Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA - Sage-Grouse Habitat Monitoring and Assessment, Oregon and Washington opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00077) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to be substantially involved in the project while it is being carried out, rather than simply providing funds and receiving a final report. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.231.
The main purpose of the grant is to support research and monitoring focused on the Greater sage-grouse in eastern Oregon and Washington. The BLM is emphasizing habitat monitoring and assessment because sage-grouse rely on a mix of sagebrush and riparian habitats that can vary widely across the landscape and across seasons. The agency is looking for work that improves understanding of where key habitats occur (distribution), how much of those habitats exist (quantity), how well they function for sage-grouse (quality), and how sage-grouse use different habitat types during different times of the year (seasonal occupation). This information is framed as essential for long-term conservation planning, especially on BLM-managed lands and surrounding areas where management decisions can influence habitat condition.
A central theme of the opportunity is supporting adaptive management where sage-grouse populations and habitat are declining. In practice, this means the project is expected to help identify likely drivers or contributing factors behind habitat loss, degradation, or reduced habitat use, and to provide information that can guide conservation measures intended to address those causes. The BLM is explicitly connecting monitoring and assessment results to on-the-ground management decisions, with the goal of improving outcomes for sage-grouse over time.
The funding details indicate a single anticipated award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $190,110. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. Key dates show the opportunity was created and posted on April 1, 2016, with an application closing date of May 31, 2016 (both the original and current closing date are the same), indicating a limited application window.
