BLM WY 2009 CFO Laramie Columbine Surveys (CESU) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The BLM WY 2009 CFO Laramie Columbine Surveys (CESU) opportunity is a small, one-year cooperative agreement issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Office, under the Department of the Interior. Its purpose is to support field surveys for Laramie columbine, a plant designated by BLM as a sensitive species, on BLM-administered public lands within the Casper Field Office area. The work is targeted specifically at locations that had already been identified as having potential habitat, meaning the project is meant to confirm presence, improve understanding of distribution, and strengthen the information base used for conservation and land management decisions.

The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals substantial involvement by the BLM in coordination, oversight, or technical collaboration during the project. The announcement indicates BLM’s intent to make the agreement with the University of Wyoming, working through the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD), reflecting a focus on using specialized botanical and biodiversity expertise and consistent data standards for sensitive species documentation. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it aligns with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), reinforcing that the primary outcome is improved conservation-relevant information rather than infrastructure or education programming.

Financially, the opportunity is modest, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,000 and an expectation of a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing administrative burden for the recipient and allowing the project to be carried out based on the federal funding alone. Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the stated intent to partner with the University of Wyoming and its associated biodiversity database program.

The anticipated project period is capped at 12 months, and the notice is clear that the total project period for the award will not exceed one year. While the announcement mentions the possibility of continued funding, that continuation is conditional and not guaranteed. Specifically, any further support would depend on the recipient demonstrating progress that the BLM considers satisfactory toward the program’s goals, the BLM determining that continuation is in the government’s best interest, and the availability of funds. In practical terms, this frames the project as a time-limited survey effort with potential follow-on support only if performance and budget conditions align.
