Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CA CESU StormPetrel and Alcid Colony Surveys" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00096) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resource conservation work involving seabirds on National Monument islands. The purpose is to provide BLM resource managers with solid, management-ready information about where certain storm-petrel and alcid species occur, how large their populations are, what threats they are facing, and what practical management actions could reduce those threats and help restore or improve populations over time. The target species list includes Ashy, Black, Fork-tailed, and Leach's Storm-Petrels, along with Xantus's Murrelet, Cassin's Auklet, and Rhinoceros Auklet.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expects to be more involved than in a typical grant and to work collaboratively with the recipient as the project is carried out. The opportunity anticipates making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $99,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. The award floor is stated as $500, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible.
This opportunity is issued under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program, specifically the Californian CESU framework. CESUs are partnership networks designed to connect federal agencies with research and technical expertise, often through universities and other partner organizations, to deliver applied science, monitoring, and decision support. Eligibility is restricted to partners of the Californian CESU (CCESU), reflecting an amendment that changed the wording away from limiting eligibility solely to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and instead focusing on the CCESU partner network. The opportunity also notes that indirect costs must be based on a negotiated indirect cost rate and cannot exceed 17.5 percent (NTE 17.5%), consistent with the CESU terms and the referenced cooperative and joint venture agreement.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). It was posted on May 16, 2012, with a closing date of June 15, 2012, and it was later archived on December 30, 2013. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Leona B.
