Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY ACT - BLM OR/WA Eastern Oregon Noxious Weed Projects" is a Department of the Interior (Bureau of Land Management) funding effort aimed at protecting wild and scenic river corridors in Eastern Oregon from the growing threat of invasive exotic plants, commonly referred to as noxious weeds. These river corridors are heavily used for recreation and also serve as important habitat for a broad range of threatened, endangered, and sensitive plant, animal, and fish species. The core problem the opportunity targets is the accelerating spread of invasive weeds along rivers, their tributaries, and nearby federal as well as non-federal lands, which can degrade habitat quality, reduce biodiversity, and diminish the natural character and scenic value that make these areas significant.
The project emphasis is on practical, on-the-ground weed management that prevents new infestations, detects and tracks existing ones, and reduces the overall spread and ecological impact of noxious weeds. The announcement highlights coordinated detection and treatment projects, including activities such as biological control (using approved natural enemies to suppress invasive plants), surveying and inventorying (mapping and monitoring infestations to guide action), and prevention measures designed to limit further spread. The overall conservation goal is to protect native plant communities and the wildlife that depend on them by reducing competition from invasive species that can outcompete and displace desirable native and other beneficial plant species.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically expects substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, oversight, or technical collaboration). The opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number BLM OR RFA 10 1871 and is associated with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total program funding amount of $155,000. The funding range for a single award was listed with a floor of $1 and a ceiling of $92,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which can make it easier for applicants to propose robust fieldwork and monitoring without needing to secure additional non-federal dollars.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was generally open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement text on Grants.gov. The original posting date was March 1, 2010, with an original closing date of March 26, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of April 27, 2010. The opportunity was archived on April 30, 2010, indicating it is no longer accepting applications.
