Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Locating and monitoring Golden Eagle Breeding Areas in Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00013) was a discretionary funding announcement offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. It was designed to support work in Oregon focused on improving what is known about golden eagle breeding populations, specifically because federal guidance and prior rulemaking recognized that recent, reliable monitoring data for the species were limited across much of its range.
At the core of the project is implementation of guidance tied to two major federal wildlife protection laws: the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA). The announcement cites the Federal Register notice from September 11, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 175) as a key reference point, emphasizing that the federal government had identified a gap in up-to-date monitoring information for golden eagles. This project was framed as a practical response to that gap by collecting foundational data that agencies and partners could use to support long-term conservation and compliance efforts.
The main goal was to generate baseline information needed to start evaluating long-term trends in Oregon's breeding golden eagle population. In practical terms, that means locating and monitoring breeding areas and documenting characteristics of the nesting population. The opportunity specifically calls out three types of information to be gathered: the size of the nesting population, the distribution of nesting sites across Oregon, and productivity at those sites (generally referring to breeding success measures such as whether nests are active and how many young are produced). The intent is that these baseline measurements would allow future comparisons over time, which is essential for detecting population increases or declines and for informing management decisions.
Funding was relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000 and an award ceiling of $70,000, indicating BLM expected to make a single award at or near that amount (Expected Awards: 1). The award floor was listed as $1, which is a standard administrative minimum rather than a realistic project size. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was listed as "Unrestricted," meaning the competition was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The posting date and creation date were both January 18, 2011. The original and current closing date was February 15, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on January 18, 2012, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition tied to a specific funding cycle.
