Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) OR/WA funding opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA 2015 Northwest Climate Conference Support" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00218) is a discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement to support the annual Northwest Climate Science Conference. This conference is a 2 to 3 day regional event that brings together climate science organizations and experts from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho to share the latest research and practical information on climate and climate change. It is designed to get current findings into the hands of people who manage land and natural resources, including both public and private land managers, regulatory agencies, and students. The conference also functions as a peer exchange where researchers can share best practices, discuss new methods, and coordinate around emerging issues in climate science and climate impacts.
A key feature of the conference is its rotating host structure, typically moving between Oregon State University, the University of Washington, and the University of Idaho. For 2015, the University of Idaho is identified as the host. BLM, along with other federal agencies, provides support for the event to help boost participation and ensure the information reaches the broadest possible audience. In practical terms, the grant is meant to strengthen conference delivery and attendance, which can include offsetting participation barriers and increasing overall access to the conference content for the region.
The main objective of the award is straightforward: provide support for the Northwest Climate Science Conference so that attendance is stimulated and a wide audience can be reached with up to date climate change related information. The public benefit is tied to how this information is used after the conference. By improving access to current climate science, the conference helps attendees incorporate new insights into planning and decision making, especially efforts aimed at increasing climate resilience and adaptation. The target audience is intentionally broad and includes policy and decision makers, resource managers, scientists from other disciplines, tribal land planners, and non governmental organizations, reflecting the reality that climate adaptation work depends on coordination across many sectors and jurisdictions.
From an administrative standpoint, BLM anticipated making a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $8,000. The award ceiling is $8,000 and the award floor is $1, indicating BLM left room for a range of potential budget proposals up to the maximum available amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have non federal funds available. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications provided in the full announcement materials.
The opportunity was posted on July 15, 2015, with an application closing date of September 14, 2015, and it was later archived on July 14, 2016. Applications were to be evaluated as they were received, and BLM noted it reserved the right to make an award without prior notice, which signals that proposals could be selected and funded before the deadline if a strong application arrived early. The funding falls under CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, aligning it with federal support for environmental stewardship, resource management, and applied science that informs land use decisions.
