Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Climate Change Decision Support Model" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00226) is a discretionary grant in the Natural Resources category aimed at expanding an existing climate change decision support model into Oregon. The core purpose is to support development and adaptation of a spatially explicit decision support tool that helps resource managers evaluate how different climate change models, scenarios, and underlying assumptions could change the future geographic distribution and habitat suitability of mammal species across Oregon. In practical terms, the tool is intended to translate climate projections into mapped, decision-ready information so land and wildlife managers can better anticipate where species habitats may shift under different climate futures and incorporate that information into planning and management choices.
The grant builds directly on a model that has already been developed and is currently being used in Washington State, where it has been supported by state partners as well as federal land and resource agencies including the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service. This Oregon-focused effort is framed as an extension of that proven framework rather than a brand-new concept, suggesting the work will likely involve adapting datasets, calibrating the model to Oregon conditions, and producing outputs that are usable by managers working on Oregon landscapes. The emphasis on being "spatially explicit" signals that the deliverables are expected to include geospatial components such as maps, GIS layers, or other geographically referenced outputs that can be integrated into resource management workflows.
BLM anticipates making a single award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The award ceiling is $25,000 and the award floor is listed as $1, indicating the agency has set a maximum but retains flexibility on the final award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive under the stated terms. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), but the notice clarifies an expectation that the award will be made to a college or university that already has ongoing work related to climate change decision support models. That phrasing strongly implies the intended recipient is an academic institution with established expertise and active research capacity in climate decision-support modeling, particularly with experience relevant to the existing Washington model or similar habitat and climate impact modeling approaches.
Key dates provided in the listing include a posted date of July 28, 2010, and an application closing date of August 18, 2010 (both original and current closing dates match). The opportunity was archived on July 28, 2011. Applicants seeking full announcement details were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions is Pamella Sterling, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 503-808-6221 or by email at pamsterling@blm.gov.
In summary, this is a small, targeted BLM grant intended to extend an operational Washington State climate change habitat decision support model into Oregon, producing a spatial tool that helps managers compare how alternative climate projections and assumptions could affect mammal habitat distributions over time, with one expected award of up to $25,000 and a strong preference for a university-based team already active in this technical area.
