Opportunity Summary:
The Mojave Mustard Field Guide grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00187) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement that supports the development and publication of a practical field guide focused on invasive mustard plant species in the Mojave Desert. The central purpose is to create an identification resource that helps both agency staff and members of the public reliably tell invasive mustards apart from native plants. By improving on-the-ground recognition and awareness, the project is intended to strengthen early detection, guide better management decisions, and ultimately reduce the spread of invasive species through more informed control and prevention efforts.
The work to be funded centers on producing an educational guide that can be used by field workers, land managers, and the general public. The guide is expected to be directly applicable in real field conditions, where quick and accurate identification matters. Its scope covers the broader Mojave Desert region, specifically including southern Nevada, southeastern California, southwestern Utah, and northeastern Arizona, so the finished product should reflect the plants and conditions relevant across that multi-state desert landscape.
BLM planned to make a single award under a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the agency anticipates substantial involvement or collaboration during the project rather than a hands-off relationship. The funding activity category is Education, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The estimated total funding was $15,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $15,000, meaning the grant amount was fixed rather than offered as a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, positioning universities and similar institutions as the intended applicants. Key dates show the opportunity was posted July 23, 2012, with an original closing date of August 17, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of September 17, 2012, and it was archived October 8, 2012.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the additional information source. The contact provided for access issues and grants administration questions was Andralee Holden Hughes, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 951-697-5254 and jholden@blm.gov.
