Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon/Washington office posted a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity to support the compilation and publication of an updated book: Field Guide to the Terrestrial Mollusks of the Pacific Northwest. The work is centered in the BLM Oregon State Office in Portland, Oregon, and focuses on producing a practical, publishable field guide that helps with identification and understanding of terrestrial mollusk species in the region. The guide is expected to include identification keys, photographs, and species information, making it useful for field staff, resource managers, researchers, and others involved in natural resource and conservation work.
The project scope is largely editorial and production-focused rather than field sampling. The recipient would be responsible for overseeing and directing day-to-day operations needed to move the updated guide from compiled content to a finished, distributed publication. The announcement breaks this down into concrete publishing tasks, including editing; design and production; prepress work on photographs (such as preparing images for print quality reproduction); printing and binding; and distribution. In other words, the award supports end-to-end project coordination and execution across the full publishing workflow, ensuring the content is accurate, well-organized, visually clear, and physically produced and delivered to intended audiences.
This funding opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, indicating BLM anticipated active involvement or collaboration during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency interaction. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), reflecting the guide's role in supporting conservation and land management decisions through improved species identification and reference materials.
Funding was modest and targeted: the estimated total funding was $30,000, with an award ceiling of $30,000 and an award floor of $1. Only one award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the selected applicant would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which suggests the project was intended to be carried out through a university or similar public academic entity, potentially leveraging faculty expertise, museum or herbarium-style collections management experience, scientific editing capacity, and established publication support resources.
Key dates show it was a short-fuse solicitation. The opportunity was posted on September 1, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 12, 2011. The record was later archived on September 3, 2012. For applicants needing the full set of instructions and forms, the notice directed them to the application materials available through the announcement, and it provided a point of contact: Teresa E. Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 503-808-6243 or teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
