Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00276
The Bureau of Land Management Wyoming Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00276) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management. It is focused on natural resource work, specifically fisheries and aquatic resources management in Wyoming, and it uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as coordination on technical approach, priorities, permitting, scheduling, or other implementation details, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
The program is associated with CFDA number 15.244 and is intended for a wide range of public and nonprofit partners that commonly work with the BLM on resource management activities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including special districts and city/township 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 nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status). The opportunity explicitly excludes individuals and for-profit organizations, meaning private companies and solo applicants cannot apply under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO).
A key restriction in the announcement is that this NOFO does not support projects that involve 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 that authority is handled through a different BLM funding pathway. As a result, youth-focused organizations that want to develop projects centered on youth crews or internship-style positions under Public Lands Corps should not use this opportunity. Instead, eligible Youth Conservation Corps applicants are directed to apply under NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands, which is the appropriate vehicle for those types of youth/intern initiatives.
In terms of funding scale and timing, the listed award ceiling is $600,000, indicating that awards under this opportunity can be made up to that amount. The original closing date was May 16, 2022, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of March 16, 2022. While the posting notes an expected awards field, the number of awards is not provided in the supplied source data, so applicants would typically look to the full NOFO text for any additional details about anticipated funding totals, the approximate number of awards, project periods, cost share expectations (if any), and evaluation criteria.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a BLM Wyoming partnership funding source for aquatic and fisheries-related management work on or connected to BLM-managed lands and waters, designed for governmental, tribal, nonprofit, and educational institutions, with clear boundaries that exclude for-profit applicants and steer youth internship/crew projects to the separate youth conservation NOFO.Apply for L22AS00276
