Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Breeding Bird/Burrowing Owl Surveys 2010 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 10 0854) was a discretionary Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management funding notice intended to support field surveys that improve what is known about birds within the BLM Shoshone Field Office management area in Idaho. The core purpose of the project was to increase knowledge about the location, distribution, and population trends of local bird populations, with a clear emphasis on breeding birds and burrowing owls. In practical terms, the grant supported work that would help BLM managers better understand where key species occur, how widely they are distributed across the landscape, and whether populations appear to be stable, increasing, or declining over time, which is information commonly used to guide conservation actions and land-use decisions.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, indicating that BLM anticipated substantial involvement or collaboration with the recipient rather than a hands-off grant. The notice anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000, and the stated award ceiling was also $45,000 (with an award floor of $0). There was no cost share or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited and specific. The announcement stated that the funding was intended for continuation of an existing project with Boise State University under the CESU framework (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units). As a result, eligible applicants were identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, with Boise State University noted as the continuation partner for this effort. The associated CFDA number was 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, aligning the work with federal conservation and resource management objectives.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and clearly defined. It was posted and created on December 1, 2009, and it closed on December 18, 2009, with the archive date listed as January 17, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for assistance was Melinda D. Ritacco (mritacco@blm.gov; melindaritacco@blm.gov), particularly for anyone who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
