Opportunity Summary:
The White Nose Syndrome Assistance for Colorado Abandoned Mines grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00328) was offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. Its central purpose was to protect and preserve bat habitat found in abandoned mine sites in Colorado by supporting work that would help prevent the introduction of White Nose Syndrome (WNS) into these sites or contain its spread if already present. In practical terms, the program focus is on safeguarding sensitive roosting and hibernation areas used by bats in old mine workings, where disturbance, human access, and disease transmission can create serious risks for bat populations.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $31,000. The award ceiling was $31,000, and the award floor was $7,750, meaning proposals could be funded within that range depending on the scope and design of the work. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowered the barrier for applicants to participate and made it easier for smaller organizations or partners to propose targeted disease-prevention or habitat-protection efforts.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating that a wide range of applicants could apply (for example, governmental entities, nonprofits, educational institutions, tribes, or private organizations), subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement. The funding activity category was identified under consumer protection, and the CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection - Resource Management), reflecting a natural resource conservation and protection emphasis consistent with BLM land stewardship responsibilities.
Key dates show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity. It was posted and created on August 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 10, 2010, and it was archived on September 30, 2010.
