Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Eastern Oregon Restoration and Planning Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00290) is a Bureau of Land Management cooperative agreement focused on advancing strategic natural resource priorities across Eastern Oregon, with a strong emphasis on sage grouse planning and conservation. The core idea is to build a working partnership that helps public and private land managers better understand practical management options and identify adaptive management approaches that can be applied across the landscape. In plain terms, the opportunity is meant to support coordinated planning and on-the-ground decision support so that management actions in Eastern Oregon are informed by the best available ecological information and are aligned with shared conservation goals.
A major expected outcome of the partnership is the delivery of information and technical assistance related to BLM lands that have exceptional ecological importance. This includes places that contain rare or unusual plant and animal communities, as well as habitats for species that are federally listed as endangered or threatened, proposed for listing, or considered candidate species, along with species listed at the state level. The project is structured to help partners and BLM evaluate what is present on the landscape, what conditions are changing, and what management responses are most likely to protect or improve key habitats and ecological values over time.
The announcement also makes clear that BLM intends to work directly with partners to identify and evaluate priority areas, develop management and monitoring recommendations, and support review of natural resource management plans. Another prominent component is the monitoring and assessment of existing and potential Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs), along with other BLM-managed lands that have high natural values. This means the partnership is not only about producing reports, but also about helping guide how sensitive or high-value areas are identified, managed, and tracked for ecological condition, so that management decisions can be adjusted as new information comes in.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Natural Resources activity category, offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement by BLM staff in coordinating, guiding, or collaborating on project activities rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. The opportunity anticipated one award. The estimated total funding amount listed is $300,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $25,000 as stated in the notice. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be provided in the full announcement.
Key dates in the posted notice show it was posted and created on Aug 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of Sep 10, 2012, and an archive date of Aug 29, 2013. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Jessica Clark at 503-808-6226 or j1clark@blm.gov, and applicants were directed to download complete instructions and the application package through the announcement’s application materials.
