Opportunity Summary:
The Aquatic Nuisance Species Inventory grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00053) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement aimed at helping Idaho detect and respond quickly to invasive zebra mussels and quagga mussels. The core purpose of the project is straightforward: sample and monitor water bodies in Idaho that are considered at risk for these invasive mussels so that any new infestation can be identified early and addressed rapidly. Because zebra and quagga mussels can spread quickly and cause serious ecological and infrastructure damage, the project emphasizes early detection through targeted sampling as a practical way to support rapid response efforts.
This opportunity was posted on April 27, 2010, and it falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, specifically connected to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to be more involved than in a standard grant, often through coordination, oversight, or collaboration during the project. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $96,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $1,000 (award floor) up to $24,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which reduces the burden on applicants and can make participation more feasible for state agencies.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating that Idaho state entities were the intended applicants rather than local governments, nonprofits, universities, or private organizations. The application window was relatively short: the posting date and creation date were both April 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 16, 2010. The announcement was archived on April 27, 2011. For application instructions, the notice directed applicants to use the "Application" link in the full announcement materials.
For assistance or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 208-373-4018 or melindaritacco@blm.gov.
