Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM WY Genetic Diversity and Adaptation and Restoration Seeding" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00075) is a discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resource restoration in Wyoming, specifically looking at how seed source affects restoration outcomes. The central purpose is to compare restoration success when using "local" seed versus "generic" (non-local or broadly sourced) seed, and to evaluate these seed types when they come from single, individual sources as well as when they are combined into mixed-source seed lots. In practical terms, the project is meant to generate evidence about which seed sourcing strategies lead to better establishment and longer-term performance of restored vegetation, and how genetic diversity and local adaptation might influence success in real restoration settings.
The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates substantial involvement or collaboration with BLM during the work rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly reflects that exact award levels are defined by the final negotiated agreement or detailed within the full application package rather than being stated in the summary fields. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated for applicants.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted in general, but with a key limitation specified in the eligibility information: applications are limited to Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) of the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains. That means that while many entity types might otherwise be able to apply, the applicant must be part of, or apply through, the relevant CESU network associated with those regions. This restriction typically reflects BLM's intent to route certain research and technical assistance efforts through established CESU partnerships.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and clearly defined. It was posted and created on May 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 20, 2013, and an archive date of May 31, 2013. Anyone reviewing it now should treat it as a historical announcement, but the summary still provides a good snapshot of what BLM wanted to accomplish: a side-by-side evaluation of restoration seeding outcomes based on seed provenance (local versus generic) and seed lot composition (single-source versus mixed-source). This kind of comparison can help land managers make better decisions about whether emphasizing local adaptation, increasing genetic diversity through mixing, or using more broadly available generic sources leads to more reliable restoration performance under varying site conditions.
For applicants who needed the full instructions at the time, the announcement directed them to download the complete package through the "APPLICATION" tab associated with the posting. The listed point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at BLM, reachable at (307) 775-6313 and rtichac@blm.gov, for assistance accessing the announcement or addressing application-related questions.

What types of seed sources are being compared?
The project compares "local" seed (from local sources) against "generic" seed (non-local or more broadly sourced seed).
What does the opportunity mean by single-source versus mixed-source seed lots?
The project is designed to evaluate seed that comes from single, individual sources as well as seed combined into mixed-source lots, and then compare restoration outcomes across those approaches.
What kind of funding instrument is expected?
