Opportunity Information: Apply for L24AS00250
The FY24 IIJA/IRA Bureau of Land Management Nevada (NV) Plant Conservation and Restoration Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L24AS00250) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work tied to plant conservation and restoration management in Nevada. Awards are expected to be made as cooperative agreements, which generally means BLM anticipates substantial involvement in the project through collaboration, coordination, or joint participation during performance. The program is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.245 and is positioned as part of BLM's Nevada-focused efforts to conserve native plant resources and restore degraded landscapes, consistent with BLM's broader land stewardship mission and the funding emphasis suggested by IIJA/IRA.
Eligibility is limited to a set of public and nonprofit entities, along with institutions of higher education and tribal entities. Eligible applicants 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; Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The notice explicitly excludes individuals and for-profit organizations from applying, so businesses and private individuals cannot be direct applicants under this NOFO.
A key restriction in the announcement is that this NOFO does not support organizations that want to hire 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 because of that, youth and conservation corps style projects intended to operate under Public Lands Corps authorities must be pursued through a different funding vehicle. Specifically, eligible Youth Conservation Corps applicants are directed to apply under NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands, rather than through this plant conservation and restoration management opportunity. In practice, that means proposals for this NOFO should be built around conservation and restoration outcomes without structuring the budget and staffing model around Public Lands Corps hiring mechanisms.
The announcement also highlights how proposals may intersect with the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) program. CESUs are described as partnerships designed to promote and provide research, studies, assessments, monitoring, technical assistance, and educational services. If an award is made to a CESU partner under a formally negotiated Master CESU agreement, and the work is consistent with CESU purposes, then indirect costs are capped: they may not exceed 17.5 percent of the indirect cost base recognized in the partner's federally approved Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA). Applicants are instructed to state clearly whether their proposal advances CESU program purposes and, if it does, to identify which CESU Network should be considered the host. This matters for both administrative routing and the indirect cost limitation that applies specifically in the CESU context.
From an applicant planning standpoint, the main operational details provided in the source are the application deadline and the potential project scale. The original closing date is April 12, 2024. The award ceiling is listed as $1,000,000, indicating that projects can be proposed up to that maximum amount, subject to BLM's final award decisions and available funding. The posting was created on February 12, 2024. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided source text, which usually means applicants should not assume a particular success rate and should focus on submitting a strong, well-scoped proposal aligned with the Nevada plant conservation and restoration management purpose.
Overall, this NOFO is best suited for government agencies, tribes, nonprofits, and colleges/universities that can deliver Nevada-based plant conservation, restoration, monitoring, assessment, and related technical or educational services under a cooperative agreement with BLM, while avoiding staffing approaches that depend on Public Lands Corps intern or crew hiring authorities and, where relevant, accounting for the CESU indirect cost cap and network-hosting requirements.Apply for L24AS00250
