Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered this discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Biocontrol Monitoring and Land Restoration in the McInnis Canyons NCA," to support ongoing scientific work focused on controlling tamarisk, an invasive, non-native plant species that can disrupt riparian and desert ecosystems. The project centers on monitoring the release and long-term performance of biological control (biocontrol) agents that have been introduced to reduce tamarisk populations, and on using the findings from that monitoring to inform restoration actions in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area (NCA). In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at continued field-based investigations that track whether the biocontrol effort is working as intended, how tamarisk responds over time, and what ecological changes follow as tamarisk pressure decreases, including how native vegetation and habitat conditions recover or need assistance through restoration.
This funding opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00075, with funding provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. The activity category is natural resources, and the scope suggests applied ecological science: collecting data, evaluating success metrics for the biocontrol agents, and supporting land restoration decisions based on evidence. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000. The award ceiling was also $20,000 (indicating the full project budget supported through the grant would not exceed that amount), while the award floor was $1,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional clarifications that would have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on May 12, 2010, and closed on May 26, 2010, with the archive date listed as June 30, 2010. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Yvonne Pier at yvonnepier@blm.gov. The official listing referenced Grants.gov as the source for the full announcement details and application instructions.
