Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 20 N009
This grant opportunity is a discretionary award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, intended as a Notice of Intent to Award to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The project focus is environmental protection, specifically targeting aquatic invasive species (AIS) risks associated with recreational watercraft movement across state and regional boundaries. The funding is structured as a grant and is aimed at supporting continued, coordinated prevention efforts rather than launching an entirely new program.
The central purpose is to keep improving collaboration among multiple jurisdictions by strengthening day-to-day communications and data sharing. In practical terms, the funding supports the Regional WID (Watercraft Inspection and Decontamination) Data Sharing System, which enables agencies and field stations to quickly exchange information about watercraft that may pose a higher risk of transporting invasive mussels or other AIS. By making it easier to identify and flag high-risk boats and share that status across participating partners, the system is designed to help prevent zebra and quagga mussels from being introduced into new waters throughout the Western United States.
Operationally, the opportunity emphasizes several outcomes: increased protection of water resources, smoother and more effective operations at inspection and decontamination field stations, and improved customer service for boaters and anglers. The logic is that faster access to consistent information across jurisdictions reduces delays and confusion at inspection points, helps staff make better-informed decisions in real time, and supports a more unified regional response to the movement of potentially contaminated watercraft.
In terms of basic award details, the opportunity number is BOR LC 20 N009 and the CFDA number listed is 15.517. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, and the notice is specifically tied to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, indicating a targeted intent to fund a single recipient rather than a broad competitive field. The anticipated funding amount tops out at an award ceiling of $46,000, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on May 15, 2020, with an original closing date of May 29, 2020, reflecting a short window typical of intent-to-award or directed funding actions.
Overall, the grant is designed to sustain and strengthen a regional information-sharing tool that helps agencies respond faster to AIS threats, prioritize inspections and interventions based on risk, and reduce the chance that invasive mussels spread to new waterways via recreational boating.Apply for BOR LC 20 N009
