Opportunity Summary:

The BLM Idaho 2010 Challenge Cost Share (CCS) Program Continuation Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 09 0858) is a discretionary Department of the Interior funding announcement designed to support ongoing, locally driven public land management and conservation work in Idaho. It is structured to help the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) work with non-federal partners on practical projects that benefit the general public and protect or enhance public resources. The program emphasis is on achieving results in a cost-effective way at the local level, using partnerships to carry forward projects that are already underway or being continued.

The purpose of the program is broad and resource-focused. Projects may address conservation or other public land management needs tied to recreation, fish and wildlife, special status plants, water quality, cultural sites, and historical trails, among other related public resource priorities. In other words, proposals can span ecological restoration and habitat work, recreation site improvements, monitoring and stewardship efforts, protection of sensitive species or plant communities, water-related resource improvements, and preservation or management activities connected to cultural and historic assets on public lands.

Funding is provided through cooperative agreements under the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.238, Challenge Cost Share). The announcement anticipated approximately 60 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of about $800,000 and an award ceiling of $40,000 per project. While the program is framed around cost sharing and partnerships, the listing states that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants under this specific opportunity, which can lower the barrier to participation while still encouraging collaborative project design and implementation.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types (for example, governments, nonprofits, educational institutions, and other entities), subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text on Grants.gov. The key operational expectation is partnership: the program is intended to engage non-federal partners in delivering on-the-ground outcomes that align with BLM public land stewardship goals and produce tangible public benefits.

Key dates included a posted date of February 24, 2009, with an original closing date of March 31, 2009, later updated to an application deadline of April 8, 2009, and an archive date of April 30, 2009. Applicants were directed to the full opportunity details via Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Melinda D. Ritacco (mritacco@blm.gov), Grants Management Officer.
