Opportunity Summary:
The Elko District, Nevada Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (ESR) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00064) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement designed to support on-the-ground recovery and risk-reduction work following wildland fires in the Great Basin and Mojave ecosystems. The central purpose is to plan, manage, implement, and monitor emergency stabilization and rehabilitation actions, along with related hazardous fuels treatments, in areas affected by wildfire. ESR work is typically initiated as a direct response to fire impacts and, as described in the announcement, is generally funded for a three-year period following the containment date of a wildland fire, reflecting the time window when erosion risks, invasive species pressure, and vegetation recovery needs are often most acute.
This opportunity continues an established ESR partnership between BLM and the Eastern Nevada Landscape Coalition (ENLC). Through this continuation, the partner organization is expected to provide practical program support across the full project lifecycle. That includes assisting with planning and prioritization of treatments, coordinating and managing implementation, and handling the administrative and technical workload of recording, documenting, and monitoring vegetation treatments tied to both hazardous fuels reduction and post-fire stabilization/rehabilitation. In other words, the agreement is not only about performing field treatments; it also emphasizes the systems and oversight needed to track what was done, where it was done, and whether it worked.
The award is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity within the Natural Resources activity area, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during execution (such as collaboration on technical decisions, priorities, and reporting). The notice anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding level of up to $5,000,000. The award ceiling is $5,000,000 and the award floor is $50,000, suggesting the agreement could potentially cover a range of project sizes, though the single expected award and the continuation language point to a large, programmatic effort rather than many small, separate projects.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications contained in the full announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.232 (Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program), aligning the effort with federal objectives tied to wildfire impacts, mitigation, and land recovery outcomes.
Key dates for the opportunity reflect a short application window: it was posted and created on April 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 16, 2013, and an archive date of May 16, 2013. Interested applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6559 or skaller@blm.gov.
