Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Nevada Greater Sage Grouse Habitat Restoration and Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00063) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management program focused on improving Greater Sage-Grouse habitat conditions on BLM-administered public lands in Nevada. The core purpose is to support practical, on-the-ground conservation work that benefits sage-grouse within its Nevada range by funding projects that enhance, rehabilitate, restore, and, where it makes sense, mitigate impacts to habitat. A key feature of the announcement is that the effort is intended to be carried out in partnership with the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), reflecting a coordinated approach between federal land managers and the state wildlife agency to plan, implement, and complete habitat actions and associated monitoring.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordinating implementation, providing technical direction, or collaborating on monitoring and reporting. The opportunity sits in the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which is commonly used for projects that maintain or improve ecological conditions for priority species and their habitats. The announcement anticipates a single award, suggesting the agency was looking for one primary partner or lead entity to manage an integrated set of restoration and monitoring activities rather than multiple smaller grants.
Financially, the program listed an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000, with an award ceiling of $2,500,000 and an award floor of $6,000. The notice states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not have been required to provide non-federal match to be eligible, though voluntary contributions can sometimes strengthen a project proposal depending on the evaluation criteria in the full announcement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as long as it met any specific conditions described in the full notice under the eligibility section.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 28, 2015, with an application closing date of May 29, 2015, and it was later archived on June 29, 2015. Applicants were directed to view the full announcement through the "Related Documents" section to access complete requirements, evaluation factors, and submission instructions. For access issues or questions about the announcement materials, the listed point of contact was Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable at 775-861-6559 or skaller@blm.gov.
