Opportunity Summary:
The Gunnison Sage Grouse Conservation Project in Colorado (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00049) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity falls under the Environment and Natural Resources category and is tied to CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management.
The main purpose of the award was to support Gunnison sage-grouse conservation efforts in Colorado through a combination of public outreach, educational programming, and on-the-ground habitat improvement projects. In practical terms, that could include activities like community engagement and information campaigns to increase awareness of the species and its habitat needs, development and delivery of educational materials or events for local stakeholders, and habitat-focused work intended to improve conditions for the grouse (for example, restoration or enhancement actions that benefit sagebrush ecosystems). The announcement language is broad, but it clearly centers on both people-focused conservation (outreach and education) and tangible habitat outcomes.
Funding was relatively small and targeted: the estimated total funding available was $30,000, with an award ceiling of $30,000. The award floor was listed as $2,500, indicating that smaller proposals could be considered, although only one award was expected. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal match funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement package. The opportunity was posted and created on March 14, 2012, and the application deadline was March 23, 2012. It was later archived on April 6, 2012, so it is no longer an active competition.
For applicants at the time, the full instructions and application package were available via the announcement’s application materials (referenced as an “Application Tab”). The listed point of contact for access issues or administrative questions was Ruth A. Raisanen, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 303-239-3605 or rraisane@blm.gov.
