Opportunity Summary:
The Bird Species Distribution Modeling grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00309) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement structured as a cooperative agreement under the environmental funding activity category. The core purpose of the project was to build on bird distribution modeling work originally developed for the 2011 U.S. State of the Birds Report and extend it in ways that directly support public-land management decisions, especially across the western United States where BLM administers large and ecologically important landscapes.
At the heart of the project is the idea of quantifying and clearly displaying where bird species occur and how those distributions overlap with public lands. The emphasis is placed on landbird species believed to be strongly tied to habitats commonly found on BLM-managed lands in the western U.S. By translating existing modeling into updated or expanded distribution products, the project aims to produce spatially explicit outputs that help land managers see which species are most dependent on these public landscapes. In practice, this kind of work typically results in maps, datasets, and summary statistics that compare modeled species ranges or predicted abundance with land ownership boundaries, enabling a direct “who manages what share” view of biodiversity responsibility.
A key conservation and stewardship outcome is identifying which bird species have a high proportion of their overall populations occurring on BLM lands (and potentially on other federal lands as well). The announcement frames this as a way to clarify stewardship responsibility: if BLM lands support a large share of a species’ total population, then BLM’s management choices can have outsized impacts on that species’ long-term conservation status. The modeling products are therefore intended not only to describe distributions, but also to support prioritization, planning, and accountability for species conservation across multiple agencies.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $80,000. The award ceiling was $80,000 and the award floor was $10,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The program was listed under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, signaling its alignment with applied conservation and natural resource decision support.
Key dates show this was a time-limited, now-archived opportunity: it was posted and created on August 24, 2010, had an original and current closing date of September 5, 2010, and was archived on October 5, 2010. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov. For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 202-912-7098 or by email at lisaclayton@blm.gov.
Bird Species Distribution Modeling Grant (L10AS00309) - FAQs
What is the Bird Species Distribution Modeling grant opportunity?
The Bird Species Distribution Modeling grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00309) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement structured as a cooperative agreement under the environmental funding activity category.
What was the main purpose of this project?
The core purpose was to build on bird distribution modeling work originally developed for the 2011 U.S. State of the Birds Report and extend it in ways that directly support public-land management decisions, especially across the western United States where BLM manages large and ecologically important landscapes.
What does "bird species distribution modeling" mean in the context of this opportunity?
In this opportunity, distribution modeling refers to quantifying and clearly displaying where bird species occur and how those modeled distributions overlap with public lands. The intent was to produce spatially explicit outputs that help land managers understand which bird species are most dependent on BLM-administered landscapes.
Which bird species were emphasized?
The emphasis was on landbird species believed to be strongly tied to habitats commonly found on BLM-managed lands in the western United States.
What geographic area was the focus of the work?
The work was aimed particularly at the western United States, reflecting the large extent and ecological importance of BLM-administered lands in that region.
What types of outputs or deliverables were expected from the project?
The announcement described outcomes typical of this type of effort, such as maps, datasets, and summary statistics that compare modeled species ranges or predicted abundance with land ownership boundaries. These outputs support a practical view of "who manages what share" of biodiversity responsibility.
How were the modeling products intended to be used by land managers?
The products were intended to support prioritization, planning, and accountability for species conservation by showing where species occur and how their distributions overlap with BLM lands (and potentially other federal lands). This helps inform management decisions on public lands.
What conservation or stewardship question was this project trying to answer?
A key outcome was identifying bird species that have a high proportion of their overall populations occurring on BLM lands (and potentially on other federal lands). The announcement framed this as a way to clarify stewardship responsibility, since management choices on BLM lands may have outsized impacts on the long-term conservation status of species strongly supported by those lands.
What kind of award mechanism was used?
The opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement.
How much funding was available?
The estimated total funding amount was $80,000. The award ceiling was $80,000 and the award floor was $10,000.
How many awards were anticipated?
The opportunity anticipated a single award.
Was cost sharing or matching required?
No cost-sharing or matching requirement was stated in the provided information.
Who was eligible to apply?
Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category).
What program or CFDA listing was associated with this opportunity?
The program was listed under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, indicating alignment with applied conservation and natural resource decision support.
When was the opportunity posted?
It was posted and created on August 24, 2010.
What was the application deadline?
The original and current closing date was September 5, 2010.
Is this opportunity still open?
No. It was a time-limited opportunity and is now archived. The archive date was October 5, 2010.
Where were additional details available?
Additional details were made available through Grants.gov.
Who was the listed contact for administrative or access issues?
The listed contact was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer. She could be reached by phone at 202-912-7098 or by email at lisaclayton@blm.gov.
Which agency issued this funding opportunity?
The opportunity was issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
What was the broader management value of comparing bird distributions with land ownership boundaries?
Comparing modeled species ranges or predicted abundance with land ownership boundaries supports a clear picture of how much of a species distribution (or predicted population) falls on BLM lands, helping agencies understand stewardship responsibility and coordinate conservation planning across jurisdictions.
