Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Ecological Status Monitoring of Research Natural Areas" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00124) is a discretionary funding program offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The main goal of the project is to create a standardized, baseline ecological status monitoring effort focused on key habitat elements in three specific Research Natural Areas (RNAs) managed within the BLM Burns District in Oregon: Dry Mountain, Silver Creek, and Foster Flat. In practical terms, the work is meant to document current ecological conditions in a consistent way so that future changes in habitat condition and ecosystem health can be tracked and compared over time using the same methods.

The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance rather than simply issuing funds and receiving a final report. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $18,630. The ceiling for the award is also $18,630, while the award floor is listed as $1. Importantly, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to essentially any type of applicant entity, as long as they meet any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement. The listing is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.236, "Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management," which signals the project fits within federal efforts to manage and protect natural resources and environmental quality on public lands.

The posting date and creation date are both June 14, 2012, and the closing date was June 19, 2012, reflecting a short application window. The opportunity was later archived on June 13, 2013. Applicants were directed to download the complete instructions and application package through the "APPLICATION" tab in the full announcement, indicating that details like required work products, reporting expectations, technical methods, and submission requirements were contained in the official application materials rather than the summary listing.

For support accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Pamella Sterling at BLM, reachable by phone at 503-808-6221 or by email at psterlin@blm.gov.
