Opportunity Summary:
The Management of Wildlife and Fishery Resources in New Mexico grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00242) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource management. Its core purpose was to formalize and strengthen a working partnership between the BLM and the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish so the two agencies could jointly conserve, enhance, and manage fish and wildlife populations, along with the habitats those species depend on, across BLM-managed public lands throughout New Mexico. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at supporting coordinated, on-the-ground habitat and species management efforts where state wildlife expertise and BLM land management responsibilities overlap, ensuring that conservation work on federal lands aligns with broader statewide wildlife and fisheries objectives.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, reflecting the targeted nature of the partnership and the fact that eligibility was limited to state governments, with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish being the intended partner. The announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, while the award amount was set at $297,500 (both the ceiling and the floor were $297,500), indicating a fixed award size for the selected recipient rather than a competitive range of potential funding levels. The grant fell under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.238 and included a Challenge Cost Share component, meaning cost sharing or matching was required. That requirement typically signals that the recipient is expected to contribute resources such as funds, staff time, equipment use, or other allowable in-kind support so both parties have a tangible investment in the outcome.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on August 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 14, 2010, and it was archived on September 29, 2010. The funding instrument was explicitly a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during project implementation compared to a standard grant. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 505-761-8941 or by email at jhuff@blm.gov. Additional details were referenced through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov).
