Opportunity Summary:
The Nevada Challenge Cost Share Program FY2014 (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00114) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement, aimed at supporting partnership-based conservation and natural resource work in Nevada. The program sits under CFDA 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share) and reflects a long-running federal approach to getting on-the-ground conservation done by combining BLM resources with partner contributions. Originally launched in 1985 with appropriations tied to wildlife partnership projects, the Challenge Cost Share model has broadened over time to include multiple BLM resource areas where collaboration can expand capacity and improve outcomes.
This opportunity is designed to fund a wide range of project types that align with BLM land and resource priorities. Supported activities include research, monitoring, and inventory efforts that improve understanding of natural or cultural resources; implementation of habitat improvement projects that restore or enhance conditions for fish and wildlife; and work to protect, document, or interpret cultural resources. It also includes projects that improve or expand recreational experiences for the public, along with the development and implementation of species conservation and recovery plans. In addition, the program supports environmental education initiatives and conservation projects focused on native plant communities, including efforts to eradicate noxious weeds and other invasive plant threats that can degrade habitat and ecosystem health.
Funding is provided with a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) to help cover project costs and demonstrate partnership commitment. BLM anticipated making about nine awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $195,289. Individual awards were expected to range from a $10,000 minimum (award floor) to a $50,000 maximum (award ceiling), which suggests the program is intended for small to mid-sized, practical projects that can be implemented within a defined scope, often leveraging partner capacity.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, indicating the competition was broadly open to a wide variety of applicant types, subject to any clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement. The posting and creation date for the opportunity was May 14, 2014, with an application closing deadline of July 15, 2014. The opportunity archive date was August 15, 2014, reflecting that it is no longer an active solicitation.
For applicants or interested parties who needed assistance accessing the full announcement, BLM provided a point of contact: Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6559 or by email at skaller@blm.gov. The announcement also indicated that additional details were available through the full announcement link, which would typically include specific project priorities, evaluation criteria, required application components, and the rules governing allowable matching contributions and cooperative agreement responsibilities.
