Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Population Monitoring and Effects of Grazing on Greenes Mariposa Lily on the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00135) supports a research and partnership project focused on Greenes mariposa lily, a rare endemic plant found in southwest Oregon and northern California. The core aim is to build collaboration among researchers, organizations, and other partners to improve public understanding of this species while generating rigorous scientific information about its population biology, the pressures it faces from herbivory, and how it responds to different land management conditions across its range, including within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and nearby areas.
The project is structured around three main research objectives. First, it seeks to determine how herbivory affects the lily's population processes and long-term trends. Herbivory is defined broadly and includes impacts from insects, small mammals, and large mammals such as deer and livestock. The intent is not only to document the level and type of damage, but to connect those impacts to measurable population outcomes (such as survival, reproduction, recruitment, or overall population growth) and then translate the findings into practical management strategies that improve the species viability on the Monument. This objective explicitly combines basic understanding with applied science, with an emphasis on making the results usable for on-the-ground decisions, particularly where grazing or wildlife browsing may be influencing plant persistence.
Second, the opportunity calls for identifying climate drivers that influence population growth for Greenes mariposa lily. This means linking population performance to climate variables that may be limiting or supporting the species, such as temperature patterns, precipitation timing and totals, snowpack, drought conditions, or other climate-related stressors relevant to the region. The expected outcome is a clearer understanding of which climate factors most strongly predict good or poor years for the species, paired with suggestions for management actions or restoration approaches that can help the lily persist under future climate conditions. This portion is framed as applied science, emphasizing management relevance and forward-looking recommendations.
Third, the project includes evaluation of trends in the surrounding plant communities associated with Greenes mariposa lily habitat, and how those community dynamics interact with herbivory and climate. In practice, this objective points toward monitoring vegetation composition and change over time (for example, shifts in competing plants, invasive species pressures, changes in ground cover, or habitat structure) and analyzing how those changes correlate with grazing/browsing pressure and climatic variation. The goal is to produce management recommendations not only for the Monument but also for adjacent public lands, recognizing that the species range and influencing factors extend beyond a single administrative boundary. Like the first objective, this is presented as both basic and applied science, aiming to strengthen ecological understanding while informing actionable management.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, listed under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). BLM anticipated making one award. The posting and creation date were July 5, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 4, 2013. The estimated total funding for the opportunity is listed as $100,000, with an award ceiling of $15,000 and an award floor of $1. Cost sharing or matching is not required, and eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement. For access issues or questions tied to the full application package, the listed contact is Jessica Clark at 503-808-6226 or j1clark@blm.gov.

What species is the project focused on?
The project focuses on Greenes mariposa lily, described as a rare endemic plant found in southwest Oregon and northern California.
Where will the work take place?
The work is intended to cover the species range and management context within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and nearby areas, including adjacent public lands.
What is the overall purpose of the project?
The core aim is to build collaboration among partners while improving public understanding of Greenes mariposa lily and producing strong scientific information about its population biology, pressures from herbivory, and responses to different land management conditions.
What are the main research objectives in this opportunity?
The project is structured around three objectives: (1) determine how herbivory affects population processes and long-term trends, (2) identify climate drivers influencing population growth, and (3) evaluate trends in surrounding plant communities and how community dynamics interact with herbivory and climate.
What does BLM mean by herbivory in this announcement?
Herbivory is defined broadly to include impacts from insects, small mammals, and large mammals such as deer and livestock.
Is the herbivory objective only about documenting damage to the plants?
No. The objective is to document the level and type of herbivory and connect those impacts to measurable population outcomes, such as survival, reproduction, recruitment, or overall population growth, and then translate findings into practical management strategies.
How is grazing addressed in the project?
Grazing is addressed as a potential driver of herbivory and as a land management condition that may influence plant persistence, with an emphasis on producing results that can support on-the-ground decisions where grazing or wildlife browsing may affect the species.
What does the climate objective ask applicants to do?
It calls for identifying climate drivers that influence population growth by linking population performance to climate variables such as temperature patterns, precipitation timing and totals, snowpack, drought conditions, and other relevant regional climate stressors.
What outcomes are expected from the climate drivers work?
The expected outcome is a clearer understanding of which climate factors best predict good or poor years for the species, along with suggestions for management actions or restoration approaches to support persistence under future climate conditions.
What does the plant community objective involve?
It involves evaluating trends in surrounding plant communities associated with Greenes mariposa lily habitat, including monitoring vegetation composition and change over time (such as shifts in competing plants, invasive species pressures, ground cover changes, or habitat structure), and analyzing how those changes correlate with grazing/browsing pressure and climatic variation.
Are the objectives considered basic research, applied research, or both?
Based on the description: the herbivory objective explicitly combines basic understanding with applied science; the climate drivers objective is framed as applied science with management relevance; and the plant community objective is presented as both basic and applied science.
What kind of award instrument is anticipated?
This opportunity is described as a discretionary cooperative agreement.
What activity category is this opportunity listed under?
