BLM OR/WA Native Fish Investigations, Oregon | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The BLM OR/WA Native Fish Investigations, Oregon grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00122) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to support continued field investigations of native fish on or near BLM-managed lands in Oregon. The project is framed as an extension of survey work that ran from 2010 through 2015, and it is built on a long-standing collaboration between the BLM and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). The central purpose is to strengthen the shared understanding of where native fish occur, how abundant they are, what habitat conditions they rely on, and how populations are changing over time. By improving the data foundation, the effort is intended to support better on-the-ground conservation decisions and tighter coordination among partners working in the same landscapes, including the U.S. Forest Service, local Tribes, and private landowners.

The work described in the announcement is organized into two main survey tracks. First, it funds resurveys of habitats that ODFW previously surveyed, using similar methods, so that the partners can compare results over time and detect habitat and population trends. Second, it supports new surveys following ODFW protocols to fill information gaps for fish species that both agencies consider priorities. The priority groups specifically called out include species listed under the Endangered Species Act, species on the BLM Special Status Species List, and other species that are rare, highly localized, or otherwise poorly documented in existing datasets. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at producing consistent, comparable field information across multiple sites and years, with a mix of repeat monitoring and targeted discovery work for species that lack strong baseline data.

The stated objective is straightforward: continue collecting distribution, abundance, habitat requirement, and trend data for native fish species in Oregon associated with BLM-managed lands. The recipient is expected to deliver tangible data products that can be integrated into BLM systems and used by managers and partners. Required deliverables include submitting copies of all field data collected, producing a written report that summarizes and interprets the results of the data collection, and providing all associated GIS data so it can be incorporated into BLM fisheries databases. The emphasis on GIS deliverables signals that spatial accuracy and database-ready formats are important, not just narrative reporting.

In terms of funding details, the opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000. Individual award amounts were expected to fall within an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $40,000, indicating the work may be structured as a set of discrete tasks or phases under the broader program total. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants would need to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) as part of the project budget. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), and the activity category is Natural Resources. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement materials.

Key dates included a posted/creation date of May 19, 2015, and an application closing date of July 20, 2015, with the opportunity later archived on May 18, 2016. For applicants needing the full instructions and application package, the announcement directed users to the application materials associated with the posting. The listed point of contact was Jessica Clark at the BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov), for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically or for related questions.
