Opportunity Information: Apply for L24AS00110
The FY 2024 IIJA/IRA Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Arizona Invasive and Noxious Plant Management Program (Funding Opportunity Number L24AS00110) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. It is focused on natural resource work in Arizona tied to invasive and noxious plant management on public lands, and it will be funded and administered through cooperative agreements, which typically means BLM expects substantial involvement and collaboration during project planning, implementation, and reporting rather than a hands-off grant arrangement.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit entities and educational institutions. Eligible applicants include 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 Tribal governments; other Tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status. Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), so proposals from private companies or individuals cannot be considered.
A key restriction in this NOFO is that it does not support organizations that want to hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act is the only legislative authority BLM can use to "hire" interns under that framework, and as a result, youth internship or youth crew concepts must be routed through a separate funding path. Specifically, eligible Youth Conservation Corps applicants are directed to pursue projects under NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands, rather than submitting those components under this Arizona invasive/noxious plant program.
The NOFO also highlights special considerations for applicants that are part of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) network. CESUs are described as partnerships designed to promote and deliver research, studies, assessments, monitoring, technical assistance, and educational services. If a cooperative agreement is awarded to a CESU partner under a formally negotiated Master CESU agreement, and the work is consistent with the CESU purpose, indirect costs are capped. In that scenario, indirect costs are limited to no more than 17.5 percent of the indirect cost base as recognized in the partner's federally approved Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA). Applicants are expected to state clearly whether their proposal advances CESU purposes and, if so, to identify which CESU Network should serve as the host.
From a funding logistics standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $500,000. The original application closing date is June 28, 2024, and the opportunity was created on April 2, 2024. The Assistance Listing (CFDA) number associated with this funding is 15.230, and the activity category is Natural Resources. Overall, the notice is aimed at supporting coordinated invasive and noxious plant management efforts in Arizona through eligible governmental, Tribal, nonprofit, and academic partners, while steering youth hiring and internship-style proposals to the separate BLM youth-focused NOFO and setting specific indirect cost rules for CESU-based cooperative agreements.Apply for L24AS00110
