Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM AZ Golden Eagle Inventory and Monitoring" was a discretionary cooperative agreement meant to support ongoing statewide work to locate, inventory, and monitor golden eagle nests on public lands in Arizona. The effort is part of a broader, long-running collaboration known as the Southwestern Golden Eagle Management Committee, which began in 2010 and brings together federal, state, and local governments, tribes, public utilities, and nongovernmental partners. The Arizona Game and Fish Department serves as the coordinating hub for management activities and for pulling together funding and participation from the various cooperators, while Arizona BLM proposed to contribute additional funds to help keep the nest inventory and monitoring program moving forward.
A central driver behind the grant is the rise in public concern over the last several years about how renewable energy development in the western United States might affect golden eagle populations. Because golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940, land management decisions that could influence nesting birds and their habitat carry heightened legal and conservation importance. Arizona has only relatively recently documented nesting golden eagles in significant numbers, so there is a recognized need to strengthen the underlying data on where nests occur, how often they are used, and how successful nesting attempts are, especially on lands managed by BLM.
The stated objective of the project is to improve understanding of golden eagle nesting success on Arizona public lands so BLM can respond credibly to public concerns and make better-informed decisions about proposed renewable energy projects and other land uses. Just as important, the project is designed to sustain and build a developing partnership among agencies, tribes, utilities, and conservation organizations (including the American Eagle Foundation) in order to improve public understanding of the species conservation status in Arizona and to keep management aligned across jurisdictions.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the program anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $100,000 (floor) and $500,000 (ceiling). The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, signaling that BLM expected substantial involvement and coordination with the recipient during implementation rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity fell under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and was categorized under natural resources. Cost sharing or matching was not required.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to essentially any applicant type, subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted June 13, 2014, and required electronic submission through Grants.gov by July 23, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, with late proposals not considered. The listing was archived July 28, 2014. For access or questions at the time, the BLM grants management contact was Eddie W. Bell Jr. (602-417-9268, ebell@blm.gov).
