Opportunity Summary:

The Sustainable Water Resources Roundtable (SWRR) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00308) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on supporting a national forum where diverse stakeholders can share ideas, data, and practical lessons that lead to better decisions about long-term, sustainable water resource management in the United States. SWRR is described as a multi-stakeholder roundtable, created as the fourth in a series of resource roundtables, designed to convene participants from academia, state and federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, corporations, and regional partnerships. The central purpose is not simply research for its own sake, but the exchange of information and perspectives that can improve how water resources are managed across competing uses and interests.

The funding instrument for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, which generally implies an active partnership role for the federal agency during the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity fell under the Environment funding activity category and was associated with CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). BLM expected to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was $20,000, indicating that proposals could vary in size but were expected to remain within that range. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowers barriers for eligible organizations that might not have additional funding to contribute.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (and not institutions of higher education), meaning the opportunity targeted a narrower slice of the nonprofit sector than many federal programs. The posting timeline was brief: it was posted on August 24, 2010, created on September 3, 2010, and had an original closing date of September 5, 2010, later extended to September 7, 2010. The announcement was archived on October 5, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov (the listing included an additional information link to http://www.grants.gov).

For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Lisa Clay(t)on, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 202-912-7098 or by email at lisaclayton@blm.gov.
