Opportunity Summary:
The Recreation Resource Management grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM WO NOI 09 1349) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior and involves the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was posted on July 28, 2009 and framed as a Notice of Intent to make a single cooperative agreement award, rather than an open competitive solicitation. In practical terms, that means the agency signaled its intent to fund a specific organization for a specific purpose, with an expectation of close collaboration between the recipient and the federal program staff during the work.
The stated purpose of the award is to support the development of biologically meaningful performance measures for fish, wildlife, and plant resources. These measures are intended to be applicable across broad landscapes and usable at the state level to help determine the status and trends of these resources over time. The emphasis is on creating metrics that are scientifically credible and consistent enough to be applied across different areas, allowing managers to track whether conservation actions and protections are actually maintaining or improving conditions. The larger management goal is to ensure that fish, wildlife, and plant resources receive adequate protection and that BLM meets its mission of sustaining these resources for the use and enjoyment of both present and future generations.
The opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement in the project, such as joint planning, technical input, review of deliverables, or coordinated implementation. The estimated total funding for the opportunity is $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $150,000. The announcement specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants would not be required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Although the eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice explicitly identifies the intended recipient as the H.J. Heinz III Center for Science, Economics and the Environment. This reinforces that the announcement is not primarily aimed at soliciting multiple competing applications, but rather at documenting the agency's intent to proceed with an award to that organization for the described work. The opportunity anticipated one award total.
Key dates included a posting and creation date of July 28, 2009, an original and current closing date of August 10, 2009, and an archive date of August 17, 2009. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Lisa Ensley at LisaEnsley@blm.gov. The additional information link section also reiterates that the posting is a Notice of Intent.
