Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Noxious Weed Control Areas Within the Paradise Valley Weed Control District" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00240) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), specifically within the BLM Winnemucca District area in and around Paradise Valley, Nevada. The purpose of the opportunity was to establish a partnership through a cooperative agreement with an outside recipient to carry out on-the-ground work focused on controlling noxious and invasive weed species within the Paradise Valley Weed Control District. The project sits within the broader natural resources management mission of the BLM, with an emphasis on invasive and noxious plant management.
This opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and used a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating that BLM anticipated substantial involvement or coordination during project planning and implementation rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The activity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, and it aligns with CFDA number 15.230, "Invasive and Noxious Plant Management." The overall intent was to reduce the spread and impacts of invasive plants that threaten rangeland health, wildlife habitat, watershed function, and land usability across the Paradise Valley Weed Control District within the Winnemucca District.
The announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $20,000 up to a ceiling of $100,000, meaning one large award could potentially have been made, or multiple smaller awards could have been considered depending on the project approach and available funds. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier to entry for applicants that might not have had non-federal funds available to contribute.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity, with the caveat that applicants should review any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. In practice, opportunities like this are often suitable for a wide range of partners, including local governments, weed control districts, conservation districts, nonprofits, tribes, universities, and other qualified organizations capable of planning and implementing invasive plant control work in coordination with BLM.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on July 22, 2014, created in the system on July 23, 2014, and closed on August 5, 2014 (original and current closing dates were the same). The archive date was September 5, 2014, indicating that the opportunity is no longer active and was retained for recordkeeping purposes after that time. Applicants were directed to use the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting to access the full instructions and the application package, suggesting that detailed scope, deliverables, reporting expectations, and evaluation criteria were contained in the full announcement rather than in the short synopsis.
For technical issues accessing the announcement materials, the listed point of contact was Gretchen Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 775-861-6740 and by email at geykelbosh@blm.gov.
