Opportunity Summary:
The Invasive Species Control and Management grant (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00017) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity focused on controlling and managing noxious weeds on BLM-managed public lands in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The program sits within the Natural Resources funding category and is intended to support on-the-ground invasive and noxious plant management work that helps protect rangelands, wildlife habitat, watersheds, recreational areas, and other public-land values that can be degraded by invasive plant infestations. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as participating in planning, coordination, oversight, or technical input as the work is carried out.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant program and is associated with CFDA number 15.230 (Invasive and Noxious Plant Management). The posting date was December 12, 2013, with a creation date of March 13, 2014. The original application closing date was January 31, 2014, and it was later extended, setting the current closing date to April 1, 2014. The archive date was May 1, 2014, which typically indicates the opportunity is no longer open for applications after that point.
In terms of funding scale, the announcement indicated an expected total program funding amount of 5 (as listed in the source data), with individual awards set at a fixed level: an award ceiling of $125,000 and an award floor of $125,000. In other words, the projects funded under this announcement were expected to be funded at $125,000 per award rather than across a broad range of possible award sizes. The expected number of awards is listed as 500000 in the source data; however, because the award floor and ceiling are both $125,000, that figure does not align with typical grant listing conventions and may reflect a data entry issue rather than the true number of anticipated awards. Importantly for applicants, the opportunity stated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to governmental entities at the local, county, and state levels. Specifically, eligible applicants included city or township governments, county governments, and state governments. This focus suggests the BLM was looking to partner with public agencies that can coordinate weed management across jurisdictions, align treatments with local weed districts or state priorities, and carry out control activities effectively in cooperation with federal land managers.
Applicants were directed to obtain the full announcement and application package through the "Applications" tab associated with the listing, which would contain the detailed instructions, required forms, evaluation criteria, and any specific technical expectations for proposed weed control and management activities. For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, Bureau of Land Management, reachable at 406-896-5196 or by email at landerso@blm.gov.
