Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM Nevada Ely and Elko Districts Vegetation Management Habitat Improvement and Restoration Project" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00046) to support habitat improvement and restoration work focused on wildland vegetation in Eastern Nevada. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which signals an active partnership model where BLM and the recipient work closely together rather than a simple pass-through grant. The overall aim is to improve vegetation conditions in ways that directly benefit wildlife, with emphasis on planning, advising, monitoring, and on-the-ground implementation of projects within the Ely and Elko Districts.
Eligibility is limited to State governments, and BLM specifically indicates it is seeking a partnership with a State of Nevada department that has the interest and technical expertise to carry out this type of vegetation management and wildlife habitat work. The selected recipient would be expected to combine resources with BLM, including contributed funds and/or in-kind support, to help deliver projects that improve wildlife habitat in Nevada. Even though the program description mentions the use of contributed funds or in-kind contributions as part of the partnership approach, the announcement lists no formal cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning an applicant would not be required to meet a fixed match percentage to be eligible.
BLM anticipated making a single award under this notice (Expected Awards: 1). Funding parameters included an estimated total funding amount of $4,000,000 for the opportunity, with individual award sizes ranging from a floor of $100,000 to a ceiling of $500,000. The activity aligns with the Natural Resources funding category and is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. In practical terms, the award would support activities such as collaborative project design, field monitoring, and implementation actions aimed at restoring or improving vegetation conditions to support wildlife habitat outcomes across BLM-managed lands in Eastern Nevada.
Key dates for the opportunity were: posted March 13, 2015; created March 16, 2015; and closed May 13, 2015 (original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was later archived on June 13, 2015. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to use the "related documents" link in the posting, and those needing help accessing the announcement were provided a point of contact: Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6559 or skaller@blm.gov.
