Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity titled "Assessment and Evaluation of Limber Pine in Wyoming and Montana" is focused on improving on-the-ground understanding of limber pine health and decline across key landscapes in Wyoming and Montana. Limber pine is listed as a sensitive species by the Wyoming BLM because populations have experienced substantial mortality tied to multiple, overlapping stressors, especially mountain pine beetle outbreaks, white pine blister rust infections, and the broader effects of climate change. A major problem highlighted in the announcement is that existing information is not detailed enough to support confident management decisions: the actual scale and distribution of mortality is not well documented, and limber pine woodlands, particularly those at lower elevations, have received limited research attention compared to other forest types.
The central objective of the project is to conduct assessments and evaluations of limber pine stands in both states to determine how widespread and severe mountain pine beetle infestations and white pine blister rust infections are within limber pine woodlands. Beyond simply recording whether these threats are present, the work is intended to capture several practical indicators that land managers can use. That includes documenting the presence of alternate hosts associated with the blister rust disease cycle, estimating the amount of reproduction (such as seedling or sapling establishment that signals whether stands are regenerating), and describing general stand characteristics across surveyed areas. Collectively, these data are meant to inform future management decisions and help BLM prioritize site-specific, project-level actions, such as where to focus monitoring, protection, restoration, or other interventions.
The planned period of performance for the agreement is two years. Funding information in the notice indicates one expected award, with an estimated total program funding amount of $62,000 across the two-year period. The assistance instrument is a grant, and the award ceiling is listed as $12,000 (with the award floor also listed as $12,000 in the source data). The funding is associated with CFDA 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management, and is categorized under natural resources activities.
Eligibility and competition are unusual for this opportunity because it is not presented as an open call for proposals. Instead, the notice states it is published to provide public notice of BLM's intent to fund project activities without full and open competition. The eligible applicant named in the announcement is Colorado State University through the Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). While there is no statutory requirement for cost sharing or matching funds, the notice explains that applicants offering matching funds are more likely to be funded. If any cost sharing is proposed from a third party, the announcement asks for documentation such as a letter committing funds or expressing formal interest.
Administrative details show the opportunity was posted on February 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 3, 2011, and an archive date of July 31, 2011. The funding opportunity number is L11AS00023. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed grants management contact is Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 307-775-6293 and ipowers@blm.gov.

Which agency is offering this funding?
The funding opportunity is offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
What is the main purpose of the project?
The central purpose is to improve on-the-ground understanding of limber pine health and decline across key landscapes in Wyoming and Montana by assessing and evaluating limber pine stands and documenting the scope and severity of major threats.
Why is limber pine a focus for this assessment?
Limber pine is listed as a sensitive species by the Wyoming BLM because populations have experienced substantial mortality associated with multiple overlapping stressors, especially mountain pine beetle outbreaks, white pine blister rust infections, and broader climate change effects.
What problem is the funding intended to address?

Beyond simply noting whether threats are present, the work is intended to capture practical indicators for land managers, including:
- Documentation of the presence of alternate hosts associated with the blister rust disease cycle
- Estimates of reproduction/regeneration (for example, seedling or sapling establishment)
- Descriptions of general stand characteristics across surveyed areas
How will the results be used by BLM?
