Opportunity Summary:
The "Buffelgrass Eradication and Public Outreach" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00196) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a discretionary funding opportunity focused on invasive species management and environmental protection. The stated purpose was to support public awareness, improved identification, inventory efforts, and on-the-ground treatments intended to contain the spread of buffelgrass and work toward its eventual eradication. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at projects that combine outreach and education with coordinated detection and control work, so that the public and partner organizations can better recognize buffelgrass, report infestations, and participate in organized treatment strategies that reduce its expansion across affected landscapes.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM anticipated substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordination, shared planning, technical input, or oversight as the work was carried out. The announcement indicated an expectation of a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling was also $500,000 (with an award floor listed as $1), suggesting the agency was prepared to fund one major, comprehensive effort rather than multiple smaller projects. The program was listed under CFDA 15.230, "Invasive and Noxious Plant Management," placing it squarely within federal efforts to prevent, control, and reduce impacts from harmful invasive plant species.
Eligibility for the opportunity was broadly open ("unrestricted") to most entity types, while explicitly excluding individuals, for-profit organizations, and organizations not recognized by the federal government. This framing typically aligns with allowing applications from government entities (state, local, tribal), public institutions, and qualifying nonprofit organizations, among others, provided they meet federal recognition and any additional conditions described in the full announcement. The listing also noted there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible, which can lower barriers for organizations that have strong capacity to implement the work but limited ability to provide match funding.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 4, 2010, and it was archived on August 19, 2010. Because of that timeline, the opportunity was time-limited and is no longer open, but the details are still useful as a reference point for the types of activities BLM has funded related to invasive plant containment and public outreach. For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 602-417-9268 or paulstout@blm.gov. The announcement also pointed to Grants.gov for the full application package and additional instructions.
