Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "FA BLM AZ Native Plant Inventories, Science, and Materials" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00214) was a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding announcement offered through a cooperative agreement mechanism. It focused on environmental work under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and was intended to support one award with an estimated total funding amount of up to $100,000 (with an award ceiling of $100,000 and a nominal award floor of $1). The opportunity was posted and created on August 2, 2012, with an application deadline of August 18, 2012, and it was later archived on September 17, 2012.
The core purpose of the funding was to advance both basic and applied botanical work in Arizona, specifically within National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) units located in the BLM Gila District. The project scope emphasized native plant-focused inventories, monitoring, and scientific research that would directly contribute to protecting and restoring landscapes characteristic of deserts, semi-arid grasslands, and riparian (streamside) areas. In practical terms, this meant supporting field-based efforts to document plant species and communities, track conditions or changes over time, and generate information that can be used to guide land management decisions, restoration planning, and on-the-ground conservation actions in these ecologically sensitive settings.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. Cost sharing or matching funds were not required, although they were encouraged. If any cost share was proposed and came from a third party, applicants were expected to include documentation such as a letter confirming the commitment of funds or expressing formal interest in supporting the project.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 602-417-9268 or by email at pstout@blm.gov.
