Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO NCA LAND HEALTH RESEARCH opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00266) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant designed to support applied research that helps BLM improve land health outcomes, particularly in areas that are not currently meeting established land health standards. In practical terms, the goal is to fund research that strengthens BLM's ability to diagnose problems, select effective management actions, and track whether conditions are improving on BLM-managed lands. The opportunity is tied to natural resources management and is listed under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which signals a focus on on-the-ground conservation and land stewardship results.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to be actively involved during the project rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000. The maximum (award ceiling) is $90,000 and the minimum (award floor) is $22,500, indicating the agency was open to considering smaller-scope projects as well as one larger project, depending on the proposal and research design. No cost sharing or matching is required, which can make the opportunity more accessible because applicants are not obligated to bring additional non-federal funds to the table.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is broadly open to many types of applicants, as long as any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement are satisfied. Key dates show the opportunity was posted on August 24, 2012, with an original closing date of September 7, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of November 9, 2012. The archive date is December 31, 2012, indicating it is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding BLM priorities and the kind of research they were seeking to fund under this program.

For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact is Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer at ypier@blm.gov.
