Opportunity Summary:
The North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00039) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intended to support a cooperative effort that convenes wildlife and natural resource professionals from across North America. The central purpose is to bring together federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations, and conservation partners in a coordinated setting where they can share research findings, management approaches, and practical lessons learned related to wildlife, fish, habitat, and broader natural resource conservation. By strengthening this professional network and creating a structured forum for collaboration, the conference is positioned as a tool to advance wildlife management and conservation priorities at both national and state levels.
A key theme of the opportunity is improving communication and information exchange among the people and organizations responsible for managing publicly valued fish and wildlife resources. The conference setting is framed as a way to align partners around shared challenges and solutions, support state wildlife agency conservation missions, and address cross-jurisdictional issues that cannot be handled effectively in isolation. In practical terms, the funded work emphasizes knowledge transfer: presenting and discussing new research, showcasing management strategies that have worked in the field, and helping agencies and conservation organizations coordinate their efforts more effectively. The ultimate public-facing goal described in the announcement is that better-informed managers and partners will translate into improved stewardship of public lands, stronger conservation outcomes, and a better experience for members of the public who use and value those lands and wildlife resources.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the performance of the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The total estimated funding available is $90,000, with an award ceiling of $90,000 and an award floor of $20,000, and BLM anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the opportunity, which means applicants are not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the program is listed under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), signaling that the work is tied to conservation and resource management goals rather than, for example, infrastructure or purely academic research.
Eligibility is limited and specifically identifies the Wildlife Management Institute as the eligible applicant (noted under the eligibility information field), which suggests this was a targeted or partner-specific cooperative agreement supporting that organization in hosting or delivering the conference-related outcomes. The posting date and creation date were February 14, 2014, and the closing date was February 28, 2014, indicating a short application window typical of opportunities that are narrowly scoped or intended for a specific partner. For applicants or interested parties needing the full announcement, the listing directs users to Grants.gov, and it provides a BLM grants management point of contact: Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer, at 202-912-7098 or ltclayton@blm.gov, particularly for assistance accessing the complete announcement electronically.
