Opportunity Summary:

The Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00300) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The main purpose of the project was to build public education and awareness aimed at preventing, controlling, and containing noxious weeds in Idaho. A central feature of the effort was the use of integrated partnerships through the Integrated Weed Management (IWM) program, meaning the campaign was expected to coordinate across multiple stakeholders and emphasize practical, coordinated weed management approaches rather than isolated, one-off actions.

The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 associated with the program and an individual award ceiling of $250,000 (with an award floor of $1,000). The funding did not require cost sharing or matching, which generally lowers the barrier to participation for applicants that may not have separate funds available to contribute. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, recipients could expect substantial involvement from BLM compared with a standard grant, typically reflecting ongoing collaboration, coordination on deliverables, and alignment with federal program goals.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a broad range of applicant types, subject to any further eligibility notes that may have been included in the full announcement materials. The opportunity was connected to CFDA number 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management, aligning it with federal efforts to address invasive species impacts on public lands, ecosystems, and resource uses.

Key dates indicate the announcement was posted on August 24, 2010, with an application closing date of September 3, 2010, and it was later archived on August 23, 2011. Application forms and instructions were provided through the application materials referenced in the announcement. For administrative or access issues, the listed point of contact was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer at BLM (phone 208-373-4018; email melindaritacco@blm.gov).
