Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), through its Utah Cedar City Field Office, offered a one-time, competitively awarded cooperative agreement to support greater sage-grouse work in southwest Utah, focused specifically on Hamlin Valley. The greater sage-grouse is a federally listed candidate species under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species Act framework, and the intent of the grant was to strengthen on-the-ground information needed to manage habitat and understand local population dynamics before conditions worsen. Hamlin Valley was identified by the local sage-grouse working group (SWARM) as a stronghold area, meaning it is considered especially important for sustaining the species in the region, and the BLM emphasized that better, site-specific habitat data are still needed to guide practical land-management decisions.
The core purpose of the project was to conduct field-based habitat assessment paired with population monitoring and mapping. The work was aimed at delineating, characterizing, and mapping both existing and potentially high-quality seasonal habitats used by sage-grouse within Hamlin Valley. A major emphasis was understanding habitat use and movements across key life stages and seasons, particularly identifying crucial areas used for breeding, nesting, brood rearing, and wintering. In other words, the project sought to connect where birds are on the landscape with the types and conditions of habitat they rely on at different times of year, and to translate those findings into usable maps and datasets.
This opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, indicating an expectation of substantial federal involvement or coordination during the project. The BLM planned to make one award with a total funding amount of $40,000 (with an award floor and ceiling both set at $40,000), and there was no cost-share or matching requirement. The associated CFDA number was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management).
Eligibility was open to universities, state government entities, and nonprofit organizations, with an emphasis on applicants that could demonstrate expertise in monitoring greater sage-grouse habitat in southwest Utah. The announcement timeline was short: it was posted September 2, 2010, originally set to close September 15, 2010, and later reflected a current closing date of September 20, 2010, with the opportunity archived November 30, 2010. Questions or issues accessing the full announcement were directed to Andrea J. Ramos (801-539-4145, aramos@blm.gov), and additional details were available through Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00342.
