Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Oregon/Washington Sudden Oak Death Survey and Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM OR NOI 09 1104) was a discretionary Department of the Interior grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support forest health work in Oregon. The focus is on Sudden Oak Death (SOD), a serious forest disease caused by the pathogen Phytophthora ramorum that has led to extensive dieback in multiple tree species. A central point of the project is that SOD cannot be reliably confirmed by visual symptoms alone; confirmation requires laboratory testing, so the funding is aimed at organized survey, monitoring, and sample collection efforts that feed into lab-based diagnostics.
The public purpose behind the award is protection and restoration of natural resources, particularly by improving the health of watersheds that also serve as habitat for threatened or endangered species. By detecting and tracking where the pathogen is present, the work supports timely management actions intended to keep the disease contained and to reduce further ecological damage. The opportunity also highlights an economic protection goal: keeping SOD restricted to an existing quarantine zone to avoid expansion of regulatory restrictions and to protect Oregon's nursery industry from crop destruction and associated financial losses.
Administratively, the opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources, with the CFDA number 15.233 (Forests and Woodlands Resource Management). It anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $89,000, with an award ceiling of $89,000 and a stated award floor of $1. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed. Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating the intent to fund a state-level partner to carry out coordinated surveillance and monitoring activities.
Key dates show this was a short-fuse announcement: it was posted and created on September 17, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 21, 2009, and it was archived on October 21, 2009.
