Opportunity Summary:
The "Noxious Weed Eradication in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: RECOVERY ACT BLM MT RFA10 1785) was a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the Department of the Interior, focused specifically on invasive and noxious plant management. The core purpose was straightforward: support on-the-ground efforts to control existing noxious weed infestations, reduce their spread, and prevent new invasions from becoming established across Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. In practice, that mission typically covers activities like early detection and rapid response, coordinated eradication or containment projects, treatment of priority infestations, and prevention work designed to stop weeds from moving into uninfested areas.
Funding was offered through cooperative agreements, meaning award recipients would generally carry out the work in collaboration with the federal agency rather than operating entirely independently. The program anticipated making about 12 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $750,000. Individual awards could range from $5,000 (award floor) up to $200,000 (award ceiling), allowing both smaller, targeted projects and larger multi-site efforts to compete under the same announcement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier to participation for eligible applicants.
Eligibility was limited to state governments. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.230, titled "Invasive and Noxious Plant Management," which signals that the work aligns with federal priorities around invasive species control and landscape protection. The posting date on Grants.gov was November 10, 2009, with the application window closing January 3, 2010 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The announcement later moved to archive status on March 1, 2010, meaning it is no longer open but remains part of the public record.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Lori J. Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable at landerso@blm.gov. Additional official details were made available through Grants.gov, referenced in the announcement as the primary information source.
