Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity titled "BLM OR WA State of Washington Wildlife and Plant Conservation Information" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00204) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work in Washington State. The central purpose of the project is to support the ongoing maintenance, development, and distribution of high-quality conservation and biodiversity information for Washington, with an emphasis on keeping statewide datasets current, useful, and broadly accessible to partners who rely on them for land and species management decisions.
The work described centers on building and maintaining comprehensive information resources covering a wide range of biological topics across the state, including plants, wildlife, fish, fungi, and plant communities. A major component is the continued operation and upkeep of Washington's rare and endangered species database. In practice, this type of database work typically involves collecting and integrating new occurrence records, improving data quality and consistency, updating taxonomy and conservation status information where needed, and ensuring that the information can be shared in a usable form with cooperating organizations. The opportunity also highlights active coordination and collaboration with a broad network of partners, including other State and Federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private entities, to make sure the statewide information is as complete and reliable as possible.
BLM planned to make a single award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $19,500. The listed award ceiling is $19,500 and the award floor is $1, indicating that the intended award amount was up to the full estimated total. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on priorities, deliverables, data standards, or review of products, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted" in general terms, but the announcement also notes that it was anticipated the award would be made to a Washington State agency. This suggests that while multiple entity types could potentially apply, the program expectation was that a state-level organization responsible for statewide conservation information would be best positioned to carry out the work and maintain continuity of the database and information services over time.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of July 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2012, and an archive date of July 30, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. For applicants needing the complete announcement and application instructions, the notice directs users to download materials from the "APPLICATION" tab in the posting. The listed point of contact for access issues is Sheryl Dowley, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
