Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00138) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on conservation and recovery work for the endangered San Joaquin kit fox, specifically within the Carrizo Plain National Monument (CPNM) in California. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a pass-through award. The effort is tied to the Endangered Species Recovery Program and is supported with MLR funds, and it is positioned within the broader federal mission of fish, wildlife, and plant conservation resource management (CFDA 15.231).
The core purpose of the project is to partner with the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) network through California State University, Stanislaus, to support kit fox conservation on the Carrizo Plain. The announcement highlights CPNM as the largest of the three core areas identified in the San Joaquin kit fox recovery plan. Because habitat on the monument is described as the least degraded and least fragmented among the core areas, the kit fox population there is treated as a key reference point. In practical terms, the demographic and ecological characteristics measured in the Carrizo population can serve as a benchmark or standard for evaluating the condition, trends, and limiting factors affecting kit fox populations in the other core recovery areas. The underlying conservation logic is that by understanding how the species performs in its strongest remaining habitat, managers and scientists can better diagnose what is missing or failing elsewhere and refine recovery strategies accordingly.
Funding is relatively targeted and modest in scale, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and a stated award ceiling of $100,000 (with an award floor of $500). The BLM anticipated making a single award under this opportunity. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for eligible institutions and suggests the agency intended the award to directly support the research and monitoring work without requiring non-federal contributions.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the stated intent to work through CSU Stanislaus and the CESU partnership model. The opportunity was posted and created on June 13, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 9, 2014, and it was later archived on December 30, 2018. The activity category is natural resources, consistent with field-based wildlife conservation, population assessment, habitat evaluation, and applied ecological research commonly associated with endangered species recovery programs.
For applicants or interested parties who needed assistance accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Leona B.
