Opportunity Summary:
The BLM AK CCS Collaborative Wildlife Population and Habitat Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00268) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement under the Challenge Cost Share (CCS) program (CFDA 15.238). It was designed as a continuation of two ongoing Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) efforts, originally funded as projects L09AC15910 and L09AC15892, with the main goal of consolidating them into a single, more streamlined award to improve efficiency and make better use of staff time, logistics, and funding.
The work supported by this opportunity centers on long-term wildlife and habitat monitoring in key BLM-managed areas of Alaska. One component (formerly L09AC15892) focuses on monitoring wildlife populations and habitat conditions in the White Mountains Natural Resource Area (NRA) and the Steese Natural Conservation Area (NCA). The other component (formerly L09AC15910) supports monitoring of the Fortymile Caribou Herd (FCH), specifically tracking the herd's population status and harvest levels. Taken together, the consolidated project aims to maintain continuity in data collection and assessment so managers can detect trends over time, evaluate habitat and population changes, and support informed land and wildlife management decisions.
Funding for the opportunity was expected to result in a single award. The estimated total funding amount was $175,000, with an award ceiling of $175,000 and an award floor of $500. Cost sharing was required, meaning the recipient needed to provide a non-federal match as part of the project budget. Eligibility was limited to state governments, aligning with the intent to continue the work with ADFG as the established monitoring partner.
The announcement was posted on July 25, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2014, and it was later archived on December 30, 2018. The funding opportunity was administered by the Bureau of Land Management. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Betty Lockard, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 907-267-1213 or via email at blockard@blm.gov. Additional general listing information was available through Grants.gov.
