Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00161
The grant opportunity titled "BLM-(WO), Support of professional development and communication on wildlife management and biology through a professional society for wildlife" is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal engagement. The focus of the opportunity is on strengthening professional development and improving communication related to wildlife management and wildlife biology, specifically by working through a professional society dedicated to wildlife.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00161 and falls within the Natural Resources funding activity category. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing associated with it is 15.231, which corresponds to BLM assistance programs. The BLM created the opportunity on June 13, 2017, with an original application closing date of August 14, 2017, indicating a relatively short application window typical of many federal notices.
In terms of funding, the award has a ceiling of $35,000, and the BLM anticipated making a single award under this notice (Expected Awards: 1). That combination suggests a targeted, relatively small-scale project or support activity rather than a large multi-year research program. The core intent is to support activities that help develop wildlife professionals and facilitate the exchange of information, tools, and best practices across the wildlife management and biology community, using a professional society as the delivery mechanism. Examples of what this can mean in practice often include support for training, workshops, conferences, professional networking, dissemination of technical guidance, or other society-led communication and capacity-building activities that align with BLM wildlife management priorities.
Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity, assuming the applicant met any additional eligibility clarifications that would have been provided in the full notice under the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. In general, for a cooperative agreement like this, the BLM would be looking for an organization that can credibly manage and deliver professional development programming and communications to the wildlife field at a national or broad professional scale, particularly through an established professional society.
Overall, this grant is best understood as a small, single-award BLM initiative aimed at improving the workforce and information-sharing systems that support wildlife management and biology, leveraging the convening power and communication channels of a professional wildlife society.Apply for L17AS00161
