Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CA CCESU Seabird Disease Surveillance for the California Coastal National Monument and Environs" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00107) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on natural resource conservation and wildlife health. It is designed to support seabird disease surveillance and related management planning in and around the California Coastal National Monument, with an emphasis on understanding threats to migratory marine bird populations and improving on-the-ground responses that can reduce losses or help populations recover.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the project is expected to be carried out with substantial involvement and coordination between the recipient and BLM staff rather than operating as a stand-alone, independently managed grant. The work is to be conducted by a partner within the California Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CCESU) framework, with the recipient collaborating directly with BLM resource managers. The core purpose is to assess the prevalence and types of both infectious and non-infectious diseases affecting seabirds, then translate those findings into practical management response options. In other words, the project is not only about collecting and analyzing disease data, but also about helping BLM determine what actions are feasible and effective to mitigate impacts and support seabird conservation outcomes.
The opportunity falls under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management." BLM anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding available was $99,000, with an award ceiling of $99,000 and a stated award floor of $500. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, though voluntary leverage and partner contributions are often viewed as beneficial in collaborative conservation work.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the CESU model that commonly channels applied research and technical assistance through universities and similar academic entities. The opportunity was posted on May 21, 2012, with the application closing date set as June 15, 2012. The announcement was later archived on August 30, 2012, indicating it is no longer open for applications but remains part of the public record.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details at the time, BLM directed users to Grants.gov and provided a point of contact for access issues: Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer (GMO), reachable at 530-252-5338 and via email at lparker@blm.gov.
