Opportunity Summary:
The ARRA Integrated Pest Management Plan (Alaska) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00014) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement designed to support on-the-ground invasive plant management work in Alaska’s Dalton Management Area (DMA), with a focus on the corridor along the Dalton Highway. The core purpose was to carry out the Dalton Management Area Integrated Pest Management Strategic Plan by pairing Alaska BLM with a partner organization capable of providing an intern who could assist BLM staff with field-based invasive plant activities. The project’s emphasis reflects Alaska’s strategic advantage in invasive species prevention: because much of the state remains relatively uninvaded compared to other regions, early detection, rapid response, and consistent monitoring can still meaningfully slow or stop new introductions and reduce spread.
The work described is practical, field-heavy, and rooted in applied resource management. The intern-supported duties included identifying plant species in the field (including distinguishing native vegetation from nonnative invasive plants), taking measurements, and conducting repeated monitoring to document the location, extent, and behavior of infestations over time. The field program primarily involved three types of activities: inventory (surveying and mapping infestations and potential new occurrences), control (supporting efforts to manage or remove priority nonnative invasive plants), and monitoring (tracking treatment outcomes and changes in plant populations). The announcement also highlights that fieldwork would occur in semi-primitive conditions, which signals remote logistics, rugged travel, variable weather, and limited amenities typical of work along a long highway corridor in Alaska.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary Recovery Act (ARRA) opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, meaning BLM expected to have substantial involvement in project implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency participation. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with total funding set at $35,000 (and both the award floor and ceiling listed as $35,000, indicating a fixed award amount). No cost sharing or matching was required. The activity aligned with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, consistent with the invasive plant and habitat protection focus. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have been contained in the full announcement on Grants.gov.
Key dates show this was a short-deadline announcement: it was posted and created on April 12, 2010, and closed on April 26, 2010, with an archive date of May 31, 2010. Interested applicants at the time were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement materials, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, Bureau of Land Management, at 907-271-5193 or s2smith@blm.gov.
