Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Forest and Woodland Ecology, Management and Restoration CESU Humboldt State University opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00218) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant announced on July 26, 2010 and administered as a cooperative agreement under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are partnership networks designed to connect federal agencies with universities and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. In practical terms, this opportunity was set up to fund a collaborative project where BLM and partners would be actively involved alongside the award recipient, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation.
The purpose of the funding centered on three closely related goals tied to California forest and woodland resources. First, it aimed to improve overall understanding of forest and woodland ecosystems, specifically including how different management actions affect those systems. That focus suggests work such as monitoring and evaluating vegetation treatments, studying ecological responses to management (for example, fuels reduction, thinning, restoration, or habitat improvement actions), and translating results into better decision-making for public lands. Second, it sought to build the knowledge, skills, and abilities of student researchers in ecological science through hands-on projects and mentoring with BLM staff and partner specialists. This goal points to a strong workforce-development and training component, where students would participate directly in field and analytical work while receiving professional guidance from agency and partner experts. Third, it aimed to increase public understanding of forest and woodland ecosystems through education and interpretive programs, indicating that public-facing outreach, educational materials, interpretive events, or similar programming could be an important part of the funded work alongside the scientific or technical components.
Financially, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $500, and it anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of receiving the award, although voluntary contributions are sometimes included in proposals depending on project design. The program was categorized under Natural Resources, with CFDA number 15.233 (Forests and Woodlands Resource Management).
Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), with the important qualifier that it was being issued under the CESU program, which typically means the project is intended to be carried out through the CESU partnership framework and consistent with CESU objectives. The original and current closing date for applications was August 13, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on August 31, 2010, indicating it was a time-limited competition.
