Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00211) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management. The project focuses on the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) and is aimed at strengthening watershed hydrology and climate monitoring to support on-the-ground resource management. In practical terms, the work centers on collecting and maintaining field observations from river gauging stations and meteorological monitoring sites so BLM has reliable, site-specific data to inform decisions that affect water resources and the ecosystems that depend on them.
The core purpose is to generate consistent, defensible hydrologic and weather/climate datasets that can be used to evaluate conditions and trends across NPR-A. This includes measurements that help BLM understand how water moves through watersheds, how streamflow changes over time, and how local meteorological conditions influence runoff, river levels, and broader ecosystem health. The announcement specifically notes cooperation with the Water and Environmental Research Center (WERC) at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, indicating that the effort is structured as a collaborative, field-data-driven program where the partner contributes technical and operational capacity to maintain stations and gather observations. The intended outcome is better-informed management decisions, particularly those tied to protecting water resources and the habitats and ecological processes that rely on them.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $480,000. The award ceiling was listed as $480,000 and the award floor as $500, suggesting BLM could fund a small to full-scale effort but expected to make one main award up to the ceiling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the stated involvement of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and signaling that the program was designed for an academic partner with field research and monitoring capabilities.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 15, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2014. The listing was later archived on December 30, 2018. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting the program’s emphasis on monitoring and protecting hydrologic systems and connected ecosystems within a major federal reserve in Alaska.
