Opportunity Summary:

The BLM CA CCS Point Blue Joint Venture (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00106) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support bird conservation work on BLM-managed lands in California. The core purpose is to collaborate with Point Blue Conservation Science (formerly PRBO Conservation Science) to protect, conserve, and restore sensitive bird populations and the habitats they rely on. The project focus aligns with BLMs broader mission for avian conservation and emphasizes applying science-based management to improve outcomes for priority species and ecosystems.

The opportunity centers on leveraging Point Blues established expertise across a wide range of California habitat types, including riparian areas, chaparral, oak woodland, coastal systems, desert environments, wetlands, and montane habitats. The partnership is intended to help BLM plan and implement conservation management actions informed by field experience, monitoring, and ecological research. A notable feature is the inclusion of computer modeling support, which would be used to guide BLM decision-making and help adapt management strategies as bird populations shift in response to climate change. In practical terms, this implies using predictive or scenario-based tools to anticipate where habitat conditions may improve or degrade over time and how management can be adjusted to maintain or enhance habitat suitability.

Administratively, the award falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.238, identified as Challenge Cost Share, which signals a cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling is $50,000 and the floor is $500, meaning proposals could range widely in size but could not exceed the stated maximum for this opportunity.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS and are not institutions of higher education. The posting date and creation date were June 18, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2013. The opportunity was later archived on October 1, 2017, indicating it is no longer open, but the record remains available for reference. Additional details were provided through Grants.gov, and the contact listed for access issues with the full announcement was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
