Opportunity Summary:
The Late Seral Woody Plants Study in Montana grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM MT RFA10 1816) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resources work along the Missouri River in Montana. The project goal was to evaluate how much potential Missouri River riparian sites have to support late seral woody riparian plant species, meaning the later-stage, longer-lived woody vegetation that typically characterizes more mature and stable riparian plant communities. In practical terms, the work was aimed at understanding the capability of riverbank and floodplain habitats to sustain these woody species, which can be important indicators of riparian health, long-term vegetation succession, and habitat quality for wildlife.
Funding was provided through a cooperative agreement, indicating that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) expected to remain substantially involved in the project rather than simply issuing a standalone grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $71,000 and an award range that started with a floor of $29,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation more feasible for academic institutions by reducing the need to secure outside matching funds.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the intended applicants were public universities and colleges with research capacity in fields such as riparian ecology, plant community dynamics, hydrology, fisheries and wildlife habitat, or resource management. The funding fell under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), aligning it with federal conservation and resource stewardship objectives.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on January 7, 2010, created in the system on February 2, 2010, and had an original closing date of February 8, 2010, later extended to February 10, 2010.
