Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Nevada (DOI-BLM) cooperative agreement intended to support a focused natural resources study on the Relict Leopard Frog, with particular attention to the role and effects of chytrid fungus. The project is being issued through the Nevada Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework and is associated with BLM's Southern Nevada District and the Nevada Creeks and Communities Team. In practical terms, it is a research partnership solicitation where BLM is looking to work collaboratively with a recipient rather than simply purchasing a service through a standard contract.
The central purpose is to complete a study that helps BLM meet obligations and priorities laid out in two key guiding documents: a Conservation Agreement and a range-wide Conservation Assessment and Strategy for the Relict Leopard Frog. While the notice text is brief, the title and description make clear that the work should address chytrid fungus, a well-known amphibian pathogen (often associated with population declines in frogs and other amphibians), and examine how it affects this specific frog species within the relevant management area. The results are meant to inform conservation decision-making and contribute to coordinated, range-wide management actions for the species, consistent with the referenced agreement and strategy.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as a discretionary grant opportunity with Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00101. It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, signaling substantial involvement by the federal agency in project oversight, coordination, or collaboration during the period of performance. The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA numbers 15.231 (and another listed as 15.231 again in the source data). The program is open to unrestricted eligible applicants, meaning that any type of entity may apply as long as they meet any additional eligibility conditions that might be described elsewhere in the full announcement or related CESU requirements.
The anticipated funding level is up to 100,000 dollars (award ceiling) for a single award, with BLM expecting to make one award total. The opportunity was posted on May 3, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of July 3, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates matching). Overall, it is a targeted, single-award research collaboration aimed at generating actionable data on chytrid fungus impacts to the Relict Leopard Frog to support compliance and implementation of established conservation planning documents in southern Nevada.
