Opportunity Summary:
The Middle Colorado River Watershed Assessment and Plan in Colorado (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00210) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support a large-scale watershed planning effort focused on environmental resource management. The core purpose of the project was to bring partners together to assess current conditions and guide future management actions related to water quality, soils, and riparian vegetation across a broad landscape within the Middle Colorado River watershed area. The work was framed around meeting BLM Land Health Standards, with an emphasis on identifying gaps, prioritizing needs, and making measurable progress toward achieving or maintaining those standards.
The opportunity was categorized under Environment and tied to CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $210,000. The award ceiling was $210,000, and the award floor was listed as $1,500, indicating the agency set a wide minimum-to-maximum range but expected to fund a single primary project at a scale consistent with the total available funding. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal match resources.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. Because it was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should have expected substantial involvement by BLM during the project, such as collaboration on planning direction, coordination with stakeholders, and alignment with agency standards and management objectives.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on July 15, 2014, with an original closing date of August 1, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of August 18, 2014. The opportunity was archived on September 15, 2014. Applicants were directed to use the application tab in the announcement system to access full instructions and the application package. For help accessing the materials, the listed point of contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at BLM (303-239-3605, rraisane@blm.gov).
