Opportunity Summary:

The BLM WY Data Entry, Stewardship, and Sharing Agreement (CESU) is a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity issued by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Office. The purpose of the project is to support statewide conservation information work in Wyoming by funding conservation data collection, ongoing stewardship of those data, and structured sharing of the information for resource management uses. The work is intended to be carried out through the University of Wyoming, specifically the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD), reflecting WYNDD's role as a key hub for biodiversity and conservation occurrence data in the state.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project. In practical terms, BLM would expect to collaborate with the recipient on priorities, deliverables, and the integration of resulting data into BLM decision-making and broader conservation planning. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA program listing is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.

The notice describes a three-year anticipated project length, with the important detail that continuation is not automatic. BLM indicates it will consider continued funding based on two main factors: whether the recipient is demonstrating satisfactory progress toward program goals and whether BLM determines that continuing the effort is in the best interest of the government, as well as the availability of funds. Even if continued funding is considered, the total project period is capped and cannot exceed 36 months.

From an administrative and competitive standpoint, the posting is a notice of intent to award rather than an open call for broad competition. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but the opportunity explicitly states that the intended recipient is the University of Wyoming WYNDD under the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. The listing anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000 for the opportunity as posted.

Key dates included in the announcement show it was posted and created on June 19, 2009, with a closing date of July 15, 2009, and an archive date of October 1, 2009. The funding opportunity number is BLM WY NOI09 9017. For access issues related to the full announcement text, the listed point of contact is Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, at ipowers@blm.gov.
