Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Density Management Study (DMS), Vegetation Measurement and Analysis, Western Oregon grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00019) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding solicitation designed to support field data collection and analytical work tied to forest stand treatments in western Oregon. The core purpose was practical and management-oriented: gather vegetation and stand data and analyze how different thinning approaches and the deliberate use of leave gaps affect forest development over time, with the intent of improving how future timber and young-stand management decisions are made on BLM-managed lands.
The work emphasized learning how to manage young forest stands so they can develop and sustain late-successional forest characteristics, which generally refers to structural and compositional traits associated with older, more complex forests. In this context, the project focus suggests measuring and interpreting how density management treatments (for example, alternative thinning intensities, patterns, and retention strategies, including leaving unthinned patches or gaps) influence vegetation response, stand structure, and conditions that may be linked to long-term habitat complexity and resilience. While the announcement summary is brief, it clearly frames the grant as supporting vegetation measurement and analysis that can feed back into operational forestry and longer-term planning, rather than being purely academic research.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the agency expected substantial involvement during the project period (such as coordination on methods, study sites, reporting, or integration with ongoing BLM monitoring and management activities). The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources activity category and was associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management. Only one award was anticipated, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was $50,000 and the award floor was listed as $1, signaling that the agency could fund up to the full amount for a single selected project. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants who may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any applicant type, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The posting and creation date were February 3, 2011, and the closing date was February 28, 2011, with the opportunity later archived on April 4, 2011. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Teresa E. Spickerman, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 503-808-6243 or teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the BLM OR WA Density Management Study (DMS), Vegetation Measurement and Analysis, Western Oregon opportunity?
It is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding solicitation that supported field data collection and analytical work tied to forest stand treatments in western Oregon. The emphasis was on collecting vegetation and stand measurements and analyzing how forest treatments influence forest development over time on BLM-managed lands.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON) for this grant?
The Funding Opportunity Number is L11AS00019.
What was the main purpose of the funding?
The core purpose was practical and management-oriented: to gather vegetation and stand data and analyze how different thinning approaches and the deliberate use of leave gaps affect forest development over time, with the goal of improving future timber and young-stand management decisions on BLM-managed lands.
What kinds of activities did the opportunity support?
The opportunity supported vegetation measurement and analysis connected to density management treatments in young forest stands, including field data collection and analytical work intended to inform operational forestry and longer-term planning.
What management questions was the project meant to help answer?
Based on the summary, the work was aimed at understanding how different thinning intensities, patterns, and retention strategies (including leaving unthinned patches or gaps) influence vegetation response and stand structure, and how those outcomes relate to developing late-successional forest characteristics over time.
What are "density management treatments" in the context of this opportunity?
In this context, density management treatments refer to approaches such as alternative thinning intensities and patterns, retention strategies, and the deliberate use of leave gaps or unthinned patches. The grant focus was on measuring and interpreting how these treatment choices influence stand development.
What does "leave gaps" mean as described in the opportunity?
"Leave gaps" refers to deliberate areas where thinning is not applied (or is applied differently), such as unthinned patches or openings, used as part of a treatment design. The opportunity emphasized analyzing how these gaps affect forest development over time.
Was the work intended to be academic research or applied management work?
