Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA CESU Flora of the Pacific Northwest Revision" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00029) supports a regional effort to update and modernize the Flora of the Pacific Northwest, a cornerstone reference used by botanists and ecologists to identify both native and non-native plant species across the Pacific Northwest. The project responds to an established need to revise the primary flora manual for the region, incorporating updated taxonomy and current scientific understanding, and producing a new, single-volume illustrated reference focused on vascular plants.
At its core, the project is about revising and developing taxonomic information for the vascular plants of the Pacific Northwest. That scope explicitly includes ferns, gymnosperms (such as conifers), and angiosperms (flowering plants). The intended end product is a newly revised, authoritative, single-volume illustrated "Flora of the Pacific Northwest" that can serve as a practical identification and reference tool for field and herbarium work, resource management, and ecological research.
Geographically, the project is regional rather than site-specific. The targeted coverage includes the northern half of Oregon, all of Washington, Idaho north of the Snake River Plains, and Montana west of the Continental Divide, with inclusion of the southernmost portion of British Columbia as part of the broader Pacific Northwest flora region. This defined footprint reflects how plant distributions and ecological regions function across political boundaries, and it is meant to produce a consistent reference for agencies, researchers, and practitioners working across state lines.
The work is being advanced through the University of Washington Herbarium at the Burke Museum, which is developing the updated single-volume manual. The revision is anchored in, and intended to supersede or significantly update, the classic and widely used 1973 publication by C. Leo Hitchcock and Arthur Cronquist, which has long served as the authoritative flora for the region but requires modernization due to decades of advances in plant systematics, nomenclature, and regional documentation.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, categorized under Natural Resources. The CFDA listing is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding listed is $200,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $40,000, and it states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the academic and museum-based expertise typically needed for rigorous taxonomic revision and flora production.
The posting date and creation date were both January 30, 2014. The original and current closing date was March 3, 2014, and the archive date is January 30, 2015. For applicants needing access to full announcement materials, the notice directs users to download instructions and the application package via the application materials referenced in the posting.
