Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00073
The grant opportunity titled "BLM New Mexico Resource Management Planning Support for Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks and Prehistoric Trackways National Monuments" (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00073) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. It was created on May 16, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 18, 2017. The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program is tied to the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.231.
At its core, the opportunity is meant to support BLM planning and on-the-ground resource understanding for two New Mexico national monuments: Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument and Prehistoric Trackways National Monument. The BLM describes this as a continuation of prior collaboration, noting that for the previous five years the agency worked with a partner on efforts that included paleontological inventory, studying basalt lava flows, and producing information intended for wayside exhibits focused on geology. In practical terms, that background signals the kind of partner and expertise the BLM is looking for: an organization capable of producing credible scientific and interpretive products that can be used in public-facing education as well as in internal land management decision-making.
The main purpose moving forward is to once again partner on mutually beneficial projects that help guide development of the resource management plan (RMP) for Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument. An RMP is the BLMs primary planning document that sets management goals, allowable uses, and protective measures for public lands over the long term. Support for an RMP can involve assembling and synthesizing resource data, filling information gaps through field inventories, producing technical reports, and helping translate scientific findings into planning-relevant recommendations. The announcement also emphasizes helping develop best management practices for Prehistoric Trackways National Monument, which suggests work that turns resource knowledge into clear, implementable guidance for protecting and managing sensitive values like fossils, geological features, and related scientific and educational resources.
Funding details indicate a single expected award with an award ceiling of $500,000. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity as long as it meets any additional eligibility conditions that would have been included in the full notice text. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement and only one award is anticipated, the intended result looks like a focused partnership where one lead recipient coordinates or carries out the major tasks, with the BLM actively engaged throughout to ensure the deliverables directly support planning for Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks and best management practice development for Prehistoric Trackways.Apply for L17AS00073
