Opportunity Summary:
The Northern Montana Wetland and Riparian Mapping opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00026) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The core purpose of the project is to support the mapping of wetlands and riparian areas in northern Montana in locations that include BLM-managed lands. In practical terms, the work is focused on producing or improving spatial information and map products that identify and delineate wetland and riparian features, which are key resources for habitat, water quality, and land management planning. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect a more collaborative federal role than a standard grant, typically involving coordination with BLM during project design, data standards, deliverables, and implementation.
The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. The published award amount is tightly defined, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed at $165,000, indicating the agency expected to fund one project at that specific level rather than a range of award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program is associated with CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management), aligning the project with broader environmental stewardship and resource management objectives.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. This generally implies that universities, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, tribes, and potentially private entities could apply, assuming they met standard federal grant requirements and any specific conditions spelled out in the full opportunity text.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on May 13, 2010, with an application deadline (Original and Current Closing Date) of June 10, 2010. Proposals were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on the closing date, and applicants were explicitly responsible for ensuring timely electronic submission. The opportunity was scheduled to be archived on September 10, 2010, which typically indicates the date after which the listing would no longer be active for new submissions.
