Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CA CESU Utah State University Aquatic Riparian Effect Mont Pilot Proj" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00150) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement for a cooperative agreement focused on natural resource monitoring and management. The project centers on building a quantitatively driven monitoring framework to measure, establish, and track the condition and long-term trends of aquatic and riparian resources. In practical terms, the funded work is meant to generate defensible, repeatable monitoring information that managers can use to judge whether streams, wetlands, and associated riparian zones are meeting established management objectives over time.
A key feature of the project is that it is not simply proposing site-by-site inspections, but rather a monitoring design that can support broader inference. Specifically, the project will test a sample design intended to allow data collected at selected monitoring locations to be extrapolated to the scale of an entire grazing allotment. At the same time, it preserves the ability to continue targeted evaluations in known problem areas or areas of concern. This combination aims to balance statistically representative monitoring (for allotment-wide condition and trend reporting) with focused monitoring where specific resource issues have already been identified and require closer attention.
The work is described as a phased, multi-year pilot implementation. That phased approach is meant to allow the monitoring system to be tested and refined before full-scale rollout. Elements expected to be evaluated during implementation include whether the sampling design and any proposed stratifications work as intended, whether the selected indicators and measurement protocols are appropriate and feasible, and whether logistical constraints such as access limitations or seasonal restrictions affect fieldwork. The project also explicitly anticipates assessing training requirements and skill needs for field personnel, recognizing that consistent data quality over time depends on standardized methods and a workforce capable of applying them reliably.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, BLM anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, with the award ceiling and floor both listed as $500,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordination, technical input, or joint project execution compared with a standard grant. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the project is positioned for implementation through an academic partner, consistent with the title referencing Utah State University and the CESU framework.
The opportunity was posted on July 3, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 31, 2012, and it was later archived on October 31, 2016. Additional details were available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for assistance was Leona B. Parker (Grants Management Officer) at BLM, reachable by phone at 530-252-5338 or by email at lparker@blm.gov.

Based on the opportunity description, a cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in coordination, technical input, or joint project execution compared with a standard grant.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The project focuses on building a quantitatively driven monitoring framework to measure, establish, and track the condition and long-term trends of aquatic and riparian resources, producing defensible and repeatable monitoring information for management decisions.
What natural resources are specifically emphasized?
The project emphasizes aquatic and riparian resources, including streams, wetlands, and associated riparian zones.
What management need is this work intended to support?
The work is intended to help managers determine whether streams, wetlands, and riparian zones are meeting established management objectives over time using consistent, repeatable monitoring information.
Is the monitoring approach limited to site-by-site inspections?
No. The project is described as developing a monitoring design that supports broader inference rather than only site-by-site inspections.
What is the key monitoring design concept being tested?
The project will test a sample design intended to allow data collected at selected monitoring locations to be extrapolated to the scale of an entire grazing allotment.
Will the project still allow monitoring in known problem areas?
Yes. While supporting allotment-wide inference, the approach is also meant to preserve the ability to continue targeted evaluations in known problem areas or areas of concern.
How does the project balance statistically representative monitoring with targeted monitoring?
It combines a sample design for allotment-wide condition and trend reporting with the ability to conduct focused monitoring where specific issues have already been identified and require closer attention.
Is this a one-time effort or a multi-year project?
It is described as a phased, multi-year pilot implementation.
Why is the work structured as a phased pilot?
The phased approach is intended to allow the monitoring system to be tested and refined before full-scale rollout.
What types of elements are expected to be evaluated during implementation?
The opportunity anticipates evaluating whether the sampling design and any proposed stratifications work as intended, whether selected indicators and measurement protocols are appropriate and feasible, and whether logistical constraints affect fieldwork.
What kinds of logistical constraints might affect fieldwork?
