Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Noxious Weed Eradication in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota" (Funding Opportunity Number BLM MT RFA09 0843) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management. It is focused on natural resources work, specifically invasive and noxious plant management (CFDA 15.230). The overall purpose is to support on-the-ground efforts that prioritize and target undesirable plant species, or groups of species, so they can be located, controlled, contained, or eradicated within defined geographic areas across Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. In practical terms, the program is aimed at reducing the spread and impacts of harmful weeds by directing resources toward clearly identified problem species and priority infestations where control actions can make a measurable difference.
Funding under this announcement is provided through cooperative agreements, which typically means the awarding agency expects a higher level of involvement or coordination during the project compared to a standard grant. The estimated total funding available is $100,000, with individual awards ranging from a $1,000 minimum up to a $50,000 maximum. The announcement anticipates making approximately 15 awards, suggesting the agency intended to fund multiple smaller, targeted projects rather than just a few large efforts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited strictly to state governments. The announcement notes that it is only available to state agencies as provided under the Federal Noxious Weed Act, meaning local governments, tribes, universities, nonprofits, private landowners, and other non-state entities would not be eligible to apply directly under this specific solicitation. However, state agencies could potentially partner with other organizations operationally if permitted by the cooperative agreement terms, even though the state agency would remain the official applicant and award recipient.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on February 20, 2009, with an original closing date of May 31, 2009. Because the system was down on May 31, the deadline was extended by one day to June 1, 2009. The opportunity was archived on July 1, 2009, indicating it is a past, closed solicitation rather than an active one. Applicants seeking full technical requirements, application instructions, evaluation criteria, and any required forms were directed to review the full announcement on Grants.gov.
For assistance, the point of contact listed is Lori J. Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable by email at landerso@blm.gov, particularly for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
