Opportunity Summary:
The Shoshone Field Office Herpetological Surveys, Idaho grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00006) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work, specifically amphibian and reptile (herpetological) surveys within the Shoshone Field Office area in Idaho. The central purpose was to improve and maintain habitat conditions that support sustainable biological communities while also producing up-to-date wildlife inventory information for sensitive amphibian and reptile species. In practical terms, the project aimed to gather current, on-the-ground data that could inform land use decisions across a wide range of activities that might affect these species, helping managers evaluate potential impacts and plan conservation actions more effectively.
A key feature of the opportunity was the emphasis on developing usable inventory data that would not stay internal to one office. The announcement states that resulting data would be made available not only to BLM and other land-managing agencies, but also to the public for access. That public-facing component suggests an expectation for organized, shareable deliverables such as survey records, locations, and related documentation that could be incorporated into broader planning, environmental review, and species management efforts.
The funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency likely anticipated substantial involvement or collaboration during the project period rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity was listed under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The notice projected a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding amount associated with the opportunity was $100,000, while the stated award ceiling was $20,000 and the award floor was $1, indicating that individual award amounts were expected to fall within that range even though the overall program estimate was higher. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for applicants that might not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of eligible entity unless further limited by details in the full announcement (referenced through the application materials link). The opportunity was posted and created on December 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of January 14, 2011, and it was later archived on December 13, 2011. For application access issues or administrative questions, the listed grants management contact was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 208-373-4018 or melindaritacco@blm.gov.
