Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00379
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity focused on wildlife resource management in Nevada under Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00379. Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project (for example, coordinating technical approaches, providing oversight, sharing data standards, or participating in planning and implementation). The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.247. The opportunity was created on April 29, 2021, with an original application closing date of June 30, 2021. The maximum award amount listed (award ceiling) is $250,000, though the notice does not specify how many total awards were expected.
Eligibility is limited to a set of public and nonprofit-oriented entities. Eligible applicants include 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 Native American tribal governments; non-federally recognized Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without IRS 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible, meaning a private business or a person applying on their own cannot receive an award under this specific notice of funding opportunity (NOFO).
A key restriction in this NOFO is that it does not support projects that involve the applicant hiring interns or crews. The notice explains that the only legislative authority that allows the BLM to "hire" interns is the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II - Public Lands Corps). Because of that, youth internship or crew-based proposals must be routed through a different funding path: NOFO 15.243, titled "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands." In practical terms, this means applicants should frame proposed work around wildlife resource management outcomes rather than staffing models centered on interns, youth crews, or similar arrangements, unless they are applying under the separate youth conservation opportunity.
Overall, this opportunity is intended for eligible government entities, tribes, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations to partner with the BLM on Nevada-focused wildlife resource management work via a cooperative agreement, with awards up to $250,000, and with clear limitations excluding individuals, for-profit organizations, and intern/crew hiring models under this particular NOFO.Apply for L21AS00379
