Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Biological Weed Control Research in Montana" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00042) focused on invasive and noxious plant management. The core purpose of the project was to support research activities needed to advance biological weed control in Montana, specifically work related to collecting potential biocontrol organisms, screening them for suitability and safety, rearing them for use, and completing the steps necessary to obtain approval for their introduction as biological control agents. In practical terms, the project was aimed at moving biocontrol candidates through the pipeline from field collection and evaluation to the regulatory or approval stage required before any release or introduction can occur.
This opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources and used a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding listing anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000. The notice also listed an award ceiling of $16,000, which typically functions as a maximum amount for an individual award or a specific budget constraint in the announcement as published. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, narrowing applicants to Montana state entities or other qualifying state-level agencies or organizations capable of carrying out the research and coordination required for biocontrol development and approval. The assistance listing referenced CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management, which aligns with the program area and helps applicants understand the federal assistance program under which the award would be administered.
The opportunity was posted on April 22, 2010, and closed on May 23, 2010 (both the original and current closing dates were the same). Applicants seeking more details were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or administrative questions was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, at BLM (phone 406-896-5196, email landerso@blm.gov).
