Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Idaho Craters of the Moon AIM Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00253) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The project focus was on vegetation assessment, inventory, and monitoring data collection at Craters of the Moon in Idaho, using AIM (Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring) implementation approaches. In practical terms, the work supported collecting field-based vegetation and related resource condition data to help BLM evaluate ecological conditions, track changes over time, and strengthen land management decisions with consistent, defensible monitoring information.
BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. While the estimated total funding available was listed as $346,000, the award ceiling for a single award was $106,000 (with no stated award floor). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching, which typically reduces barriers for applicants by allowing the project to be funded without mandatory non-federal contributions.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, as long as the applicant met any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date were both August 20, 2012, and the application deadline was September 4, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on November 4, 2012, indicating the solicitation period had concluded.
This opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which generally covers projects that conserve and manage plant and wildlife resources on public lands through monitoring, assessment, and related field and analytical work. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, applicants could expect substantial involvement from the federal agency in project execution, such as coordination on methods, data standards, field protocols, deliverables, and reporting requirements, which is common when projects must align with agency monitoring frameworks like AIM.
For applicants needing access to the complete announcement package or experiencing technical issues, BLM listed Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer, as the point of contact (208-373-3817, cshaver@blm.gov). The full instructions and application materials were provided through the announcement's application download link referenced in the posting.
