Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CO EFFECTS OF FUELS REDUCTION TREATMENTS ON PINON JUNIPER WOODLAND BIRDS IN THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY, COLORADO" was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding announcement focused on natural resource management and wildlife monitoring in Colorado. The core purpose of the project was to collect and compare field data on bird communities that use pinon-juniper woodlands in the Arkansas River Valley, specifically within the BLM Royal Gorge Field Office area. The work was designed to evaluate whether fuels reduction activities, particularly mechanical treatments intended to modify vegetation structure and reduce wildfire risk, have changed bird community composition or other indicators of bird use when compared with untreated woodland sites.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expected to be substantially involved in the project through coordination, guidance, or shared responsibilities rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the listing fell under CFDA (now commonly referred to as assistance listings) number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The project emphasis was applied ecological monitoring: establishing or using comparable treated versus untreated study areas, surveying bird communities in each, and generating results that could help BLM understand the ecological outcomes of vegetation manipulation projects in pinon-juniper systems.
In terms of funding, the announcement anticipated a total of $40,000 available, with an expected award amount consistent with that total. The award ceiling was $40,000 and the floor was $10,000, indicating proposals could potentially be considered for smaller budgets depending on scope. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to a wide range of applicant types (such as universities, nonprofits, governments, or other entities), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been contained in the full announcement.
The timeline for the competition was short and clearly defined. The opportunity was posted and created on June 11, 2012, and the original and current closing date were both June 25, 2012. The announcement was later archived on August 10, 2012. Applicants were directed to retrieve full instructions from the application materials associated with the announcement, and the listed point of contact for access issues and grants management questions was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, reachable at ypier@blm.gov.
Overall, the project goal was straightforward: provide BLM with defensible field evidence about how mechanical fuels reduction treatments in pinon-juniper woodlands may be influencing local bird communities. The results would be relevant to both fuels management planning and wildlife conservation because changes in woodland structure from mechanical treatments can alter habitat conditions that different bird species rely on, and BLM needed monitoring data from the Royal Gorge Field Office region to inform future management decisions.
