Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA The Soil Carbon Cycle in Eastern Oregon a Demonstration Project" is a discretionary grant program intended to support a single research-focused demonstration effort in Eastern Oregon rangeland ecosystems. The central goal is to run practical, field-based research that tests whether certain rangeland management approaches, including different grazing intensities, can measurably increase the rate at which carbon is sequestered in soils. In plain terms, the project is meant to move beyond theory and show, under real conditions, which management choices can help soils store more carbon over time.
A major emphasis of the project is building baseline information about how the soil carbon cycle functions in Eastern Oregon landscapes. Establishing that baseline matters because soil carbon dynamics vary widely by vegetation type, climate, soil characteristics, and land use history. By documenting current conditions and responses to management, the work is expected to provide a clearer reference point for future decision-making. The intended audience is both public and private land managers who need reliable, region-specific information when weighing the costs and benefits of grazing strategies, restoration treatments, and other rangeland management practices.
BLM's stated reason for participating is to strengthen its understanding of soil carbon science in rangeland habitats and to identify management practices that could realistically be adopted as the agency plans and administers activities on Federal lands. In other words, the project is not only about generating academic findings; it is also aimed at producing usable, on-the-ground insight that BLM can apply when considering grazing management and other rangeland actions. The "demonstration" aspect signals that the project should show outcomes in a way that helps land managers evaluate options, rather than remaining purely experimental or laboratory-based.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement or collaboration by the agency during the project compared with a standard grant. The program falls under the Natural Resources activity category and aligns with CFDA 15.237, Rangeland Resource Management. The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000, and the award ceiling was also $150,000 (with an award floor listed as $1). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as long as it met any additional eligibility conditions described in the full announcement. Key dates for the original posting show it was posted on August 23, 2010, with a closing date of September 7, 2010, and an archive date of August 23, 2011. Applicants who needed help accessing the announcement were directed to contact Walter Ullrey, Agreements Specialist, at 503-808-6230 or wullrey@blm.gov, and the official listing was available through Grants.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the name of this BLM funding opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "BLM OR/WA The Soil Carbon Cycle in Eastern Oregon a Demonstration Project."
Which agency is offering this grant?
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is the federal agency offering this funding opportunity.
What is the overall purpose of the project?
The project is intended to support a single research-focused demonstration effort in Eastern Oregon rangeland ecosystems. Its core purpose is to run practical, field-based research that tests whether certain rangeland management approaches can measurably increase the rate at which carbon is sequestered in soils.
What does BLM mean by a "demonstration project" in this opportunity?
The "demonstration" aspect signals that the work should show outcomes under real, on-the-ground conditions in a way that helps land managers evaluate options. The project is meant to move beyond theory or purely laboratory-based work and demonstrate results that are usable for decision-making.
What kinds of management approaches are expected to be examined?
The description highlights rangeland management approaches, including different grazing intensities, as examples of practices to be tested for whether they can increase soil carbon sequestration rates.
Where is the project geographically focused?
The effort is focused on rangeland ecosystems in Eastern Oregon.
What is meant by building a "baseline" for the soil carbon cycle?
A major emphasis is establishing baseline information about how the soil carbon cycle functions in Eastern Oregon landscapes. This includes documenting current conditions and how soils respond to management, recognizing that soil carbon dynamics can vary widely by vegetation type, climate, soil characteristics, and land use history.
Why is baseline information important for this project?
Baseline documentation is important because it provides a clearer reference point for future decision-making. The opportunity notes that soil carbon dynamics vary across landscapes, so region-specific baseline information can help interpret management outcomes and guide future planning.
Who is the intended audience for the results of this project?
The intended audience includes both public and private land managers who need reliable, region-specific information when weighing the costs and benefits of grazing strategies, restoration treatments, and other rangeland management practices.
Why is BLM participating in this effort?
BLM states that it is participating to strengthen its understanding of soil carbon science in rangeland habitats and to identify management practices that could realistically be adopted as the agency plans and administers activities on federal lands.
Is this opportunity focused on academic research only?
No. While it is research-focused, the opportunity emphasizes producing usable, on-the-ground insight that BLM can apply when considering grazing management and other rangeland actions, not just academic findings.
What type of funding instrument is being used (grant vs. cooperative agreement)?
