Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Climate Change Adaptation Training for Great Basin Tribes" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00237) to support educational experiences centered on climate change and the practical development of climate change adaptation plans. The core goal of the opportunity was to fund a partner that could help Tribes in the Great Basin region strengthen their knowledge and planning capacity by delivering training, workshops, and related learning activities focused on climate impacts and adaptation planning approaches.

This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM anticipated having substantial involvement in the project alongside the selected recipient rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal agency participation. The program fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category, and it was associated with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. In practical terms, that CFDA alignment signals the project was expected to connect climate adaptation training to natural and cultural resource stewardship concerns, such as impacts to fish and wildlife, vegetation, water resources, and other land management values that are often central to Tribal priorities and BLM-managed landscapes.

BLM expected to make one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount available was $450,000, with an award ceiling of $450,000 and an award floor of $90,000. No cost sharing or matching was required, which reduces barriers for applicants by allowing projects to be proposed without committing non-federal match dollars. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would have been provided in the full announcement materials available through the application package.

Key dates for the opportunity were in mid-2014. The posting and creation date were July 22, 2014. The original closing date was August 5, 2014, and it was extended to a current closing date of August 8, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on September 8, 2014. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab referenced in the notice, which would typically include detailed program expectations, required narrative elements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions.

For questions or help accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed was Gretchen Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 775-861-6740 or by email at geykelbosh@blm.gov.
