Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Eastern Oregon Sage grouse Inventory" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00160) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on natural resource conservation work in eastern Oregon. The project centers on gathering key wildlife data for sage-grouse, with an emphasis on aerial lek inventories and broader population and habitat surveys. A lek is the seasonal gathering area where male sage-grouse perform mating displays, and counting birds at these sites is one of the most common ways agencies track population trends over time. The intent of the opportunity is to support coordinated monitoring so land managers can better understand sage-grouse status, habitat conditions, and changes occurring across the landscape.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expects to be actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. Under this arrangement, BLM will partner with the selected recipient to plan and carry out surveys, including aerial efforts to locate and count birds at lek sites and additional field or remote surveys that evaluate habitat and other population indicators. Importantly, BLM funding is specifically tied to the portion of survey work that occurs on BLM-managed lands, within survey areas jointly designated by BLM and the recipient. This implies coordination on where, when, and how the surveys will be conducted, with clear boundaries for what work BLM will pay for versus what may occur on other land ownerships.
Only state governments are listed as eligible applicants, and BLM anticipated making a single award. The total estimated funding available for the opportunity was $50,000, with an award ceiling listed at $250,000 and an award floor of $1, indicating flexibility in award sizing even though the expected total funding for that cycle was modest. No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although cooperative projects often still involve in-kind support or partner contributions as part of implementation.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted July 14, 2010, with a closing date of July 28, 2010, and it was later archived on July 14, 2011. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Pamella Sterling, Grant Management Officer, at 503-808-6221 or pamsterling@blm.gov, and the public listing referenced Grants.gov for the complete announcement materials and application instructions.
