Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary federal grant opportunity, titled "Amphibian Study in Dillon, Montana Area" (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM MT NOI09 0907), was issued by the Department of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land Management. It was offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with an expected single award and an estimated total funding amount of $21,342. The stated purpose of the project is to carry out timed visual encounter surveys focused on terrestrial reptiles at rock outcrop sites that are spatially stratified across public lands in the Dillon, Montana area. In practical terms, the work involves systematically selecting rock outcrops across the landscape (rather than sampling only convenient sites) and conducting standardized, time-limited field searches to document which species are present and how frequently they are encountered. The resulting data are intended to establish a baseline for site occupancy and relative abundance, supporting future comparisons over time and helping land managers understand distribution patterns and potential conservation needs on BLM-managed lands.
The opportunity was open to a broad range of applicants, listed as unrestricted eligibility (meaning any entity type could apply, subject to any clarifications in the full announcement). Importantly, the posting indicates there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The associated CFDA number is 15.238, which corresponds to Department of the Interior assistance programs typically related to land and resource management activities.
Key timeline details show the announcement was posted on April 29, 2009, created on April 30, 2009, with the original closing date listed as April 30, 2009, and a current closing date of May 18, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on June 17, 2009. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Lori J. Anderson at landerso@blm.gov.
