Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Drought Hardiness Study (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00223) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management). It was designed to support a research effort focused on Douglas fir reforestation in western Oregon, specifically examining how well selected high-performing, or "elite," family lines from established Douglas fir breeding units tolerate drought stress and how their growth performs over time under those conditions.
At its core, the project aims to generate practical, field-relevant data on drought hardiness in Douglas fir families that have already been identified through breeding programs as promising planting stock. By monitoring survival and growth over time, the study would help clarify which genetic families are more resilient when water becomes limited, which is increasingly important as drought frequency and intensity rise. The larger intended outcome is to improve the quality and reliability of reforestation materials placed on the landscape, meaning land managers would be better equipped to choose planting stock that is more likely to establish successfully and maintain productivity under changing climate conditions.
The opportunity explicitly ties the value of the data to broader climate adaptation work, including assisted migration research and planning for global warming impacts. In practice, that means the information produced would not only inform near-term reforestation decisions, but also strengthen scientific and management approaches that consider moving seed sources or selecting genetics better suited to future climate realities. Because Douglas fir is a foundational species for many western Oregon forests, findings from elite family performance under drought can influence long-term forest health, restoration success, and timber and habitat objectives across large areas.
The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Estimated total funding for the opportunity was listed as $350,000, with an award ceiling of $99,810 and an award floor of $1. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement.
Key dates show it was posted on August 23, 2013, with an application deadline of September 6, 2013, and it was later archived on August 22, 2014. For applicants needing help accessing the full application package, the listed point of contact was Sheryl Dowley, Grants Management Specialist, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov, with instructions to use the application materials linked through the announcement (via the APPLICATION tab referenced in the notice).
FAQs: BLM OR WA Drought Hardiness Study (L13AS00223)
What is the BLM OR WA Drought Hardiness Study grant opportunity?
The BLM OR WA Drought Hardiness Study (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00223) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area. It supports a research effort focused on Douglas fir reforestation in western Oregon, with an emphasis on drought tolerance and growth performance over time.
Which agency is offering this funding?
The opportunity is offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
What type of award is this?
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement.
What is the program or funding activity area associated with this opportunity?
The funding activity area is Natural Resources, listed under CFDA 15.233 (Forests and Woodlands Resource Management).
What is the main purpose of the project described in the announcement?
The project is designed to generate practical, field-relevant data on drought hardiness in Douglas fir families that have already been identified through breeding programs as high-performing ("elite") planting stock. The study focuses on how well selected elite family lines tolerate drought stress and how their growth performs over time under drought conditions.
What species is the research focused on?
The research is focused on Douglas fir.
What geographic area is the study focused on?
The effort is specifically focused on Douglas fir reforestation in western Oregon.
What are "elite" family lines in the context of this opportunity?
Within this announcement, "elite" family lines refer to selected high-performing Douglas fir family lines from established Douglas fir breeding units that have been identified through breeding programs as promising planting stock.
What kinds of outcomes is this project expected to produce?
The intended outcomes include improved understanding of which Douglas fir genetic families are more resilient when water becomes limited, and improved ability for land managers to choose reforestation planting stock that is more likely to establish successfully and maintain productivity under changing climate conditions.
How does this opportunity relate to climate adaptation work?
The announcement ties the value of the drought hardiness data to broader climate adaptation work, including assisted migration research and planning for global warming impacts. The information is intended to support both near-term reforestation decisions and longer-term scientific and management approaches for future climate realities.
