Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Oregon Washington Avifauna Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00279) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity area. The central aim is to support field-based work that surveys and monitors bird (avifauna) communities and the habitats they rely on, then uses those findings to help determine practical management actions needed to conserve and protect those bird communities over time. In other words, the project is designed to generate on-the-ground data about what bird species are present, how populations and community composition may be changing, what habitat conditions exist, and what conservation or management measures are most appropriate based on the evidence collected.
The geographic scope is limited to Oregon and Washington, and proposed work must take place in those states. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any entity type may apply as long as it meets any conditions spelled out in the full announcement, with the key stated constraint being the Oregon/Washington location requirement. The program anticipates making one award. The estimated total funding available is $500,000, with an award ceiling of $165,000 and an award floor of $1. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make participation more feasible for applicants that do not have additional non-federal resources to contribute.
Because the award instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should expect substantial involvement from the BLM during the project. In practice, cooperative agreements often mean closer coordination on study design, monitoring protocols, data management expectations, reporting, and how results are translated into management recommendations. The work implied by the description typically includes systematic bird surveys, habitat assessments, repeated monitoring to detect trends, and synthesis of results into guidance that can inform land and wildlife management decisions on BLM-managed lands or associated conservation areas in Oregon and Washington.
Key dates for this opportunity show it was posted and created on August 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2012, and an archive date of August 28, 2013. The CFDA program number associated with the funding is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact was Sheryl Dowley, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
