Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary grant opportunity called "Cave and Mine Bat Monitoring in the State of Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00140) to support a coordinated surveillance effort focused on White Nose Syndrome (WNS). The core purpose is to improve the ability to monitor, detect, and respond to WNS in bat populations that use caves and abandoned mines on lands under BLM jurisdiction across Colorado. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen on-the-ground monitoring so agencies and partners can spot signs of the disease early, track where it may be spreading, and support management actions that help limit impacts to bats and the habitats they depend on.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a check and stepping back. The program area is natural resources, tied to CFDA numbers 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). The announcement indicates the BLM anticipated making one award under this solicitation, suggesting a single lead recipient would likely coordinate or deliver the bulk of the monitoring effort, potentially working with other partners as part of the project.
Funding for the award was estimated at a total of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and a minimum award amount listed as $2,500. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered eligible, which can make participation easier for smaller organizations or research groups. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant (such as universities, nonprofits, tribes, state or local governments, or private entities), subject to any limitations that might have been described in the full announcement materials.
The timeline for the posting shows it was initially posted on July 1, 2011, with records indicating a creation date of July 18, 2011. The original closing date was July 22, 2011, later extended to a current closing date of August 5, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on August 19, 2011. Anyone looking for the full official announcement and requirements was directed to the Grants.gov listing (the announcement includes an Additional Information link to http://www.grants.gov), where details such as application package elements, evaluation criteria, allowable activities, reporting expectations, and any special conditions would typically be provided.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, with phone number 303-239-3605 and email rraisane@blm.gov.
