Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA Silene Spaldingii Research and Monitoring, Spokane District" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00338) supports field research and monitoring focused on Silene spaldingii, commonly known as Spalding's catchfly, in Eastern Washington. The main purpose is to improve understanding of where the plant occurs and which environmental factors influence its presence, persistence, and overall population dynamics. In practice, the work is intended to strengthen conservation knowledge and help land managers make better, more consistent decisions for a species of concern.
A central theme of the announcement is alignment with the Final Recovery Plan for Silene spaldingii. The project is meant to directly contribute to the recovery plan's priorities by advancing conservation, monitoring, and demographic study efforts. That means the study is not just a one-time inventory; it is expected to generate information useful for ongoing recovery planning, including insights into population status, trends over time, and conditions associated with successful populations. The opportunity also emphasizes developing or refining monitoring criteria so that management actions and evaluations can be tied back to recovery plan objectives. In other words, the project should help define what to measure, how to measure it, and what benchmarks or indicators should guide management decisions.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the agency expects to have substantial involvement or collaboration during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and 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 for the opportunity is $250,000, while the stated award ceiling is $30,000 and the award floor is $1, which suggests awards under this specific posting were intended to be relatively small per award even though broader program funding levels may be higher.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full announcement on Grants.gov. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, so applicants were not expected to provide mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The posting dates show this was a time-limited competition released on August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 10, 2010, and it was later archived on August 31, 2011. For applicants who could not access the full announcement online, the listed point of contact was Walter Ullrey, Grant Specialist, reachable at 503-808-6230 or by email at wullrey@blm.gov.
