Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM Idaho Effects of Spring Grazing on Sage Grouse" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00055) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources research and management in Idaho. The core purpose of the project was to quantify and evaluate how spring cattle grazing influences several connected outcomes: the demographic traits of greater sage-grouse (such as measures tied to population performance), the amount and arrangement of fuel loads on the landscape, and subsequent wildfire behavior. In practical terms, the BLM was seeking a scientifically grounded assessment of whether and how spring grazing alters habitat conditions and fire dynamics in ways that could either support or harm sage-grouse conservation objectives.
This opportunity was offered as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a collaborative relationship in which the agency expects to be substantially involved during the performance of the work. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of up to $1,200,000, matching the award ceiling of $1,200,000. There was no stated award floor, meaning proposals could potentially request less than the ceiling depending on the scope. The program fell under CFDA 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management," aligning it with applied conservation and resource management goals rather than purely academic research.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity as long as it met any conditions described in the full announcement. Importantly, there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal match to be considered. The opportunity was posted on March 23, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 22, 2015, and it was later archived on June 22, 2015. Applicants needing the full instructions were directed to obtain the complete announcement and application package through the "application" tab referenced in the listing.
For administrative and access questions, the listed point of contact was Christine Shaver, Grants Management Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at (208) 373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov. The summary objective remained consistent throughout the listing: to generate defensible, quantitative information linking spring cattle grazing practices to sage-grouse population-related traits, changes in vegetative fuels, and patterns of wildfire behavior, supporting BLM decision-making on grazing management and sagebrush ecosystem conservation.
