Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM WY Special Status Plant Species and Plant Ecological Assessments in Wyoming" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00303) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support plant conservation work on federal lands in Wyoming. Its central purpose is to continue an established cooperative relationship between the BLM and the Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD) at the University of Wyoming. Through this partnership, the project focuses on ecological research, field inventory, and ongoing monitoring efforts for federally listed plant species as well as BLM-designated sensitive plant species found on BLM-managed and other federal lands across the state.
The work supported by this funding is aimed at improving the quality and availability of scientific information needed for land management and conservation decision-making. In practical terms, this typically includes activities such as locating and mapping plant populations, documenting habitat conditions, assessing population status and trends, and collecting ecological data that can inform protective measures, project planning, and compliance responsibilities tied to conservation laws and agency policies. Because the opportunity emphasizes "plant ecological assessments," it also signals an interest in understanding broader ecological context such as site characteristics, threats, and factors affecting persistence, not just presence or absence of a species.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expects to be actively involved in the project in collaboration with the recipient, rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal participation. The announcement anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which reduces financial barriers for eligible institutions and indicates that the federal funding is intended to cover the proposed scope of work without an institutional match.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the stated intent to partner with the University of Wyoming and its biodiversity data program. The funding falls under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) within the Natural Resources activity category. The opportunity was posted on August 5, 2014, with an application closing date of August 25, 2014, and it was later archived on September 15, 2014. Applicants were directed to the full application instructions via the announcement's application materials, and the listed contact for access issues or questions was Robert J. Tichac at the BLM Wyoming office (307-775-6313, rtichac@blm.gov).
