Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Noxious Weed Control on Colorado Bureau of Land Management Lands under Kremmling Field Office Jursidiction" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program focused on invasive and noxious plant management in Colorado. Its core purpose is to support economical and efficient treatment of noxious weeds and invasive species across a "commingled" landscape where BLM-managed federal lands are interspersed with public lands managed by other entities. The intent is to improve coordination and effectiveness of weed control efforts in areas where ownership boundaries make isolated treatment less efficient and less successful, helping reduce spread and reinfestation by treating problem areas in a more integrated way.
This opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project during implementation rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The funding falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.230, "Invasive and Noxious Plant Management." The program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was $50,000 and the award floor was $1,500, indicating proposals could range from small targeted treatments to a larger, more comprehensive effort up to the full amount available.
Eligibility was limited to county governments, which reflects the practical role counties often play in weed management through county weed programs, local coordination, and on-the-ground treatment capacity. The announcement specified that there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, though applicants could still choose to leverage other resources if it strengthened the overall project approach.
The timeline for the solicitation was straightforward: it was posted and created on January 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of March 27, 2015. The opportunity was archived on April 13, 2015, meaning it was no longer accepting applications after that point. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement through the application tab in the posting, which would typically include more detailed scope, application requirements, reporting expectations, and evaluation criteria.
For support or issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 or by email at rraisane@blm.gov.

What is the main purpose of the grant?
