Opportunity Summary:
The Endangered Species Recovery Fund (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00197) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource conservation. The purpose of this funding is to support projects that carry out on-the-ground recovery actions for threatened and endangered species located on public land. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at efforts that directly contribute to species recovery under the broader goals of fish, wildlife, and plant conservation and resource management, aligning with the CFDA program number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management).
This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared with a standard grant. While the specific scope of work for any award would be defined by the full announcement and project proposal, the core emphasis is clear: implementing recovery actions. That generally points toward activities like habitat restoration, species monitoring tied to recovery objectives, threat reduction (for example, addressing invasive species, habitat fragmentation, or other stressors), and other management actions that measurably advance recovery outcomes for listed species on BLM-managed or other qualifying public lands.
Funding for the announcement was estimated at $784,000 in total, with an award ceiling of $784,000, and BLM anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility (though voluntary leverage and partner support may still strengthen a proposal depending on the criteria in the full notice). The opportunity was open to unrestricted applicants, meaning it was broadly available to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text.
Key dates for this opportunity were: posted and created on July 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2010. The listing was archived on September 30, 2010. The official listing and related materials were available through Grants.gov, and the additional information link in the notice pointed applicants to http://www.grants.gov for the complete announcement and application instructions.
For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provided a point of contact at BLM: Christine K. Shaver, Lead Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at (208) 373-3817 or by email at christineshaver@blm.gov.
