Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM ID Breeding Bird/Burrowing Owl Surveys CESU" (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM ID NOI 09 0854) is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resources work, specifically fish, wildlife, and plant conservation and resource management (CFDA 15.231). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
The purpose of the award is to improve what is known about bird populations within the BLM Shoshone Field Office management area in Idaho, with emphasis on breeding birds and burrowing owls. The project goal is framed around building stronger baseline information and monitoring capacity: identifying where birds are located across the landscape, describing their distribution, and tracking population trends over time. In practice, this kind of work typically supports better land management decisions by helping BLM understand how species are using habitats under its jurisdiction, how those patterns may be changing, and where conservation attention or management adjustments might be needed.
Funding for the opportunity is relatively small and targeted. The estimated total funding is $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and no stated award floor. BLM anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the notice makes clear that the funding is intended to continue an existing project with Boise State University under the CESU framework (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units). That wording signals this was not a broadly competitive call open to all types of organizations; instead, it was aimed at continuing a specific partnership with an academic institution already involved in the work.
Key timing details reflect that this was a 2009 opportunity that has since closed and been archived. It was posted on February 20, 2009, created February 21, 2009, and closed on March 6, 2009 (both the original and current closing dates). The opportunity was archived on April 6, 2009. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed contact for access issues or questions was Melinda D. Ritacco (mritacco@blm.gov / melindaritacco@blm.gov).
