Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00069
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity called "BLM Headquarters Office Wild Horse and Burro Research Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00069). The funding will be awarded through a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the funded research rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category under CFDA 15.229, and it is focused on research projects related to the Wild Horse and Burro Program at the BLM headquarters level.
A wide range of non-federal applicants are eligible, including state, county, city/township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status. Individuals are also listed as eligible applicants. One key restriction is that for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible for awards under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), so commercial entities cannot apply for funding through this particular solicitation.
Federal agencies are not expected to apply through the standard NOFO pathway. Instead, if a federal agency wants to participate, it can pursue an Inter-Agency Agreement (IAA) by submitting a research proposal directly by email to BLMHQWHBResearch@blm.gov. This indicates BLM is open to funding or partnering with other federal entities, but through the federal-to-federal agreement mechanism rather than the public grants process.
The NOFO also clarifies what it will not fund: it 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 specific authority, and this NOFO is not the vehicle for those types of youth or intern hiring arrangements. As a result, Youth Conservation Corps groups should not use this opportunity for such projects; instead, they are directed to apply under a different BLM funding program, NOFO 15.243, titled "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands."
In terms of timing and scale, the opportunity was created on November 16, 2021, and the original application closing date was January 31, 2022. The listed award ceiling is $10,000,000, indicating BLM may support large research efforts, although the number of expected awards is not provided in the source data. Overall, this opportunity is designed to support research that informs BLM wild horse and burro management, with eligibility concentrated among government entities, tribes, nonprofits, universities, and individuals, while excluding for-profit applicants and steering youth-intern/crew hiring proposals to a separate youth-focused funding announcement.Apply for L22AS00069
