Opportunity Summary:
The "BLM OR WA Columbia Basin Greater Sage-grouse Distinct Population Segment (DPS) Recovery" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00226) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work that supports recovery efforts for the Columbia Basin population of Greater Sage-grouse. The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to stay actively involved in the project through coordination, oversight, or substantial participation rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding is framed as part of a broader, interagency conservation push tied to the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Sage Grouse Initiative, with the BLM describing this as its first participation in that larger effort.
The announcement is presented as a Request for Applications intended to gather input and participation from a wide range of wildlife conservation organizations. Even though the BLM states that Pheasants Forever is slated to receive this initial BLM support, the agency still encourages other interested organizations to reach out to program staff and get involved in the initiative. In practical terms, the BLM is using this opportunity to strengthen partnerships and expand coordinated conservation delivery, while also connecting BLM support with additional federal funding streams, including funds from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The stated emphasis is on building capacity in three key areas: field delivery (on-the-ground implementation), scientific knowledge (data, monitoring, or research that informs management), and communications capacity (outreach, coordination, and information-sharing that help the initiative function effectively).
The opportunity was posted on July 21, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2014, and it was archived on July 20, 2015. The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $350,000, with an award ceiling of $45,000 and an award floor of $1. The expected number of awards is 1, aligning with the statement that Pheasants Forever would be the initial recipient for this specific BLM support. No cost sharing or matching is required. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications in the full announcement, which indicates that the formal application package and instructions would control any details or limitations not fully captured in the summary listing.
Administratively, the program is associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The BLM provides an additional information link directing applicants to download full instructions and the application package from the announcement page. For questions or difficulties accessing the materials, the listed point of contact is Jessica Clark at 503-808-6226 or j1clark@blm.gov.
