Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Nutritional and Chemical Quality of Winter Diets of Sage Grouse opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID RFA 09 0834) is a Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior discretionary funding call focused on sage-grouse winter ecology and habitat use. The central purpose is to determine which nutritional and chemical characteristics of available winter forage are driving where sage-grouse choose to spend the winter and what they choose to eat during that period. In practical terms, the project is meant to connect winter habitat selection to measurable forage quality factors, such as nutrient content and plant chemical compounds that may influence palatability, digestion, or toxicity.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, reflecting that BLM likely expects close coordination with the recipient during the work (for example, collaboration on study design, data collection priorities, field access, and application of findings to management). The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $14,000 and an award ceiling of $14,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Eligibility is limited and described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with the eligibility information indicating CESUs (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units). That typically means the project is intended for entities participating in the CESU network, such as partner universities and affiliated organizations operating under CESU agreements, rather than open competition to all applicant types.
Key logistics and timing are straightforward: the opportunity was posted and created on March 10, 2009, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2009, and an archive date of April 20, 2009. The CFDA program number tied to the funding is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). Additional details and full announcement materials were available through Grants.gov (listed link: www.grants.gov). For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact provided is Christine K. Shaver at cshaver@blm.gov (also listed as christineshaver@blm.gov).
