Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Grassland Communities in the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00109) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. It is focused on natural resources work within the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument, with the central purpose of improving ecological understanding of the monument's grassland ecosystems. The project is aimed at building ecologically based descriptions of the full range of grassland types present in the monument, with particular attention to identifying where native grass-dominated areas still persist and what environmental conditions are associated with those patterns.
The core deliverable is essentially a clearer, science-based classification and description of grassland community types in the monument. This includes differentiating among grassland types, mapping or otherwise documenting where these types occur, and determining which sites remain primarily dominated by native grasses versus areas that may be more altered. A major emphasis is linking distribution to environmental factors, which typically includes variables such as elevation, slope, aspect, soils, moisture availability, geology, disturbance history, and other site characteristics that help explain why certain grassland communities occur where they do. The practical intent is to give land managers better information for conservation and restoration decisions by clarifying which grasslands are most intact, how they are distributed across the landscape, and what site conditions support native grass dominance.
Funding for this opportunity is relatively small and targeted. The estimated total funding is $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $1, indicating BLM expected a single, modestly sized award (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for eligible applicants and suggests the project scope was designed to be achievable within a limited budget, potentially as a focused assessment, pilot inventory, or synthesis effort rather than a large multi-year field program.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That points to BLM's interest in partnering with universities or similar public academic entities that can provide ecological expertise, field and analytical capacity, and credible scientific products that support management. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, it also implies a more collaborative relationship where BLM may anticipate substantial involvement in the project, such as coordination on methods, data standards, site access, or alignment with monument management needs.
The opportunity was posted and created on May 24, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2011, indicating a short application window of a little over two weeks. The opportunity was archived on May 24, 2012. Administrative and general posting details direct applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and instructions. The listed point of contact for assistance accessing the announcement is Teresa Spickerman in the BLM Grants Management Office (503-808-6243, teresaespickerman@blm.gov).
