Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Avain Monitoring on BLM Public Lands in California and parts of Arizona" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00027) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resource work under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose is to support avian (bird) monitoring activities on BLM-managed public lands across California and portions of Arizona, aligning with wildlife conservation and resource management priorities.
A key point in the posted text is that the announcement is an amendment intended to correct or replace specific language in the original notice. In the funding opportunity description, the background section is revised to clarify that BLM "requires support" and that this support can come from "any type of entity organizations" rather than being limited to non-governmental, non-profit organizations. In practical terms, the amendment broadens who BLM is explicitly seeking assistance from for this work, indicating that the agency is open to partnerships beyond the originally stated non-governmental nonprofit scope.
The amendment also changes the eligibility language in a major way. Where eligibility may previously have been limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the revised eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above)," with the caveat that applicants still need to review any clarifications contained in the announcement's "Additional Information on Eligibility" text field. The intent of the amendment is that any otherwise qualified entity may apply, subject to any remaining constraints described elsewhere in the full announcement. The notice also states that all other terms and conditions remain the same, meaning the amendment is targeted primarily at fixing the background and eligibility sections rather than rewriting the full program requirements.
Funding-wise, the announcement anticipated up to three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $800,000. The ceiling is listed as $800,000 and the floor as $2,500, indicating awards could vary widely in size depending on the proposed scope of work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally reduces barriers for applicants that may not have available non-federal funds. The opportunity was posted February 18, 2011, created February 25, 2011, and had an application deadline of March 10, 2011, with an archive date of March 31, 2011, meaning it was a time-limited competition during that period.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Andralee Holden Hughes, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 951-697-5254 and jholden@blm.gov. The full announcement and related materials were available through Grants.gov, with an additional information link provided in the listing.
