Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA Implementation of the Alien Invasion Plants on the Move Curriculum" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00202) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement. It focuses on natural resources education, specifically invasive and noxious plant management (CFDA 15.230). The project is designed to help teachers and other educators learn to use the "Alien Invasion Plants on the Move" K-12 curriculum so they can build stronger, more practical understanding of how weeds and invasive plants affect natural resources. A major theme is turning that understanding into real-world knowledge and skills that educators can take back to their classrooms and communities.
At the core of the opportunity is educator engagement and workforce-style learning. The program aims to connect Oregon K-12 teachers with local resource managers and local natural resource issues, so that instruction about invasive species is grounded in what is happening in their own regions. In addition to improving classroom teaching, the grant emphasizes identifying community-based projects that can serve as service-learning opportunities. In practice, that means encouraging educators to help students participate in meaningful projects tied to invasive plant prevention, detection, or management, while learning the science and stewardship principles behind that work.
The planned delivery approach is clearly laid out: the work would be accomplished through two weeklong Summer Institutes for Oregon K-12 educators, along with five additional one-day sponsored workshops. All of these trainings use the "Alien Invasion Plants on the Move" curriculum as the foundation, meaning the curriculum is not just a reference but the main tool around which instruction, activities, and implementation planning are structured. The institutes and workshops are intended to give educators time to explore the curriculum in depth, learn how to apply it effectively, and develop connections that support ongoing collaboration with land and resource professionals.
This grant also directly supports BLM's broader invasive species strategy, specifically the Partners Against Weeds Strategy and Action Plan. The stated alignment is with Goal 1, Prevention and Detection, and Goal 2, Education and Awareness. That framing signals that the project is expected to contribute both to early action against invasive plants (through better-informed communities and educators who can recognize and respond to weed threats) and to public understanding (through education that spreads beyond the institutes into classrooms, schools, and local community efforts).
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $17,692, which also served as the award ceiling. The award floor was listed as $1. Cost sharing or matching was not required, which lowers barriers for applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any eligibility details that might have been provided in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted July 19, 2010, with an application closing date of August 19, 2010, and it was later archived July 19, 2011.
