Opportunity Summary:
The FA BLM AZ Natural Resource Science Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00159) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was designed to support scientific research and related development work tied to natural resource management needs in Arizona, with funding structured as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally means BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on project direction, coordination, or oversight as the research is carried out.
This opportunity fell under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and was associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000. The award ceiling was listed as $300,000, while the award floor was $1, indicating the program could technically fund very small proposals but expected a single award up to the full amount available. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted in the general sense (open to any type of entity), but the announcement included an important clarification: BLM was specifically seeking Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) members. In practical terms, that typically narrows the eligible pool to institutions and organizations that are already part of the CESU network, which is a partnership framework used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities, nonprofits, and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education projects related to ecosystem management.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on July 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2011. The opportunity was archived on September 8, 2011, meaning it is no longer accepting applications and is retained primarily for records and reference. The official listing and related materials were made available through Grants.gov, with the announcement providing an additional information link directing applicants to http://www.grants.gov.
For applicant support and administrative questions, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 602-417-9268 or by email at paulstout@blm.gov. This contact was specifically provided to help applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, which suggests BLM expected interested parties to review detailed requirements, application instructions, and any project-specific scope language in the complete posting.
