Opportunity Summary:
The Western Native Trout Habitat Population Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number WO NOI 08 8008) was a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on hands-on conservation work to conserve, protect, and restore coldwater aquatic resources on public lands. In practical terms, the program was aimed at improving habitat conditions and supporting the recovery of western native trout populations by addressing threats to coldwater streams and related aquatic ecosystems in areas managed by the BLM. This purpose aligns with core parts of the BLM mission related to responsible stewardship and resource management, particularly where stream health, riparian condition, and aquatic biodiversity are priorities.
This funding opportunity fell under the Environment funding activity category and was associated with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The announcement anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $290,000. The award structure was fixed at an award floor of $290,000 and an award ceiling of $290,000, indicating that the planned cooperative agreement amount was effectively set at $290,000 for the one expected recipient. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning an eligible applicant would not have been required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, the BLM would typically expect substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. In many federal contexts, that can mean closer coordination with agency staff on planning, implementation, reporting, and ensuring activities remain aligned with public land management objectives, though the exact roles would be specified in the full announcement and the final agreement.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on June 12, 2008, with the original and current closing date both set for July 11, 2008. The record indicates it was archived on August 10, 2008. For questions or difficulties accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Vieda Hubbard, Grants and Agreements Specialist at the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, reachable by phone at (202) 452-5034.
