About this opportunity
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking applicants for its FY 2025 National Conservation Lands - Management Studies Support Program under Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) L25AS00137. This program supports research and community/citizen science projects that inform BLM's management of National Conservation Lands, which include National Monuments, Wilderness Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and other congressionally-designated areas. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, higher education institutions, tribes, and non-profit organizations. Proposals will be evaluated based on management application (45%), technical merit (30%), alignment with BLM priorities (15%), and public benefit (10%). The application deadline is January 31, 2025, with projects expected to start around August 1, 2025.
The program will provide up to $350,000 in total funding for approximately 9 cooperative agreement awards ranging from $5,000 to $40,000. Projects can run for up to 5 years, ending by September 30, 2030. The grants are funded under the National Landscape Conservation System program (CFDA 15.248) administered by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management.
Synopsis
The National Conservation Lands programs financially support studies aimed at increasing our understanding of the resources present on BLM lands, the values these areas protect, and the effectiveness of BLM's resource management decisions. The program seeks to develop and maintain strong partnerships with State, local, university, tribal, and non-profit stakeholders in shared conservation stewardship by engaging partners in conducting management-focused research on the National Conservation Lands. Results from these studies on National Conservation Lands will inform management strategies utilized throughout BLM as well as other land management entities. The Management Studies Support Program for National Conservation Lands will utilize partnerships with University, State, local, tribal, and non-profit entities to gather the best available data and synthesize information to support BLM's land management decision processes and co-stewardship initiatives.
