Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00111
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon/Washington Invasive and Noxious Plant Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00111) is a discretionary federal grant program focused on controlling, reducing, and managing invasive and noxious plant species on public lands in Oregon and Washington. It is administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM and is tied to the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.230). Awards are issued as cooperative agreements, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordinating work planning, aligning methods with agency priorities, and participating in project oversight rather than simply providing funds and stepping back.
Eligibility is limited to public entities, eligible tribal entities, nonprofits, and educational institutions. Specifically, the eligible applicant types include state, county, and city/township 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; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education for those nonprofit categories). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), so proposals must come from an eligible organization type.
A key restriction in this NOFO is that it does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework, and this particular invasive/noxious plant management NOFO is not the vehicle for that kind of youth internship or crew hiring. As a result, Youth Conservation Corps or similar youth-focused entities that want to propose projects centered on youth crews or internships are directed to a separate BLM funding opportunity, identified as NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands, rather than applying through this invasive plant management program.
The funding details provided indicate an award ceiling of $450,000. The source information lists the original closing date as March 14, 2022, and a creation date of December 1, 2021. While the excerpt does not specify the number of expected awards, the ceiling suggests the program can support moderately sized projects, potentially including on-the-ground treatments, integrated pest management approaches, monitoring and mapping, restoration connected to invasive plant removal, outreach and coordination that directly supports invasive species control outcomes, and similar work aligned with BLM invasive/noxious plant priorities in Oregon and Washington, as long as the project structure complies with the restrictions described above.Apply for L22AS00111

What types of projects are a fit for this program?
Based on the description provided, projects should be focused on invasive and noxious plant management outcomes on public lands in Oregon and Washington. The excerpt indicates the program can support moderately sized efforts such as on-the-ground treatments, integrated pest management approaches, monitoring and mapping, restoration connected to invasive plant removal, and outreach/coordination that directly supports invasive species control outcomes, as long as the project aligns with BLM invasive/noxious plant priorities and complies with the restrictions in the notice.

What federal agency administers the award?

If our organization is eligible, can we still partner with other groups?

What general outcomes is BLM seeking through this opportunity?
The stated focus is controlling, reducing, and managing invasive and noxious plant species on public lands in Oregon and Washington.
