Invasive Species Outreach | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Invasive Species Outreach grant (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00102) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) aimed at protecting public lands in the western United States from invasive species. BLM describes invasive species as nonnative, harmful plants and animals and identifies them as one of the greatest threats to natural ecosystems. The core purpose of the project is outreach: encouraging sportsmen and recreational users to prevent the spread of invasive species through targeted education and communication efforts. In practical terms, the opportunity is focused on behavior change and prevention, especially among people who move between waterways, trails, hunting areas, and other outdoor recreation sites where invasive species can be unintentionally transported on boats, gear, vehicles, clothing, or animals.

Funding is offered through a Cooperative Agreement under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, with a single award expected. The estimated total available funding is $350,000. Individual awards are expected to range from a floor of $70,000 up to an award ceiling of $350,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. This points to BLM's intent to partner with mission-driven organizations that can run public-facing campaigns, coordinate with recreational communities, and deliver outreach at a scale that can measurably reduce the risk of invasive species spread. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, the agency typically expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as collaboration on outreach priorities, messaging, target audiences, or performance expectations.

Key dates for the announcement include a posted date of May 19, 2011, with the original closing date of June 19, 2011 and a current closing date of June 20, 2011. The announcement was archived on July 20, 2011. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice.
