Pinon Juniper Marketing and Utilization Project in Colorado | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Pinon Juniper Marketing and Utilization Project in Colorado is a Department of the Interior (Bureau of Land Management) discretionary funding opportunity focused on improving how pinon-juniper forests in Colorado are managed. The core purpose of the project is to develop practical guidance that is both economical and ecological, meaning it is meant to help land managers make decisions that protect or improve forest and woodland conditions while also paying close attention to costs, potential revenue, and real-world feasibility. The emphasis on "marketing and utilization" signals that the project is not only about ecological prescriptions (like thinning or fuels reduction), but also about identifying workable ways to use and potentially sell material generated from management activities, which can help offset treatment costs and reduce waste.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period. Rather than a hands-off grant, a cooperative agreement often involves coordination, shared planning, or ongoing technical participation by BLM staff or other federal partners. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing tied to it is 15.233 (Forests and Woodlands Resource Management), aligning it with projects that support stewardship, restoration, and sustainable use of forest and woodland resources.

The announcement anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was listed as $1,000, meaning proposals could theoretically request smaller amounts, but the intent and scale suggest the agency expected a proposal that could deliver substantial, usable outputs within the overall budget. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match to be considered.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, described as open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. In practice, that wording usually means a wide range of applicants could apply, such as universities, non-profits, tribes, state or local governments, and potentially private organizations, assuming they met any conditions stated in the complete notice. Applications were accepted through Grants.gov, which is the standard federal portal for electronic submission.

In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on September 5, 2009, with an original closing date of September 11, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of September 21, 2009. The record shows a creation date of September 18, 2009, and an archive date of October 1, 2009, indicating this was a short-window solicitation and is now closed and archived.

For applicants needing help obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Yvonne Pier at yvonnepier@blm.gov. This contact information was specifically provided for assistance with electronic access issues, which suggests the agency expected most applicants to rely on the online posting but offered a direct point of contact if technical or access barriers arose.

Overall, this grant opportunity was designed to produce actionable guidance for Colorado pinon-juniper management that balances ecological outcomes with economic realities, especially by considering how harvested or removed material might be utilized or marketed. The small number of expected awards and the cooperative agreement format point to a targeted project intended to generate clear deliverables that BLM and partners could use to guide on-the-ground management decisions in pinon-juniper woodlands.
