Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA - Pollinators grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00060) is a Bureau of Land Management research-focused cooperative agreement intended to improve understanding of pollinators in forested ecosystems, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. The program is rooted in the idea that animal pollinators are essential to ecosystem function and food production, since they fertilize close to 90 percent of the worlds roughly 350,000 flowering plant species. Because those plants support both human food systems and wildlife forage, the BLM is emphasizing pollinators as a natural resource priority rather than treating them as a niche topic.
A central theme of the opportunity is how disturbance drives habitat conditions that pollinators depend on in temperate coniferous forests. The description highlights wildfire and human-caused disturbances, including timber harvest, as major agents of change that create early seral conditions. Early seral habitats generally feature more sunlight reaching the ground, increased abundance and diversity of flowering plants, and suitable nesting substrates, which together can strongly influence pollinator presence and population size. In these conifer-dominated landscapes, pollinator populations are described as being largely restricted to early seral conditions, meaning that the timing, frequency, and characteristics of disturbance events may be critical for sustaining pollinators over the long term.
The BLM is also signaling a research gap it wants addressed: most existing studies on how disturbances and land management affect pollinators have focused on agroecosystems or open-field settings. Comparatively little attention has been paid to pollinator dynamics in other natural habitats, and the Pacific Northwest is singled out as a region where information is especially limited. As a result, this opportunity is aimed at generating data and insights that connect natural and anthropogenic disturbance processes with pollinator resources and responses in conifer forest landscapes, helping land managers understand what kinds of conditions promote flowering resources, nesting opportunities, and ultimately viable pollinator communities.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM), using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement or collaboration with the agency during the project. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and CFDA number 15.231. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any applicant type, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement.
The total funding available for a single award is up to an award ceiling of $120,000, with one expected award. The opportunity was posted and created on March 16, 2016, with a closing date of May 16, 2016. Overall, the grant is designed to support applied research that helps BLM and partners better understand and manage post-disturbance forest conditions in ways that maintain or enhance pollinator habitat and populations in the Pacific Northwest.
BLM OR/WA - Pollinators (L16AS00060) FAQs
What is the BLM OR/WA - Pollinators funding opportunity?
BLM OR/WA - Pollinators (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00060) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) research-focused cooperative agreement intended to improve understanding of pollinators in forested ecosystems, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.
What is the main purpose of this grant?
The grant is designed to support applied research that helps BLM and partners better understand and manage post-disturbance forest conditions in ways that maintain or enhance pollinator habitat and populations in temperate conifer forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Why is BLM emphasizing pollinators as a priority?
The opportunity frames animal pollinators as essential to ecosystem function and food production because they fertilize close to 90 percent of the worlds roughly 350,000 flowering plant species. Those plants support human food systems and provide forage for wildlife, so BLM treats pollinators as a natural resource priority rather than a niche topic.
What ecosystems and region does the opportunity focus on?
The focus is on forested ecosystems, with an emphasis on temperate coniferous forests in the Pacific Northwest (identified as a region where pollinator information is especially limited).
What research theme is emphasized in the announcement?
A central theme is how disturbance drives habitat conditions that pollinators depend on in temperate coniferous forests, including how different disturbance types and patterns influence pollinator resources and pollinator responses.
What types of disturbances are highlighted?
The description highlights wildfire and human-caused disturbances, including timber harvest, as major agents of change that can create early seral conditions important for pollinators.
What are "early seral conditions" and why do they matter for pollinators?
Early seral habitats generally feature more sunlight reaching the ground, increased abundance and diversity of flowering plants, and suitable nesting substrates. These conditions can strongly influence pollinator presence and population size in conifer-dominated landscapes.
How does the opportunity describe pollinators in conifer-dominated landscapes?
Pollinator populations are described as being largely restricted to early seral conditions in conifer-dominated landscapes, suggesting that the timing, frequency, and characteristics of disturbance events may be critical for sustaining pollinators over the long term.
What research gap is BLM trying to address with this funding?
The opportunity notes that most existing studies on disturbance and land management impacts to pollinators focus on agroecosystems or open-field settings. It identifies comparatively limited attention to pollinator dynamics in other natural habitats, with the Pacific Northwest singled out as especially information-limited.
What kinds of research outputs is this opportunity trying to generate?
Based on the description, the intent is to generate data and insights that connect natural and human-caused disturbance processes with pollinator resources (such as flowering resources and nesting opportunities) and pollinator responses in conifer forest landscapes.
What funding agency and department are offering this opportunity?
This is a discretionary funding opportunity under the Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
What is the funding instrument?
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement or collaboration with the agency during the project.
What is the funding activity category for this opportunity?
The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category.
What is the CFDA number associated with this opportunity?
The CFDA number listed is 15.231.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any applicant type, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement.
How much funding is available?
The total funding available for a single award is up to an award ceiling of $120,000.
How many awards does BLM expect to make?
One award is expected.
What are the key dates for this opportunity?
The opportunity was posted and created on March 16, 2016, and the closing date was May 16, 2016.
Is this opportunity focused on basic research or applied research?
It is described as research-focused and designed to support applied research that informs land management decisions related to post-disturbance forest conditions and pollinator habitat in the Pacific Northwest.
What management questions is this research meant to support?
The description emphasizes helping land managers understand what kinds of conditions promote flowering resources, nesting opportunities, and ultimately viable pollinator communities following natural and human-caused disturbances in conifer forest landscapes.
