Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM- CO Southwest District Human Impact Monitoring Research" (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00155). The project focuses on natural resources and is intended to improve understanding of the physical impacts that result from recreation on public lands within the BLM Colorado Southwest District. The central purpose is to generate and compile data that can feed into an ongoing or future monitoring system, building on baseline information that has already been collected in certain areas. In practical terms, the work is meant to help land managers move from one-time observations to a structured, repeatable approach for tracking recreation-related impacts over time.
The study is framed as a piece of related research supporting broader investigations into how recreation use interacts with resource protection. That implies a management-oriented research effort: documenting where and how recreation is affecting soils, vegetation, trails, sites, or other physical resources, and producing information that can be used to understand tradeoffs and guide decisions about sustainable access, mitigation, and protection measures. The results are expected to help BLM identify patterns of impact, establish measurable indicators, and support comparisons against existing baseline conditions in locations where that groundwork has already been laid.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating on study design, data standards, field priorities, and how findings will be applied to monitoring and management). The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $100,000, with BLM expecting to make one award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full notice.
Key administrative details include the program area (Natural Resources), CFDA numbers 15.225, and the posting and creation date of June 3, 2016. The application deadline was August 1, 2016 (original and current closing dates were the same). Overall, the opportunity was aimed at producing actionable monitoring data and research insight that strengthens BLM's ability to manage recreation impacts while protecting resources across the Colorado Southwest District.
