Opportunity Summary:

The Bullfrog Monitoring and Eradication in Montana opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00046) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The purpose of the project was to find out where American Bullfrogs are present within the Yellowstone River watershed in Montana and to use that information to pinpoint locations where control or eradication work would be most necessary and realistically doable. In practical terms, the focus was on mapping bullfrog distribution and then translating those findings into on-the-ground priorities for management, rather than funding broad, statewide work without a targeted strategy.

The funding level for the announcement was relatively small and designed for a single award, with an expected total of $25,000 and an award ceiling of $25,000. Only one award was anticipated, suggesting BLM intended to support one coordinated effort rather than multiple smaller projects. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, which generally means any type of entity could apply (for example, universities, nonprofits, tribes, state or local governments, or other organizations), with the caveat that applicants still needed to review any additional eligibility notes contained in the full announcement on Grants.gov. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, the selected recipient would typically work in closer coordination with the federal agency than under a standard grant, often involving substantial involvement by BLM in planning, oversight, technical coordination, or implementation details.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted on April 26, 2010, created the same day, and had an original and final closing date of May 27, 2010. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the complete announcement and application package. For help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, at 406-896-5196 or landerso@blm.gov.
