Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Cooperative Integrated Noxious Weed Management Program (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00169) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support invasive plant work in California. The core purpose of the award is to coordinate an Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) integrated noxious weed program, focused on stopping new infestations quickly and preventing established infestations from expanding. In practice, the program is meant to control existing noxious weeds, reduce their spread, and prevent further invasion and establishment by using integrated weed management methods that are economical, appropriate for local conditions, and effective over time.
A defining feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on coordination and integrated management across land ownership boundaries. The work is intended to occur on both private and public lands within the AFO WMA, reflecting the reality that invasive plants do not stay within administrative lines. The project concept centers on combining multiple control tools and strategies (for example, mechanical, chemical, cultural, and other accepted integrated approaches) in a way that best fits the site and the infestation stage, with EDRR suggesting a strong focus on finding and addressing new outbreaks before they become widespread and expensive to manage.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was listed under CFDA 15.230 (Invasive and Noxious Plant Management) and categorized as a Natural Resources funding activity. The BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling and floor were both $500,000, which indicates a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible grant sizes. No cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal match funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The announcement was posted June 11, 2015, with an application closing date of August 11, 2015, and it was later archived on December 31, 2019. Additional details and the full announcement were available via Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice. For applicant support or difficulty accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov.
