the listed eligible applicant is the University of Florida Leadership and Education Foundation Inc., noted under the eligibility information field. Interested parties who need the full text of the announcement are directed to Grants.gov (the additional information link is provided in the listing).
