Opportunity Summary:
The Central Arizona Grasslands Conservation Strategy grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00114) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement released on June 25, 2013, aimed at supporting on-the-ground implementation of a regional grasslands conservation plan in central Arizona. The strategy itself was developed about five years prior by an interagency team that included the Arizona Game and Fish Department, the U.S. Forest Service, and the BLM. Their shared goal was to create a coordinated, cross-boundary approach to conserving and restoring grassland ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on improving conditions for pronghorn populations and the broader ecological community tied to these grasslands. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to move the strategy from planning into action by funding projects that span multiple jurisdictions and management responsibilities.
The main objective of the cooperative agreement was to establish a working partnership with a recipient to carry out activities that conserve, enhance, and restore central Arizona grasslands for public benefit. The announcement makes clear that proposed work could include a wide range of project types, such as habitat enhancement and habitat maintenance, field inventory and monitoring, biophysical studies, animal reintroductions and transplants, efforts to improve or manage public access, cooperative law enforcement initiatives, and public information and education. The emphasis on a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant) signals that BLM expected active involvement and coordination during project implementation, consistent with the interagency and cross-jurisdictional nature of the strategy.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity listed an estimated total of $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $5,000, and it anticipated making up to three awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category. Eligible applicants were limited to state governments and county governments, meaning local and state public entities were the intended partners for carrying out this work.
The notice also included an important federal funding caveat tied to FY 2013 appropriations under a continuing resolution. In plain language, it warned that funds were not guaranteed beyond the date of any continuing resolution, and that the government would not have legal liability for payments for work performed after that date unless and until appropriated funds became available and the Grants Management Officer provided written confirmation of fund availability. This is essentially a caution that even if an award were made, continued performance and payment could depend on Congress finalizing appropriations and the agency formally confirming that funding was in place.
Administratively, proposals had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by July 9, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, with the announcement stating that late submissions would not be considered. The opportunity was archived on July 12, 2013. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Eddie Bell, Grants Management Officer at BLM (602-417-9268, ebell@blm.gov), and the general information link pointed to Grants.gov.
