Opportunity Summary:
BioBlitz 2012 (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00072) was a discretionary grant opportunity released by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Natural Resources funding activity category and the CFDA program 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The core purpose of the grant was to support a citizen science effort focused on documenting and recording biodiversity in the Pryor Mountain Wilderness Study Area. In practical terms, the project was aimed at organizing or carrying out a "BioBlitz"-style event or campaign where community members, volunteers, and scientific partners work together over a concentrated period to observe, identify, and record as many species as possible, generating usable information about local plants, wildlife, and other biological resources.
The opportunity was structured as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) with BLM expecting to make one award. While the estimated total funding listed for the opportunity was $50,000, individual awards were constrained by an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $2,500. The listing indicated that no cost sharing or matching was required, which lowered the barrier to participation by not requiring applicants to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving an award. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications that would have been provided in the full announcement package.
From a timeline standpoint, the notice was posted and created on April 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 10, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on June 1, 2012. Applicants were directed to retrieve the full announcement instructions and application materials through the "Application" tab referenced in the notice, and a point of contact was provided for access issues: Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 406-896-5196 or landerso@blm.gov. Overall, the grant was designed to fund a focused, public-engagement biodiversity documentation project on BLM-managed lands in the Pryor Mountain area, leveraging citizen science to improve the understanding and record of species presence and diversity within the Wilderness Study Area.
