Opportunity Summary:
The Water Quality Monitoring in SW Montana opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00022) was a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Natural Resources funding activity category. It was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The core purpose of the award was to support ongoing water quality monitoring and to encourage additional monitoring in areas that could be affected by BLM land management decisions and activities in southwest Montana. In practical terms, this kind of project generally focuses on collecting and organizing water quality data that can inform land management, identify potential impacts, and improve understanding of watershed conditions over time.
The opportunity anticipated a single award. The estimated total funding available for the program was listed as $30,000, but the award size itself was fixed at $10,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $10,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as a condition of receiving the award, although applicants sometimes still choose to leverage other resources to expand monitoring coverage or field capacity.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement. That typically leaves the door open to organizations such as nonprofits, universities, local governments, tribal governments, watershed groups, and potentially other qualified entities, depending on the formal terms in the complete application package.
Key dates for the announcement were straightforward: it was posted on January 29, 2013, with an original and final application deadline of March 1, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on April 1, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the funding was 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, which is commonly used for federal financial assistance tied to environmental monitoring, protection, and resource management activities.
Applicants were directed to retrieve the full instructions and application package through the announcement link (noted as being available via an "Application" tab in the original posting).
