Opportunity Information: Apply for L16AS00211
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CO, Alpine Native Plants Material Development and Conservation" (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00211) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement. It sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.231. The purpose of the project is to strengthen the practical, science-based foundation needed to restore and conserve alpine native plant species by improving how seeds are tested, stored, and grown for restoration use, with a specific emphasis on supporting the conservation and potential recovery of Penstemon debilis.
At its core, the project is designed to advance several objectives from the National Seed Strategy, focusing on turning restoration needs into workable, repeatable protocols. One major component is conducting seed germination research and developing seed testing methods for key restoration species (Action 2.2.1). That means figuring out the conditions and treatments that reliably trigger germination and then translating that knowledge into standardized testing approaches that can be used to evaluate seed quality and performance. Another component centers on developing storage guidelines (Action 2.2.2) that help maintain seed viability over time, which is essential for building and managing seed collections that remain useful for future restoration projects. A third component is developing species-specific protocols for seed and seedling production (Action 2.2.3) in ways that maintain genetic diversity, recognizing that restoration success is not only about getting plants to grow, but also about ensuring restored populations have enough genetic variation to persist and adapt over time.
A clear conservation target in the description is Penstemon debilis. The project specifically aims to improve understanding of how to grow this plant effectively and how it might be transplanted back into its native habitat. In practical terms, this implies experimentation or applied research on propagation techniques, nursery or greenhouse production steps, and transplanting considerations that affect survival and establishment in the field. The overall intent is to move from limited or uncertain propagation knowledge toward methods that can support on-the-ground conservation and recovery efforts.
In terms of logistics, the opportunity was open to unrestricted eligible applicants, indicating that a wide range of organizations or entities could apply. The expected award structure was a single award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $50,000. The opportunity was created on June 22, 2016, and the original closing date was August 19, 2016. Overall, the funding supports a focused, applied conservation effort: improve seed and plant material practices for alpine restoration species and directly strengthen the toolkit for conserving Penstemon debilis through better propagation and transplanting knowledge.Apply for L16AS00211
