Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Challenge Cost Share 2009 Reannouncement is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resources work in Idaho under the 2009 Challenge Cost Share Program (CFDA 15.238). Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, which typically means BLM expects to be involved in some level of coordination or collaboration during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This announcement is a reannouncement rather than a brand-new solicitation. Its stated purpose is to "recapture" applications that were previously submitted. In other words, applicants who had already applied under the earlier posting were asked to reapply because of changes in BLM's financial system. The eligibility note clarifies that eligible applications have already been identified, implying the reannouncement is mainly administrative and aimed at previously submitted proposals rather than inviting entirely new applicants, even though the listing shows eligibility as unrestricted in the general sense.
BLM anticipated making about 65 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $817,000. Individual award amounts could be up to $40,000, and the minimum award floor is listed as $0, which usually indicates there is no guaranteed minimum and that award sizes can vary depending on project scope and available funds. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds according to the listed requirements, which can reduce the burden on applicants compared to programs that require partner contributions.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 23, 2008, originally due January 30, 2009, and then extended or reopened with a current closing date of February 28, 2009. The archive date is March 30, 2009, indicating when the listing was expected to be taken down or moved into historical records.
For assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Melinda D. Ritacco, reachable at mritacco@blm.gov (also listed as melindaritacco@blm.gov). The funding opportunity number is BLM ID RFA 09 0787, which is the key reference identifier for locating the notice and matching it to related records or prior submissions.
