Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Last Canyon Cave Research in Montana" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00112) to support ongoing scientific research focused on Last Canyon Cave in the Pryor Mountain area and related work in the broader Bighorn Basin region. The program sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM would typically expect to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordination on research activities, data needs, field logistics, reporting, and alignment with BLM land-management priorities), rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $145,000. Individual project budgets were expected to fall within an award range that set a floor of $2,500 and a ceiling of $25,000, suggesting the BLM may have planned either phased work, multiple project components, or incremental funding tied to specific tasks under the cooperative agreement framework. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the BLM was seeking a university-based or similarly situated public academic partner capable of conducting cave and regional basin research. The announcement was posted on June 1, 2012, with an application deadline of July 1, 2012, and the opportunity was later archived on July 15, 2012. The listing referenced CFDA number 15.238 and provided instructions to obtain the full announcement and application package via the application materials linked in the original posting.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the materials electronically, the point of contact listed was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, Bureau of Land Management, reachable at 406-896-5196 or via email at landerso@blm.gov.
