Opportunity Summary:
The Jefferson River Watershed Water Quality Data in Montana grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00041) was a discretionary funding program administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under a cooperative agreement. The central purpose was to build and strengthen partnerships focused on improving watershed function and overall water quality in the Jefferson River watershed area of Montana, with an emphasis on delivering benefits to the public. In practice, an opportunity framed this way generally supports collaborative efforts to gather, organize, and use water quality information that can guide on-the-ground watershed improvement work, management decisions, and public-resource stewardship.
This opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was linked to multiple CFDA program areas: 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), and 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). Those categories signal that the work was expected to connect water quality data and watershed function to broader public-land objectives such as habitat conservation, recreation management, and environmental protection. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, applicants could expect substantial involvement by the BLM during project implementation, meaning the agency likely anticipated active coordination on technical approach, deliverables, and how the collected or compiled data would be used to support watershed and water quality outcomes.
Funding for the program was modest and tightly defined. The estimated total funding available was $50,000, with one expected award. The award ceiling and award floor were both listed as $5,000, indicating that individual project funding was fixed at $5,000 for the award described in this listing, even though the broader total estimate suggests the agency may have had multiple related efforts or program funds in the same area. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for smaller organizations, local groups, or partners that may not have large non-federal budgets available.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The listing pointed applicants to the application materials and full instructions through an "application" tab in the original posting, implying that the detailed scope of work, evaluation criteria, required forms, reporting expectations, and any geographic or technical priorities would have been spelled out there.
The timeline shows this was a time-limited opportunity from 2013. It was posted and created on March 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 31, 2013. The opportunity was archived on May 1, 2013, meaning it is no longer open for applications. For historical reference, the grant was managed through BLM’s grants management contact: Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 406-896-5196 or landerso@blm.gov, with instructions to contact her if there were problems accessing the full announcement electronically.
