Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska grant opportunity titled "BLM Alaska Rapid Ecoregional Assessment (REA) - Central Yukon" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00078) was a discretionary funding program intended to support a single cooperative agreement focused on producing a Rapid Ecoregional Assessment for the Central Yukon area. REAs are designed as broad, landscape-scale syntheses that pull together the best available science and data to describe current resource conditions and trends across an entire ecoregion, rather than focusing on small project sites. The basic aim is to give land managers, planners, and partners a clearer, more consistent picture of ecological values and pressures so they can make better-informed decisions over large areas.
A central piece of the work described in the opportunity is identifying, analyzing, and mapping places with high ecological value. This includes locating important wildlife habitat and movement corridors, along with other key ecological features that matter for conservation and long-term ecosystem function. Beyond simply mapping high-value areas, the REA framework also evaluates potential risks and stressors that could degrade these resources over time. The notice specifically highlights major drivers such as climate change, wildfire, invasive species, energy development, and urban growth, reflecting a goal of understanding not just what resources exist, but how vulnerable they may be under different pressures.
At the same time, the assessment is intended to inform development planning by mapping areas that have relatively high potential for energy development while having comparatively lower ecological value. In practical terms, this means the REA is meant to help distinguish between areas that may be priorities for conservation and areas that could be more suitable for future energy siting, with the goal of reducing conflict and improving the strategic, up-front planning that can guide later permitting or land use decisions. Another important outcome is the creation of a landscape-scale ecological baseline, which can be used later to measure change and to evaluate whether management actions are working as intended. That baseline function is a key reason REAs are often used as foundational planning tools: they provide a reference point for tracking trends and gauging the effectiveness of future decisions.
In terms of funding, the opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The award ceiling was $1,000,000 and the award floor was $500,000, indicating BLM expected proposals to fall within that range. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project (for example, collaboration on methods, deliverables, data standards, or review processes), as opposed to a more hands-off grant arrangement. No cost sharing or matching was required, which lowered barriers for applicants that might not have had non-federal funds available.
The opportunity was listed under the Natural Resources funding activity category and tied to CFDA number 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management." Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The posting date and creation date were May 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 6, 2013. The record shows an archive date of October 1, 2017, indicating it is no longer active but remains available for reference.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 and via email at lparker@blm.gov. The official additional information link referenced Grants.gov, where the complete requirements, deliverables, and application instructions would have been posted.

What type of program was this?
It was a discretionary funding program intended to support a single cooperative agreement.
What is a Rapid Ecoregional Assessment (REA) in this context?
An REA is a broad, landscape-scale synthesis that compiles the best available science and data to describe current resource conditions and trends across an entire ecoregion. It is designed to support planning and decision-making at large scales rather than focusing on small, individual project sites.
What geographic area was the assessment focused on?
The assessment focus area was the Central Yukon area.
What was the main purpose of the Central Yukon REA?
The main purpose was to give land managers, planners, and partners a clearer and more consistent picture of ecological values and pressures across the ecoregion so they can make better-informed decisions over large areas.
What kinds of outputs or analyses were emphasized in the notice?
The opportunity emphasized identifying, analyzing, and mapping places with high ecological value, including important wildlife habitat and movement corridors, along with other ecological features important for conservation and long-term ecosystem function.
Does the REA only map ecological values, or does it also look at threats?
It also evaluates potential risks and stressors that could degrade resources over time. The notice highlights major drivers such as climate change, wildfire, invasive species, energy development, and urban growth.
How was the REA intended to support land use or development planning?
In addition to mapping high ecological value areas, the REA was intended to inform development planning by mapping areas with relatively high potential for energy development while having comparatively lower ecological value. The goal was to help distinguish areas that may be priorities for conservation from areas that may be more suitable for future energy siting, reducing conflict and improving up-front planning.
What is meant by creating a "landscape-scale ecological baseline"?
The REA was intended to create a landscape-scale ecological baseline that could be used later to measure change over time and evaluate whether management actions are working as intended. This baseline serves as a reference point for tracking trends and gauging the effectiveness of future decisions.
