Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00170
The BLM-CO Experimentation and Research Using Native Seed Resources opportunity is a small cooperative agreement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Colorado State Office focused on strengthening restoration science and practice on Colorado public lands through applied research that uses native seed resources. The BLM manages about 8.3 million acres of public land in Colorado, plus a much larger mineral estate, spanning ecosystems from alpine tundra to canyon and mesa landscapes and broad sagebrush country. Because these lands support wildlife habitat, ecological functions, recreation, and local economies, BLM is emphasizing science-based strategies to maintain healthy native plant communities and to improve restoration outcomes after disturbances like wildfire, development, road building, and resource extraction, all of which are compounded by climate change.
A central piece of this effort is the Seeds of Success (SOS) program, a national partnership created to collect wildland native seed for research, conservation, and ecosystem restoration. SOS collections are designed to capture genetic diversity within native species; part of each collection goes into long-term conservation storage to protect against future losses, while the remainder can be used for research and on-the-ground restoration. This funding opportunity builds on that foundation by supporting experimentation and scientific studies that make practical use of these native seed resources, helping BLM refine what to plant, where to plant it, and how to ensure native species establish and persist under changing conditions. The larger goal is to ensure that appropriate native plant materials are available, genetically suitable, and capable of thriving in the habitats BLM is responsible for managing.
The award is intended as a collaboration with a university partner through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, reflecting BLMs interest in continued and expanded research partnerships with higher education. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with the expectation that the partner participates in a CESU. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM anticipates substantial involvement alongside the recipient during the project, rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant.
Administrative details indicate this is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Natural Resources category (CFDA 15.238), posted June 15, 2017, with an original closing date of August 14, 2017. BLM expected to make one award, with a maximum (award ceiling) of $24,283. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for university-led applied research that helps translate SOS native seed collections into better restoration materials and methods, ultimately improving the resilience and recovery of native plant communities across BLM-managed lands in Colorado and beyond.Apply for L17AS00170
