Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CA CESU Humboldt State University Forest Ecology Watershed Mgt Rest Arcata FO Continuation" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00028) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding notice focused on sustaining and extending ongoing natural resource work already being carried out with Humboldt State University under an existing Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) agreement. The central purpose is to continue projects operating under agreement L10AC20386, which was set to expire on September 30, 2014, so that the BLM Arcata Field Office can maintain continuity in long-term planning and adaptive management efforts rather than restarting or replacing established work midstream.
At its core, the opportunity supports practical, field-based forest and watershed science tied directly to land management needs on BLM-managed lands in the Arcata Field Office area. The work described emphasizes long-term adaptive management, meaning the projects are intended to help BLM evaluate how well current management actions are working, learn from monitoring results, and adjust future actions accordingly. The scope is broad but clearly centered on forest and woodland ecosystems and watershed management, with tasks that include collecting and analyzing field data, conducting inventory and monitoring, completing vegetation surveys, assessing forest conditions through established field plots, and producing evaluations that can feed into future management decisions.
A major component highlighted in the description is continuation of an internship program for young people. This internship element is positioned as both workforce development and mission support: interns gain hands-on training in applied natural resource management while also contributing to BLM priorities such as reforestation, forest development surveys, and other restoration-related activities. The opportunity notes that intern learning and work can span many topics, including studying forest and woodland systems, examining watersheds, evaluating existing management actions, and helping develop management guidelines for future actions. In addition, the projects can cover on-the-ground implementation planning such as identifying treatments, developing prescriptions, and supporting broader forest management and restoration objectives.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement and collaboration between the federal agency and the recipient during project execution. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA 15.233, "Forests and Woodlands Resource Management." BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The award ceiling is listed as $200,000 and the award floor as $500, indicating the maximum expected size and a minimal lower bound, though the single-award expectation suggests the practical award amount would likely be near the stated total depending on the proposed scope and budget.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the university-based CESU context and the continuation nature of the work. The opportunity was posted on January 29, 2014, with a closing date of March 3, 2014, and it ultimately archived on December 31, 2018. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
