Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a small, targeted cooperative agreement to support native plant research and monitoring in Southwest Oregon. The main goal of the opportunity is to improve understanding of the biology, status, and long-term viability of native plant populations across the region, with particular attention to plants that are rare, federally listed, or listed by the state. In practical terms, the work supported under this award is meant to strengthen on-the-ground conservation knowledge and management by producing data and insights that can guide decisions over time.
Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to focus on several related activities. These include planning and carrying out native plant research, conducting field monitoring of plant populations, and implementing habitat restoration work where appropriate. The announcement also emphasizes continuity: applicants can propose to continue existing long-term native plant studies that are already underway, rather than starting entirely new efforts. A notable priority area mentioned in the notice is plant communities located within Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), which are BLM-designated areas managed to protect important natural, cultural, or scenic values. In other words, proposals that help track plant community health, population trends, and habitat conditions in ACECs are explicitly within the scope of what BLM is looking to fund.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordinating study design, setting monitoring priorities, or collaborating on implementation and reporting). The funding activity category is Natural Resources. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $12,000. The stated award ceiling is $12,000 and the award floor is $1, meaning proposals can range from very small projects up to the full amount available, but the overall pot for this specific announcement is limited.
The opportunity includes a cost share requirement (listed as “Challenge Cost Shareâ€), so applicants should plan to contribute matching resources as part of their proposal. Those matching contributions can often include cash and eligible in-kind support (such as staff time, volunteer labor, or donated services), but the exact allowable forms and documentation expectations would be spelled out in the full application instructions referenced in the announcement.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding opportunity number is L15AS00010, and it is associated with CFDA 15.238. The notice was posted on January 9, 2015, with an application closing date of February 9, 2015 (and an archive date of January 9, 2016). For applicants who cannot access the full announcement or need assistance with the application materials, the listed grants management contact is Sheri Dowley at BLM (503-808-6243, sdowley@blm.gov).
