Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Nevada SNPLMA Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan Projects, Round 15 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00044) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It is designed to support natural resource work in Clark County, Nevada, specifically projects that fall under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) category for Round 15. In practical terms, the funding is meant to carry out already approved MSHCP-related projects that help conserve habitat and manage resources in a way that supports multiple species while aligning with Southern Nevada land management priorities.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance. That can include collaboration on planning, technical coordination, review of deliverables, or other forms of ongoing engagement as the work is implemented. The program sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.235.
Eligibility is limited to county governments, indicating the competition is targeted and primarily intended for local government entities capable of implementing projects at the county scale. The opportunity anticipated making two awards, with an award ceiling of $1,077,373, suggesting a modest number of relatively substantial project awards rather than many small subawards. The announcement was created and posted on April 4, 2016, and the application deadline was June 9, 2016.
The opportunity is tied directly to SNPLMA special account expenditures that were approved by the Secretary of the Interior on January 6, 2016. That detail matters because it signals the projects and spending estimates had already cleared a key federal approval step prior to the notice being posted, and the purpose of the funding is implementation of those approved Round 15 MSHCP projects in Clark County.
