Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA CESU Fire Regimes, Forest Change and Restoration of Forested Plant Associations in the Middle Applegate Watershed, Medford District, Oregon" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding announcement focused on applied research to support forest and watershed restoration planning in southwestern Oregon. The central purpose is to strengthen the scientific and historical knowledge base that land managers use when designing and prioritizing restoration treatments in the Middle Applegate Watershed, an area managed through the BLM Medford District. Although the work is anchored in a specific watershed, the results are intended to be broadly useful across similar dry mixed-conifer forest types throughout southern Oregon, especially where managers are grappling with altered fire regimes, shifting forest structure, and the growing pressures of climate change.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to be carried out in close coordination with BLM rather than as a hands-off grant. The research emphasis, reflected in the title and program category, is on understanding fire regimes, documenting forest change over time, and using that information to guide the restoration of forested plant associations. In practice, this points to work that helps answer questions like how historical fire frequency and severity shaped these forests, how vegetation composition and stand structure have changed under fire suppression or other influences, and what restoration strategies are most likely to re-establish ecological function and improve resilience. A key theme is ensuring that restoration activities meet present-day ecological needs while also preparing forests to better withstand future conditions, including warmer temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and potentially more intense or frequent wildfire.
The program sits under CFDA 15.232, the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program, which signals that the work is intended to inform fire and fuels management as well as broader ecosystem objectives. The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. The award ceiling is also $60,000, with no stated award floor, and the notice specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing the financial burden on the applicant institution. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the CESU context and the cooperative research model often used for land management science.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number L11AS00114 and a posting date of May 31, 2011, with an application closing date of June 17, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on May 30, 2012. Applicants were directed to access the full announcement and application package through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 503-808-6243 or by email at teresaspickerman@blm.gov. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, management-relevant research investment meant to translate historical and ecological understanding of fire and forest dynamics into better restoration decisions in the Middle Applegate Watershed and similar forests across the region.
