Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Idaho CWCS Continuation Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 09 0841) is a discretionary Department of the Interior funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management focused on natural resources work in Idaho. It supports the Idaho CWCS program, whose central aim is to build and maintain a cost-share partnership with the State of Idaho to improve public land management for key fish and wildlife species, rare plants, and the habitats those species rely on. In practical terms, the opportunity is geared toward sustaining and advancing conservation and resource management work on public lands where habitat protection, species conservation, and related management actions are priorities.
This notice is specifically intended for continuation funding, meaning it is not designed to start brand-new projects from scratch but to accept applications from ongoing projects that need additional funds to continue or complete existing work. Applicants are instructed to clearly label their submission as a continuation and to include the current award identifier tied to the existing project. The authority cited for issuing these cooperative agreements is the Sikes Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-452), which enables BLM to enter into cooperative agreements with state agencies, reinforcing that this is a partnership-driven program rather than a typical standalone grant.
Awards are expected to be made through cooperative agreements, an instrument typically used when the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement during performance (for example, coordination on objectives, methods, deliverables, or field priorities). The program anticipates approximately 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 across all awards. Individual awards have a ceiling of $100,000. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement in the announcement, even though the program description emphasizes cost-share partnership; applicants should still be prepared for collaboration expectations typical of this type of effort, but the posting does not require a match as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the Sikes Act-based cooperative agreement approach and the stated partnership with the State of Idaho. The associated CFDA program listing is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which signals that the funded work falls under conservation and habitat/resource management activities. Key dates listed include a posted date of February 17, 2009, with closing dates in September 2009 (the notice indicates it is open to accept ongoing projects needing additional funding, with a current closing date of September 18, 2009 and an archive date of September 25, 2009). Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov.
For assistance, the point of contact listed is Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer, reachable at mritacco@blm.gov, particularly for anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically. The opportunity is framed as a continuation funding mechanism to keep Idaho-focused conservation and habitat management projects moving forward on public lands in coordination with state partners.
