Hydrology Implications for Storm water Management and Biodiversity | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Hydrology Implications for Storm water Management and Biodiversity funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00116) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement. Its core purpose is to identify and support a capable scientific community partner that can help MSRMA carry out practical, management-focused research on public lands, with an emphasis on how hydrology relates to storm water management and biodiversity outcomes. Rather than being purely academic or exploratory, the announcement frames the work as applied research intended to directly support on-the-ground decision-making and land management needs.

The project scope is centered on several related research themes. First is effectiveness research, meaning the partner is expected to help evaluate whether specific management actions, storm water approaches, or related interventions are actually achieving desired results on public lands. Second is standardized inventory work, which typically refers to building consistent, repeatable methods for documenting baseline conditions or resources so that data collected across different locations or time periods can be compared. Third is monitoring, which implies establishing or improving field and analytical efforts to track changes over time in hydrologic conditions, storm water behavior, and ecological or biodiversity indicators. Finally, the opportunity explicitly welcomes other management-driven research, signaling that BLM and MSRMA are looking for studies designed around practical operational questions, information gaps, and performance needs that land managers face.

In terms of funding and award structure, BLM anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total program funding level of $50,000. The award ceiling is $50,000 and the award floor is $25,000, indicating proposals could be considered within that range depending on the work plan and budget justification. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible organizations and means the proposed work can be fully supported by federal funds if appropriately scoped and justified. Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should generally expect substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as coordination on methods, deliverables, field priorities, access to sites, or alignment with BLM management objectives.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The program is listed under CFDA number 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, and the funding activity category is Education, which often reflects a blend of applied research, training, public benefit outcomes, and knowledge transfer to land managers rather than classroom-based education alone. The opportunity was posted on May 19, 2014, with an application deadline of June 16, 2014, and it was archived on July 16, 2014, meaning it is a historical listing rather than an open competition today.

For applicants or interested parties who need the official posting or attachments, the announcement directs users to Grants.gov (link provided in the notice). The listed point of contact for access issues is Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 202-912-7098 or by email at ltclayton@blm.gov.
