Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Oregon Plant Conservation - Forecasting Climate Change opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00172) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support plant conservation work on BLM-managed lands in Oregon and Washington. The project focus is on understanding and addressing how climate change may affect plant species and habitats, while also strengthening day-to-day conservation and recovery actions for plants that are already at risk. In practical terms, the award supports technical and field-based conservation activities aimed at threatened and endangered plants, as well as rare and even common native plant species where management benefits are anticipated.
The scope of work described centers on a mix of analytical studies and on-the-ground efforts. Key activities include climate change forecasting and viability modeling (tools that help predict future habitat suitability and population persistence under different climate scenarios), along with administrative studies that inform management decisions. The project also emphasizes monitoring assessments and surveys, which typically involve locating populations, documenting status and trends, evaluating habitat conditions, and identifying threats. In addition, the announcement highlights recovery actions, suggesting that the funded work is expected to translate into tangible conservation outcomes such as site-level management recommendations, restoration or enhancement measures, improved monitoring protocols, and actions aligned with threatened and endangered species recovery needs.
Funding is listed at an estimated total of $500,000 with one expected award, using a cooperative agreement structure, which generally implies substantial federal involvement and coordination during project implementation. The award ceiling is $97,000 and the award floor is $1, indicating that proposed budgets could vary, but would not exceed the stated maximum for an individual award under this announcement. The program falls under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement package. The opportunity was originally posted on July 20, 2012, with an application closing date of August 3, 2012, and it was later archived on July 19, 2013. For applicants needing the full instructions and application materials, the announcement directs users to download the package from the application section of the listing, and provides a contact for access issues: Jessica Clark at 503-808-6226 or j1clark@blm.gov.
