Opportunity Information: Apply for L23AS00448
The "IIJA Bureau of Land Management OR/WA Rangeland Resource Management" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L23AS00448) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, focused on rangeland resource management work in the BLM Oregon/Washington (OR/WA) area. The award is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to be substantially involved during the project (for example, coordinating work planning, providing technical direction, or participating in oversight as the work is carried out). The program is tied to the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.237.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit entities and certain education and tribal organizations. Applicants may include state, county, and local governments (including cities, townships, special districts, and independent school districts), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, public/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status. Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible to apply under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), so proposals must come from an eligible organization type.
A key restriction in the notice is that it does not support projects that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act is the specific legal authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that program framework, and that this particular rangeland resource management NOFO is not the vehicle for that kind of youth internship or conservation crew hiring. Organizations that are eligible Youth Conservation Corps, or anyone seeking to develop youth intern/crew projects under Public Lands Corps authorities, are directed instead to pursue those efforts under a different BLM funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands." In practical terms, applicants should structure proposals for this OR/WA rangeland opportunity around rangeland management outcomes rather than youth corps staffing models.
The opportunity was created on December 14, 2022, and the original closing date was April 17, 2023. The listed award ceiling is $100,000, indicating that individual awards were not expected to exceed that amount. The posting also lists "Expected Awards:" without a number, which suggests the total number of awards was not specified in the excerpted source data.Apply for L23AS00448
