Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00072
The BLM ORWA Plant Conservation and Restoration Master Funding Opportunity Announcement (Funding Opportunity Number L19AS00072) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means funded projects are expected to involve substantial involvement and coordination with BLM staff during planning and implementation, rather than operating as fully independent, stand-alone grants. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.245.
This opportunity is rooted in a specific land-management problem that became especially clear after large, damaging wildfires across the Western United States: burned landscapes often need active restoration, but restoration is difficult to do well when there is not enough appropriate native seed or other locally adapted plant material available. Congress addressed this gap in 2001 by directing BLM to establish a native plant material program, and it also encouraged coordination among federal and non-federal partners through the Plant Conservation Alliance (originally established in 1994), as referenced in House Report 106-914. In practical terms, the funding supports work that helps BLM and its partners identify, maintain, and restore Western native plant communities on public lands, with an emphasis on rebuilding resilient native vegetation after disturbance (including wildfire) and strengthening the supply and use of suitable native plant materials.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications BLM may provide in the full announcement’s eligibility language. This kind of broad eligibility typically allows participation by universities, nonprofit organizations, tribes, state and local governments, research institutions, and private entities, as long as they can meet federal award requirements and align their proposed work with program goals.
The announcement was created on May 28, 2019, and it was open for submission from May 28, 2019 through August 27, 2019, with a final closing time of 12:00 PM Eastern. BLM structured the competition into three submission rounds, with application due dates on June 27, 2019 (Round One), July 27, 2019 (Round Two), and August 27, 2019 (Round Three). This staged approach typically gives applicants multiple chances to submit within the same overall funding window, and it can help the agency manage proposal review and selection over time.
In terms of funding scale, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $850,000, and the opportunity anticipated making around 18 awards. Overall, the announcement signals a significant investment in native plant conservation and restoration capacity, especially the upstream work that makes restoration feasible at landscape scale: building knowledge about native plant communities, ensuring availability of appropriate native plant materials, and improving the ability of public land managers and their partners to restore ecosystems after large disturbances in the West.Apply for L19AS00072
