Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA - Sustainable Rangelands Roundtable (for Washington DC)" supports a communication and outreach effort tied to the Sustainable Rangeland Roundtable, an ongoing initiative that has developed criteria and indicators for conserving and sustainably managing rangelands. The Roundtable work covers biological, social, and economic values across both public and private rangelands, and this particular funding focuses on turning prior technical discussions into clear, practical materials that can be used by decision-makers. The effort is anchored in outcomes from a June 2014 workshop that brought together ranchers, university researchers, agency staff, and non-governmental organizations to discuss future directions for "useable science" that helps sustain rangeland ecosystems and the goods and services they provide.
The main purpose of the award is to help create handouts and develop briefings and presentations that translate the workshop findings into messages tailored for policy makers, agency leadership, and NGO representatives, especially in Washington, DC contexts where national policy and leadership conversations occur. The deliverables are meant to summarize what the workshop concluded, what it recommended, and what science is already available versus what science is still needed to improve rangeland stewardship. Emphasis is placed on science that can actually be applied in management and assessment, including information and tools relevant to soil health, vegetation condition, water resources, animal considerations, and socio-economic characteristics tied to working landscapes and rural communities.
BLM frames the public benefit in terms of better-informed public policy and improved management decisions across rangeland systems. By packaging the Roundtable's recommendations into accessible products, the project aims to strengthen awareness of how rangeland management choices are made and what evidence supports those choices. In practical terms, BLM anticipates that clearer communication of credible, use-oriented science can lead to decisions that sustain or improve ecosystem services from rangelands, whether those lands are publicly managed or privately owned, and can also improve general public understanding of the tradeoffs and indicators involved in long-term rangeland sustainability.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the Bureau of Land Management under a Cooperative Agreement instrument, within the Natural Resources activity category. The opportunity number is L15AS00198 and it is associated with CFDA 15.237 (Rangeland Resource Management). BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000 for the opportunity overall, while listing an award ceiling of $70,000 and an award floor of $1. Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to entity types, subject to any clarifications in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted June 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2015, and an archive date of June 26, 2016. For access issues or additional assistance, the listed contact is Walter Ullrey, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 503-808-6302.
