Opportunity Summary:
The Amphibian Surveys in Western Montana grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00047) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Its main purpose is to support field-based biological inventory work that establishes a baseline understanding of where certain sensitive wildlife groups occur and what their current status is across western Montana. The focus is on amphibians, reptiles, terrestrial mollusks, and bats, with the broader intent of generating reliable, on-the-ground information that BLM and other land managers can use to track changes over time and make better-informed management decisions.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The work is framed as a baseline assessment, meaning the project is expected to document current distribution and condition so that future surveys can detect trends, expansions or contractions in range, and potential population declines. In practical terms, projects funded under this type of announcement typically involve standardized surveys, consistent documentation methods, and deliverables that can be revisited in later years to support monitoring and adaptive management. The underlying rationale is that land management actions can affect habitats and species presence, and having credible baseline data makes it possible to evaluate those effects over time.
Funding for the award is modest and tightly defined. BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000 and an award ceiling of $45,000, indicating that the single selected project would likely receive up to the full amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants are not required to provide additional non-federal funds or in-kind contributions to be eligible, although voluntary leveraging of other resources can sometimes strengthen a proposal depending on the evaluation criteria described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full posting. In federal grant terms, this typically indicates that universities, non-profits, state or local governments, tribes, and potentially other entities could apply, as long as they meet any specific conditions spelled out in the detailed notice on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on April 28, 2010, with the application closing date set for June 1, 2010 (both the original and current closing date are the same), which suggests a relatively short application window.
Applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, at BLM. The contact details provided include phone (406-896-5196) and email (landerso@blm.gov). The official listing and any full instructions, required forms, evaluation factors, reporting expectations, and submission procedures were available through Grants.gov via the link included in the notice.
