Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00266
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Eastern States Plant Conservation and Restoration Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00266) is a discretionary Department of the Interior grant program focused on natural resources work, specifically plant conservation and restoration management activities associated with BLM-managed lands and related priorities in the BLM Eastern States area. Awards are made as cooperative agreements, which typically means BLM expects substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on work plans, technical methods, access, reporting, and alignment with on-the-ground management needs), rather than a hands-off pass-through award.
Funding under this notice has an award ceiling of $100,000 per award. The notice was created on March 7, 2022, and the original application closing date listed is May 6, 2022. The listing indicates anticipated awards but does not specify a count in the provided source text. The CFDA/Assistance Listing number tied to this opportunity is 15.245, and the activity category is Natural Resources, which signals a conservation-oriented scope rather than research-only or workforce-development-only funding.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, including state, county, and local governments; 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; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in the nonprofit categories). Two categories are explicitly ineligible: individuals and for-profit organizations may not apply for awards under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
A major limitation in the notice is about internships and crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. This NOFO does not support entities that are attempting to hire interns or crews under Public Lands Corps authority. The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific framework, and projects designed around that mechanism are not funded through this plant conservation and restoration management NOFO. Instead, eligible Youth Conservation Corps organizations are directed to apply under a different funding opportunity specifically intended for youth conservation and public lands crew or intern projects: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants to L22AS00266 should structure proposals around plant conservation and restoration outcomes and avoid proposing PLC-style intern/crew hiring models under this announcement.
Overall, this opportunity is best suited for qualified government entities, tribes/tribal organizations, higher education institutions, and nonprofits that can carry out plant-focused conservation or restoration management projects in coordination with BLM Eastern States, within a project budget up to $100,000, and with an approach that is not centered on Public Lands Corps intern or crew hiring.Apply for L22AS00266
