Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Inventory of Cave Dwelling Animals in Wet Caves" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00210) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program focused on environmental resource management. The project goal is straightforward: conduct an inventory of animals that live in wet cave environments. These kinds of caves often support specialized, sensitive wildlife communities, so an organized inventory effort typically helps land managers understand what species are present, how they use the habitat, and what conservation or management steps might be needed to protect them.
This funding was offered as a cooperative agreement, which usually means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. In practice, that can include collaboration on study design, coordination on access to sites, data standards, reporting expectations, and ensuring the inventory supports BLM management needs. The funding activity category is listed as "Environment," and it is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.231, identified as "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management." That program area generally covers work that improves knowledge of biological resources and supports conservation planning on public lands.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling is also $100,000, indicating that the maximum award amount was the full estimated total. The award floor is listed as 1, which is effectively a technical minimum rather than a meaningful lower bound for budgeting. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. This points to universities and similar public academic institutions as the intended applicants, suggesting that the BLM was seeking scientific expertise, field biology capacity, and the ability to produce defensible, well-documented inventory results. Since the work involves cave environments and wet caves specifically, typical project elements might include field surveys, species identification (potentially including invertebrates, amphibians, bats, or other cave-associated fauna depending on the region), documentation of habitat conditions, and delivery of final datasets and reports usable for resource management.
Key dates show this was a time-limited opportunity in 2010. The posting date and creation date were both July 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2010. The archive date was August 21, 2010, meaning the solicitation was no longer active after that point. Applicants would have needed to respond within a relatively short application window of a little over two weeks.
For applicants who needed the official announcement or had trouble accessing it, the opportunity provided a grants.gov link for additional information and a direct agency contact. The grants management contact listed is Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 602-417-9268 and by email at paulstout@blm.gov.
