Opportunity Summary:
The CFO Listed Plant Species Program (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00069) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). It is designed to support the CFO Special Status/Rare Plant Conservation and Restoration Program across the CFO management area, with the central goal of improving the conservation status of rare and specially designated plant species through on-the-ground work and applied science.
At its core, the opportunity funds practical projects that help BLM and partners better understand where special status plant species occur, how their populations are changing over time, and what threats or habitat conditions are driving those trends. The program emphasizes resource inventory and monitoring, meaning efforts to locate populations, map occurrences, establish baseline data, and repeatedly check sites to track population health and habitat condition. It also supports research and information-gathering aimed at filling key knowledge gaps needed to guide management decisions, such as identifying limiting factors, understanding species-habitat relationships, or determining what conservation actions are most likely to work.
The scope is broad but focused on outcomes that directly inform or advance conservation and restoration. Projects may include conservation or restoration actions for species or habitats, including planning, implementation, and follow-up maintenance of habitat projects. It also highlights habitat and plant community restoration, which can involve restoring native plant communities, improving ecological function, reducing impacts from disturbance, or addressing factors that degrade rare plant habitat. Another component is environmental education, reflecting an interest in outreach or interpretive efforts that build awareness and support for rare plant conservation, especially where public understanding can reduce impacts or improve stewardship.
A notable administrative priority in the description is the management of special status species information, including database administration and management. In practice, this can mean organizing occurrence data, maintaining or improving datasets, ensuring data quality, and making information accessible for developing activity plans and guiding field actions. Overall, the opportunity is structured around building the information foundation for management (inventory, monitoring, research, and data management) while also supporting direct conservation and restoration work (planning, implementation, and maintenance), with education included as a supporting tool.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $100,000 total, with an award ceiling of $16,900 and an award floor of $1,000, and BLM expected to make one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was limited to state governments. The announcement was posted on May 4, 2010, with a closing date of May 16, 2010, and it was archived on May 4, 2011. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed grants management contact was Melinda D. Ritacco (208-373-4018, melindaritacco@blm.gov).
