Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00339
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) New Mexico Wildlife Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00339) is a discretionary federal funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior aimed at supporting wildlife resource management work in New Mexico on lands administered by BLM. Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, collaborating on technical direction, coordination, or review of deliverables), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The program falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.247. The opportunity was created on April 28, 2022, with an original application closing date of May 31, 2022, and it listed an award ceiling of $75,000.
Eligibility is broad for public entities and mission-driven organizations, but it is explicitly not open to everyone. Eligible applicants include state, county, 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 Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education when applying under the nonprofit category). The notice makes a clear point that individuals and for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply for awards under this NOFO (Notice of Funding Opportunity), so proposals from private businesses or individual applicants would be rejected as ineligible.
A major restriction in the notice is about internships and crew hiring under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. This NOFO does not support projects where the applicant plans to hire interns or crews under that Act, because the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is described as the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework. In practical terms, applicants should not build proposals around Public Lands Corps-style internships, youth crews, or similar arrangements under this particular wildlife resource management funding call. If an organization is a qualifying Youth Conservation Corps and wants to pursue youth-focused field projects, the notice directs those applicants to use a different funding opportunity specifically designed for that purpose: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. That separation matters because it affects what kinds of labor, staffing models, and project structures are allowable under this program versus the youth conservation program.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as support for wildlife resource management projects in New Mexico that align with BLM priorities on public lands, using an assistance instrument that involves active coordination with BLM staff. Applicants that fit the eligible entity types should focus their proposals on substantive wildlife management outcomes rather than intern or youth crew hiring models, and they should plan for the collaborative nature of a cooperative agreement when designing timelines, deliverables, and project coordination.Apply for L22AS00339
