Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CO Natural Areas Program Impacts on Vegetation and Rare Mustards in the Piceance Basin in Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00181) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resource research and conservation management in western Colorado. The central purpose of the project was to study how energy development is affecting vegetation, with a specific emphasis on the reproductive success of two rare mustard species found in the Piceance Basin: Physaria congesta and Physaria obcordata. In practical terms, the work was aimed at understanding whether activities associated with energy extraction and related infrastructure (such as increased surface disturbance, altered habitat conditions, and other development pressures) are influencing these plants' ability to successfully flower, set seed, and maintain viable populations over time.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM anticipated having substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and it was tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), a program area commonly used for projects that inform conservation decisions on public lands. Only one award was expected, suggesting the agency was looking for a single lead organization or research team to carry out the study and deliver findings that could directly support management decisions in the basin.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $6,250. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as a condition of eligibility. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, effectively open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may have been provided in the full announcement text.
The timeline for the solicitation was short and clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on July 15, 2010 (with a creation date of July 16, 2010), and it closed on August 4, 2010. It was subsequently archived on August 14, 2010, indicating it is no longer active and was only available for applications during that 2010 window. For applicants needing assistance accessing the announcement, the listed contact was Yvonne Pier at the BLM, reachable by phone at 303-239-3908 and by email at yvonnepier@blm.gov. The announcement also pointed applicants to Grants.gov for full details via the provided additional information link.
Overall, the grant was designed to generate applied, management-relevant scientific information about how intensive land uses tied to energy development may be influencing the long-term viability of two uncommon plant species in the Piceance Basin. The expected outcome would be data and analysis that could guide BLM natural areas program decisions, including potential mitigation measures, land use planning considerations, and conservation actions intended to reduce impacts on these rare mustard populations and associated vegetation communities.
