Opportunity Information: Apply for L23AS00203
The IIJA Bureau of Land Management Utah Threatened and Endangered Species Program (Funding Opportunity Number L23AS00203) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is designed to support work in the natural resources arena, specifically projects that benefit threatened and endangered species priorities in Utah on or connected to BLM-managed lands. Awards are made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating methods, participating in planning, providing technical input, or collaborating on implementation and reporting), rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
Eligible applicants are limited to public and nonprofit or educational entities. The program allows applications from state, county, and city or 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 Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education, where that distinction is handled separately). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible, so private businesses and independent applicants cannot apply under this notice of funding opportunity.
A key restriction in the notice is that this funding opportunity does not support applicants 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 permits BLM to "hire" interns under that framework, and this particular NOFO is not the vehicle for that type of youth internship or crew-based work. As a result, Youth Conservation Corps-style projects tied to Public Lands Corps authorities must be pursued through a separate funding opportunity, identified as NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants should avoid proposing project budgets or staffing plans that rely on Public Lands Corps internships or crew hiring mechanisms under this NOFO, and instead focus on other allowable staffing and partnership approaches.
The funding opportunity was created on February 10, 2023, with an original application closing date of April 11, 2023. The listed award ceiling is $80,000 per award. While the notice indicates expected awards, the exact number is not specified in the provided source data. The CFDA/assistance listing number associated with this opportunity is 15.246, aligning it with BLM assistance programming.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted BLM Utah program intended to fund collaborative conservation actions for threatened and endangered species, with eligibility centered on governmental, tribal, nonprofit, and educational partners, and with a clear boundary that youth intern/crew hiring under Public Lands Corps authorities must be routed through the separate youth-focused NOFO rather than this one.Apply for L23AS00203
