Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00024

The BLM NV Statewide Wildlife Program (Funding Opportunity Number L19AS00024) is a Bureau of Land Management, Nevada-based grant opportunity designed to support projects that maintain, restore, and conserve wildlife species and their habitats on BLM-administered public lands. The central goal is to help sustain healthy, self-sustaining wildlife populations and preserve a natural abundance and diversity of species for long-term public benefit, including wildlife-related recreation and other compatible uses now and in the future. Because BLM lands in Nevada contain some of the country most ecologically diverse and important habitats, the program emphasizes practical, on-the-ground conservation actions as well as improved planning and decision-making through better data.

The opportunity is structured to promote shared stewardship and coordinated conservation. BLM intends to work closely with a wide range of partners, including state and federal wildlife agencies, Tribes, and other organizations, recognizing that effective habitat and species conservation often requires cross-boundary collaboration and alignment of priorities. This partner-driven approach is meant to support habitat conservation and restoration efforts that benefit many kinds of wildlife, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that rely on Nevada public lands.

A notable feature of the program is its focus on using modern geospatial technologies to improve how wildlife and habitat information is collected, managed, and shared. By leveraging up-to-date spatial data tools, the program aims to make wildlife conservation work more efficient and better coordinated across BLM offices and external partners. This includes strengthening data-sharing practices so that planning, monitoring, and adaptive management can be based on the best available information.

The program also highlights integrated vegetation and habitat restoration as a key strategy, often coordinated with other BLM programs to stretch available dollars and increase overall impact. These restoration efforts are framed not only as wildlife habitat improvements, but also as actions that can deliver multiple public-land benefits at the same time. Examples of these co-benefits include increasing forage for livestock, improving water quality, controlling or removing invasive weed species, and reducing the risk or severity of catastrophic wildfires. In other words, the program supports conservation work that is designed to improve ecosystem function broadly while directly supporting wildlife habitat needs.

In terms of funding mechanics, this is a discretionary opportunity that uses a cooperative agreement, indicating an expectation of substantial involvement or collaboration with BLM during the project period rather than a hands-off pass-through award. The opportunity is listed under the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, with an activity category of Natural Resources and CFDA number 15.247. The stated award ceiling is $250,000, with approximately five awards expected.

Eligibility is relatively broad for public and mission-driven entities that commonly work in wildlife conservation and habitat management. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) designation (other than institutions of higher education). This mix of eligible applicants supports the program emphasis on collaborative conservation across jurisdictions and institutions.

The opportunity opened April 30, 2019, and closed July 15, 2019, at 5:00 PM PST, with two submission rounds: Round One applications due June 1, 2019 (5:00 PM PST) and Round Two applications due July 15, 2019 (5:00 PM PST). Overall, the grant is aimed at funding Nevada-focused wildlife and habitat conservation projects on BLM lands, especially those that combine strong partnerships, sound science and data practices, and restoration approaches that produce lasting ecological benefits.
