Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "CESU Identifying Mattonis Blue Butterfly Distribution in Elko County" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00131) to support field work focused on Mattoni's blue butterfly in Nevada. The core purpose of the project is to partner with an eligible academic institution to conduct on-the-ground surveys in the BLM Elko District to locate and document habitats where this butterfly occurs. In practical terms, the work centers on improving the BLM's understanding of the species' distribution and habitat locations within Elko County so that land and resource managers have better information for conservation and management decisions.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area, which generally means the BLM expects substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. Only one award was anticipated. The opportunity was listed under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, aligning it with conservation-oriented work related to wildlife and habitat.
Funding information in the notice indicates an estimated total federal funding amount of $15,000, with an award floor of $15,000 and an award ceiling of $90,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, reflecting the CESU-style emphasis on research and technical capacity typically found in universities and colleges.
Key dates included a posted and creation date of May 26, 2015, with an application closing date of July 26, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on August 26, 2015. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting to obtain detailed instructions and submission requirements.
For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Gretchen Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist at the BLM, reachable at 775-861-6740 or via email at geykelbosh@blm.gov.
