Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Cave Assistance Projects Statewide New Mexico" (Funding Opportunity Number: NM RFA08 0006) to support work focused on cave and karst resources across New Mexico. The main purpose of the cooperative agreement was to improve understanding of these sensitive natural systems and to generate scientific data that land managers can use to make sound decisions about how to manage, protect, and conserve caves and karst features on public lands. In practical terms, the funded effort was intended to strengthen the knowledge base needed for responsible recreation resource management and long-term stewardship of subterranean environments that can be easily damaged and are often poorly documented.
This opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was tied to CFDA number 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). BLM anticipated making a single award under a cooperative agreement instrument, indicating that the agency expected to remain substantially involved in the project as it was carried out (for example, through coordination, shared planning, or technical collaboration), rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The estimated total funding available was $800,000, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and an award floor of $65,000, reflecting that proposed projects could vary in scope and scale while still fitting within the broader statewide purpose.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity as long as it met any additional eligibility conditions that may have been included in the full announcement text. Importantly, there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds to be considered. The announcement was posted on June 4, 2008, and closed on June 30, 2008, with the opportunity archived on July 30, 2008. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Janet Huff, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-761-8941.
