Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Idaho CWCS Continuation Projects 2010 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 10 1808) was a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support natural resource work in Idaho. The core purpose was to strengthen and continue a cost-share style partnership between BLM and the State of Idaho focused on managing public lands for priority fish and wildlife species, rare plants, and the habitats they rely on. In practical terms, the funding was aimed at on-the-ground conservation and habitat management efforts that align with Idaho's Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CWCS), emphasizing coordinated state-federal action on species and habitats of concern across BLM-managed lands.
Funding for the announcement was estimated at $500,000 total, with an anticipated 10 awards and an award ceiling of $100,000 per project. The program was listed under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). Even though the goal was framed around cost-share partnership work, the announcement indicated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants. The funding instrument was explicitly a cooperative agreement, which generally implies a more hands-on working relationship with the agency during project implementation compared to a standard grant, including substantial federal involvement in coordination, oversight, or technical collaboration.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, and the notice specifically referenced the Sikes Act as the legal authority enabling BLM to enter into agreements with state agencies for conservation and related resource management activities. That means the intended applicant pool was essentially state-level entities in Idaho rather than universities, nonprofits, local governments, or private organizations.
Key dates show it was posted on December 1, 2009, with a creation date of February 17, 2010. The closing date was updated due to a system conversion: what had originally been March 29, 2010 was changed to March 12, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on April 11, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Melinda D. Ritacco (mritacco@blm.gov), Grants Management Officer.
