Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO CSU Extension Tri River Area (CSU Extension) funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00334) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on natural resources and culturally grounded education. Its central purpose is to continue Ute Ethnobotany project workshops and to provide financial assistance to the Ute Learning Garden. In practical terms, the project is meant to support hands-on learning and community programming that connects traditional Ute plant knowledge and ethnobotanical practices with local residents and students, creating an educational setting that benefits the Ute people while also serving the broader community.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals a more active role for the federal agency in project coordination, technical input, or oversight during implementation. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. The listed award ceiling is $250,000 and the award floor is $30,000, indicating BLM could fund a smaller project scope if appropriate, but the program was prepared to support a sizeable effort up to the full estimated amount. The listing indicates there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility for this opportunity was effectively limited to Colorado State University (CSU Extension), as stated in the eligibility information. While the general eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," the clarification specifies CSU Extension, implying it was a targeted announcement intended for that partner, likely due to established capacity, ongoing work in the Tri River Area, or an existing relationship supporting the Ute Ethnobotany project and the Ute Learning Garden.
Key dates show the opportunity moved quickly. It was posted on September 2, 2014, with an original closing date of September 16, 2014, later extended to September 18, 2014. The archive date was September 30, 2014, meaning the application window was short and the opportunity is now closed. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.238, which corresponds to a BLM assistance listing. Applicants seeking the full application instructions were directed to download the complete announcement from the application materials, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, reachable at ypier@blm.gov.
