Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Environmental DNA for Inventory and Monitoring Aquatic Species" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00194) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is focused on natural resources work in Oregon and Washington and supports projects that use environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling and analysis to improve inventory and monitoring of aquatic species, with an emphasis on conserving rare species. A second, explicit goal is to create hands-on educational opportunities for university students by involving them in field sampling, laboratory processing, data analysis, and related conservation work.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects substantial involvement with the recipient during the project, such as coordination on study design, methods, priorities, reporting, and integration of results into management needs. The opportunity anticipated a single award. The estimated total funding available was $400,000, with an award ceiling of $110,000 and an award floor of $1. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that BLM intended this work to be carried out by universities or similar public academic entities. The program is tied to CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which aligns with the conservation and resource management purpose described in the announcement.
Key dates for the original competition were as follows: it was posted on July 23, 2014, and closed on August 20, 2014, with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date. The opportunity was later archived on July 21, 2015. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting, indicating that detailed technical requirements, deliverables, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions were contained in the full solicitation rather than in the brief synopsis.
