Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "BLM NV N Nevada Abandoned Mine Bat Research and Inventory Project" (Funding Opportunity Number BLM NV NOI 09 1203) is a Bureau of Land Management notice stating the agency's intent to fund a specific set of activities through a cooperative agreement, rather than a competitive call for proposals. In other words, it is not an invitation for the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public posting that the BLM plans to move forward with a non-competitive award arrangement.

The project is structured as a joint effort between the Bureau of Land Management and Bat Conservation International, Inc. (BCI). The work focuses on conservation and management of bats that use abandoned mines located on public lands managed by the BLM in Nevada. The announcement highlights three main purposes: reducing the likelihood that bat populations will require future protection under the Endangered Species Act by proactively managing risks and habitat needs; improving safety for people who use public lands by addressing hazards associated with abandoned mine features; and expanding scientific understanding of bat habitat types and distribution, particularly as they relate to mine environments that can function as roost sites.

Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action under the Department of the Interior, with the activity category aligned to natural resources and the CFDA program number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project (for example, coordinating fieldwork priorities, sharing data standards, or collaborating on deliverables), rather than a hands-off grant relationship.

The posting indicates an expected single award, with estimated total funding of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000 (the award floor is listed as $1). No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. Although the eligibility field is shown as "unrestricted," the text makes clear that the BLM is announcing its intention to fund the work without full and open competition, which signals that the practical recipient is predetermined (here, BCI) and that the notice functions more as transparency documentation than an open funding opportunity.

Key dates included in the listing are a posted date of July 6, 2009, an original and current closing date of July 20, 2009, and an archive date of August 20, 2009. The grants.gov link is provided for additional details, and the listed contact for access issues is Susan Kaller, Grants Management Officer, at skaller@blm.gov.
