Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Nevada 2017 Challenge Cost Share Program (all projects), Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00028, is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be actively involved in the project beyond simply issuing funds, often through coordination, technical input, or other substantial participation during implementation. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category under CFDA 15.238 and is aimed at on-the-ground and programmatic work that supports stewardship of public lands in Nevada.
The opportunity is broadly framed to support a wide range of Challenge Cost Share (CCS) projects where BLM partners with recipients to accomplish shared resource goals. The types of projects specifically highlighted include resource inventory and monitoring (for example, surveys, data collection, and tracking ecological or land-use conditions over time), environmental education efforts, habitat and plant community restoration activities, cultural site protection work, management actions for special status species, and recreation management. In practical terms, this means proposals could span from field-based restoration and conservation work to education and visitor-use initiatives, as long as they align with BLM land-management priorities and are designed as collaborative efforts.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of applicant entity, with the caveat that applicants must follow any clarifications that may appear in an additional eligibility text field in the full announcement. The funding details indicate an anticipated maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $50,000 per award, with an estimated 15 awards expected. The original and current closing date for applications is March 29, 2016, and the opportunity was both created and posted on January 29, 2016, reflecting the federal posting timeline for this solicitation.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a partnership-focused vehicle for relatively small, targeted natural resource and public-land management projects in Nevada, emphasizing practical outcomes in areas like monitoring, restoration, cultural resource protection, special status species support, and recreation planning or management, implemented jointly with BLM through a cooperative agreement structure.
