Opportunity Summary:

The "Non Challenge Cost Share California Condor Reintroduction Lead Reduction" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00207) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on California condor recovery. The core purpose is twofold: support efforts that move the California condor toward removal from the Endangered Species List, and help establish a self-sustaining condor population in its historical range in northern Arizona. The title highlights "lead reduction," which points to a key threat to condors: lead exposure, most commonly associated with scavenging on carcasses or gut piles containing lead fragments. In practice, projects funded under this kind of opportunity typically support on-the-ground actions and coordinated conservation work that reduce lead-related mortality and improve survival and reproduction, which are essential milestones for long-term population stability.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM would likely expect substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordinating activities, participating in planning, or sharing oversight responsibilities. It falls under the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was listed as $1, indicating the funding could range up to the full amount depending on the proposal and final negotiated scope. Notably, it was labeled "Non Challenge Cost Share," and the listing explicitly states there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility was limited to state governments, so only state-level entities could apply directly. The posting date and creation date were both July 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on August 20, 2010. Applicants looking for the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or administrative questions was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 602-417-9268 or paulstout@blm.gov.

Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted support for condor recovery actions in northern Arizona, with a clear emphasis on reducing lead risks and advancing population viability. By improving survival rates and reducing preventable deaths, especially from lead toxicosis, the work supported by this funding is intended to contribute directly to the larger conservation benchmarks needed for eventual delisting and the establishment of a stable, self-sustaining wild population in the region.
