Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM AK - Moose Telemetry - Alaska Department of Fish and Game" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00137) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement for a cooperative agreement focused on natural resource management and wildlife conservation in Alaska. The project supports ongoing collaboration between the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) and BLM to track moose movements and habitat use on BLM-managed lands within Game Management Unit (GMU) 21E. This work has been underway since 2010 and centers on collecting detailed telemetry data using satellite radio collars to better understand where moose travel and concentrate during key parts of their annual cycle.
The core purpose of the project is to generate reliable, fine-scale movement data that can identify and map critical habitats, including wintering areas, calving grounds, and summer ranges. The announcement emphasizes the importance of this information in the Yukon and Innoko River Bottoms, especially in and around the villages of Grayling, Anvik, Shageluk, and Holy Cross. By pinpointing where moose spend time across seasons, the cooperating agencies can make better-informed management decisions on federal lands, such as evaluating habitat conditions, anticipating how environmental changes may affect moose distribution, and supporting decisions that balance conservation objectives with human use.
A major driver behind the project is subsistence. Moose are a key subsistence species for communities in the region, and the population is closely managed by both BLM and ADFG on federal lands. The telemetry data produced through this effort helps managers understand population distribution and seasonal availability, which can directly inform responsible management actions intended to sustain moose populations while recognizing the dependence of local residents on the resource.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity offered an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and a minimum award floor of $500. BLM anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to state governments, aligning with the intended partner, ADFG. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management." The opportunity was posted on July 18, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2013, and it was later archived on October 1, 2018.

Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or via email at lparker@blm.gov. Additional details were hosted through Grants.gov, as referenced in the announcement link.
