Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Native Plant Propagation of Snake River Plain Forb Species" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00087) focused on natural resources and restoration work. The core aim of the project is to build practical, on-the-ground knowledge about which native forb species from the Snake River Plain can be successfully propagated and then used in restoration efforts, particularly in areas that are currently dominated by non-native seedings. In other words, the grant is meant to help determine which native flowering plants are most feasible to grow and scale up for re-establishing more natural plant communities where invasive or introduced vegetation has taken over.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM likely expected to have substantial involvement in the work as it progresses rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program is tied to CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which signals a conservation and land management focus consistent with habitat restoration, native plant materials development, and improving ecological resilience. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $115,000. Individual award amounts were listed with a ceiling of $23,000 and a floor of $1, suggesting either phased funding, multiple smaller components under the broader effort, or structured budget limits for a particular agreement even though only one award was expected.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant, assuming any additional eligibility conditions in the full announcement were met. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be competitive or compliant. The opportunity was posted on May 5, 2011, with the application deadline set for May 26, 2011, and it was later archived on May 5, 2012. Applicants were directed to use the "APPLICATIONS" tab in the full posting for the required forms and submission instructions. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 208-373-4018 or by email at melindaritacco@blm.gov.
Overall, the grant was designed to support applied research and propagation work that reduces uncertainty around which native Snake River Plain forb species can be reliably produced and deployed in restoration settings. The intended outcome is better-informed restoration practice in landscapes where non-native plantings have become dominant, helping land managers choose native forb species that are not only ecologically appropriate but also realistically available and scalable through propagation.
