Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM WY Landscape Restoration Via Reclamation and Education in Northeast WY" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00079) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) competitive funding announcement that supported a research and development effort focused on land reclamation and habitat restoration outcomes in northeast Wyoming. Issued under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, it sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM anticipated substantial involvement in the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back.
At its core, the project goal was practical and performance-driven: to study how well vegetation becomes established across a broad range of habitat types, and then use those findings to improve how reclamation and habitat restoration are planned and carried out. The announcement specifically highlights the Buffalo Field Office as the geographic focus, with particular attention to areas within the Powder River Basin designated as Sage Grouse Focal Areas. In other words, the work was meant to generate applied, on-the-ground knowledge that would help BLM and partners get better results when restoring disturbed lands and rebuilding functional habitat, especially in landscapes important to greater sage-grouse conservation.
The funding structure reflects a single, relatively sizable award rather than multiple small grants. The opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding level of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000 (with no specified minimum award amount). There was no cost share or matching requirement, reducing barriers for eligible applicants and signaling that the agency intended the federal funding to cover the core scope of work. Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating BLM was looking for a university-based partner capable of conducting rigorous field research, analysis, and possibly educational or outreach components consistent with the title's emphasis on reclamation and education.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 18, 2014, and closed on May 5, 2014, with the archive date listed as May 15, 2014. Applicants were directed to retrieve full proposal instructions and the application package through the announcement's application materials, and a point of contact was provided for access issues: Robert J. Tichac at the BLM (phone 307-775-6313, email rtichac@blm.gov). Overall, the announcement describes an applied research partnership designed to strengthen restoration success by learning what vegetation establishment approaches work best across varying site conditions in a high-priority conservation and reclamation landscape in northeast Wyoming.
