Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Inland Empire Tree Improvement Coop grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI09 0792) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resources, specifically forests and woodlands resource management (CFDA 15.233). The purpose of the award was to support continued involvement in the Inland Empire Tree Improvement Cooperative, a collaborative effort that secures genetically improved seed and seedlings to meet reforestation needs. In practical terms, the work supported by this agreement centers on ensuring that reforestation projects have access to higher-quality planting materials, which can improve forest regeneration outcomes and long-term forest health.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning it was intended to involve substantial collaboration between the federal agency and the recipient rather than functioning as a simple pass-through grant. The announcement anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000, and the award ceiling was also listed as $5,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, so applicants were not expected to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of funding.
Eligibility for this specific posting was limited in a way that signals it was not an open competition. The eligibility notes explain that the announcement was for continuation of an existing agreement with the Western Forestry and Conservation Association. While the general eligibility category is listed as "Others" with a reference to additional eligibility details, the continuation language makes clear that the intended recipient was already identified and the action was essentially to extend or continue a current cooperative relationship tied to the Inland Empire Tree Improvement Cooperative.
Key dates were tightly defined. The opportunity was posted on January 14, 2009, and applications were due by close of business on January 30, 2009, submitted through Grants.gov. The archive date was February 28, 2009, indicating the announcement is no longer active. For applicants or readers who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer, reachable at mritacco@blm.gov, and the general information link referenced was Grants.gov.
