Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Northwest Lichens, Medford District, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00160) is a discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. Its core purpose is to support work focused on lichenology in the Pacific Northwest, specifically connected to BLM lands and priorities in the Medford District area of Oregon. The project is designed to strengthen the scientific foundation and practical management knowledge around lichens by gathering, organizing, and sharing existing and newly developed information in ways that are useful to land managers, specialists, and the broader public.
The scope of work emphasizes compiling and disseminating scientific information about lichens, which suggests a strong literature-and-data synthesis component as well as potential support for managing and updating records relevant to BLM resource management. In addition to synthesizing information, the project calls for producing assessments and educational materials. That combination points to deliverables that translate technical lichen knowledge into formats that help with planning, conservation decision-making, and public understanding. The announcement also highlights facilitation of education and training, field trips, and inventories. In practical terms, that implies hands-on learning opportunities and capacity-building for staff, partners, or volunteers, as well as on-the-ground efforts to document lichen species presence and distribution through field-based inventories. Finally, the opportunity explicitly anticipates collaboration with and direct work alongside BLM staff on lichenology-related tasks, which aligns with the cooperative agreement instrument where substantial involvement by the federal agency is expected during project implementation.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, BLM anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $24,000. The award ceiling is $24,000 and the award floor is listed as $1, indicating proposals could vary in size but cannot exceed the maximum. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, meaning applicants are not obligated to contribute non-federal funds to be considered competitive or eligible. The eligible applicant category is listed as unrestricted, which generally means the competition is open to a wide range of applicant types (such as nonprofits, universities, tribes, local governments, and potentially other entities), subject to any specific clarifications that may be included in the full announcement package.
This opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, reinforcing that the work is intended to support stewardship, conservation, and resource management outcomes rather than purely academic research. Key dates show it was posted and created on July 12, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2011, and an archive date of July 12, 2012. Applicants were directed to retrieve full application instructions and required forms through the announcement's application materials, and the designated point of contact for access issues was Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 503-808-6243 or by email at teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
