Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Assessing Impacts of Climate Change on Rare Plants" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00350) was offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support a focused project aimed at understanding how rare plant populations may respond as climate conditions change over time. The core purpose of the project is to generate practical, science-based information about climate-related risks to rare plants, recognizing climate change as a long-term threat not only to biological systems but also to the economic productivity that healthy ecosystems support. In plain terms, the work funded under this opportunity is meant to improve the ability of scientists and federal land managers to anticipate changes, plan conservation actions, and manage federal trust resources more effectively as environmental conditions shift.
This opportunity was structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category, indicating that the awardee would likely work closely with BLM and potentially other partners during project implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $995,000. The listed award ceiling was $442,000, and the award floor was $0, which typically means proposals of varying sizes could be considered up to the maximum award amount. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, reducing a common barrier for eligible organizations.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education from applying under this particular listing. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which places it within a broader federal assistance framework supporting conservation and management efforts for plant and wildlife resources.
From a deliverables and outcomes perspective, the project emphasized producing information that would be broadly useful to both researchers and federal land managers. The description highlights that the results would help improve conservation and management decisions affecting federal trust resources and would address both national and state-level data needs related to climate change effects. While the brief summary does not spell out the exact methods expected, the intent suggests work such as monitoring rare plant populations, assessing habitat vulnerability, modeling climate impacts, and translating findings into management-relevant guidance or datasets that can be used in planning and decision-making.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on September 3, 2010, with an original closing date of September 15, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of September 20, 2010. The listing was archived on October 15, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 202-912-7098 or by email at lisaclayton@blm.gov.
