Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "BLM Idaho Inventory and Monitoring of Bat Populations at Abandoned Mine Land Sites" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00252) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resource management tied to abandoned mine lands in Idaho. The central purpose was to support work that helps BLM manage and protect bat habitat associated with abandoned mine features while also addressing public safety risks created by hazardous mine openings. In practical terms, the project intent combines wildlife conservation (understanding and safeguarding bat use of mine structures for roosting and other life stages) with abandoned mine land management responsibilities aimed at reducing human exposure to dangerous open shafts, adits, and other unstable structures.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency interaction. The activity falls under CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, which aligns with on-the-ground conservation and resource stewardship efforts. The announcement anticipated a single award, indicating BLM was looking to fund one lead applicant to carry out the inventory and monitoring effort, likely in coordination with BLM field staff and site managers.

Funding details show an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, with an award ceiling listed at $5,000 and an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally lowers the barrier to applying for eligible entities. Eligibility was limited to state governments, so the intended applicants were state-level agencies or departments capable of implementing wildlife monitoring and habitat management actions in partnership with BLM.

Key dates for the opportunity reflect that it was a time-limited, archived announcement. The posting and creation date were August 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on November 1, 2012. Applicants at the time were directed to obtain the complete announcement and application package through the "full announcement" materials referenced in the listing, which would typically include specific scope, deliverables, reporting expectations, and any required forms.

For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed was Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 208-373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
