Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00305
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity focused on threatened and endangered species work in Utah. The opportunity is titled "Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management Utah Threatened and Endangered Species" and is issued under Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00305. Awards will be made through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordinating on planning, implementation steps, or reporting), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.246. The listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $150,000.
A key feature of this notice is applicant eligibility and the explicit restrictions on certain types of participation. Individuals and for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Eligible applicants include a broad range of public and nonprofit entities, such as state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category listing). In practical terms, the NOFO is aimed at governmental, educational, tribal, and nonprofit partners that can carry out conservation-related activities aligned with BLM priorities for threatened and endangered species in Utah.
The NOFO also includes a specific limitation related to staffing models that sometimes appear in conservation projects. It states that this program does not support entities hiring interns or crews under this funding. The notice explains that the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns is the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II - Public Lands Corps). Because of that statutory limitation, youth-focused conservation corps or internship-style efforts are directed elsewhere: eligible Youth Conservation Corps organizations may only apply for projects developed under a different funding opportunity, NOFO 15.243, titled "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands." In other words, this threatened and endangered species NOFO is not the appropriate vehicle for proposals centered on employing interns or organizing field crews as a primary project mechanism; those concepts belong under the youth conservation NOFO instead.
Timing and administrative details included in the source information indicate the opportunity was created on April 2, 2021, with an original closing date of May 3, 2021. The agency listed is the Bureau of Land Management. While the provided excerpt does not enumerate specific project types, deliverables, or target species, the title and category clearly indicate the purpose is to support threatened and endangered species-related natural resource work on or connected to BLM-managed lands in Utah, implemented through cooperative agreements with eligible governmental, tribal, educational, housing authority, or nonprofit partners, up to $150,000 per award.Apply for L21AS00305
