Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Water Law Web Site grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OR NOI08 0710) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management focused on keeping the agency's Water Law Web Site current and useful for the Bureau's Water Law and Water Rights program across 17 BLM states. The work is described as a continuation project, meaning the website and its supporting materials already exist but require updates to stay accurate and relevant. Oregon BLM is identified as the coordinating office, and the planned approach is to work in coordination with the University of Oregon to develop updated content and materials for the existing site. The underlying purpose is practical: provide an up-to-date, accessible resource that supports BLM staff and partners dealing with water law and water rights responsibilities tied to managing public lands.
A key point in the notice is that the University of Oregon is considered uniquely suited to perform the work because its law program has previously used the Water Law Web Site and shown that it is valuable both as an instructional tool and as a reference outside the classroom. More specifically, the University of Oregon's Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program is positioned as the best-fit partner to complete the updates, likely because it combines subject-matter expertise in water and natural resources law with experience using and teaching from the resource being updated. The opportunity is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, which is designed for partnerships that deliver research, technical assistance, and education. The notice explains that the prospective recipient is a member of the Pacific Northwest CESU, which is the basis for the eligibility determination and the "uniquely qualified" language.
From a legal and programmatic standpoint, the project is framed as supporting BLM implementation of water rights programs under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA). In that context, the updated web site is not presented as a general public outreach product alone, but as an operational support tool tied to BLM's responsibilities for protecting and developing public lands. By improving and refreshing the content, the project is intended to help BLM staff and stakeholders navigate water law concepts, water rights administration, and related issues that affect land management decisions across a large multi-state footprint.
In terms of funding and award structure, the agency expects to make one award through a cooperative agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000 and an award ceiling of $40,000 (award floor is listed as $0). No cost sharing or matching is required. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which typically indicates the opportunity does not map neatly onto a single standard assistance listing. The opportunity was posted on August 23, 2008, with key dates including an original closing date of August 30, 2008, a revised/current closing date of September 12, 2008, and an archive date of September 29, 2008.
