Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00225
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming Threatened and Endangered Species grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00225; CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.246) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. It is intended to support work in the natural resources arena that benefits threatened and endangered species efforts in Wyoming under BLM management responsibilities. Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared implementation responsibilities) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of public and nonprofit entities, such as state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments; Tribal organizations that are not federally recognized as governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)). Importantly, individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), so businesses and private persons cannot be direct applicants even if they have relevant expertise.
The NOFO also includes a specific restriction related to youth and internship hiring. It does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. BLM notes that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that authority. As a result, Youth Conservation Corps-type efforts must be pursued through a different BLM funding route: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, this means applicants should not propose internship/crew hiring models that rely on Public Lands Corps authorities under this threatened and endangered species NOFO; projects needing that structure should be redirected to the youth conservation opportunity notice instead.
The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $200,000. The original closing date was May 2, 2022, and the opportunity was created March 1, 2022. The posting does not specify the expected number of awards in the provided source text, and it does not detail specific project types, required deliverables, or cost share requirements beyond the eligibility and internship-related restrictions noted above.Apply for L22AS00225
