Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Utah Migratory Bird and Special Status Species Project (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00060) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant opportunity designed to strengthen wildlife conservation and habitat management on BLM-administered lands in Utah. The central goal of the project was to improve on-the-ground knowledge of migratory birds and Utah BLM Sensitive Species by documenting where species are present, estimating their density, tracking population trends over time, and clarifying habitat use, conservation status, and distribution. Using that information, the project also aimed to produce practical management plans to maintain, protect, and improve the most important habitats supporting these species.
This opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM anticipated an active partnership with the recipient rather than a hands-off grant. The program was associated with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), aligning it with broader federal efforts to conserve fish, wildlife, plants, and the habitats they depend on. The intended conservation outcomes included better baseline datasets, improved understanding of species-habitat relationships, and actionable habitat protection or restoration planning that could guide BLM decisions and field activities.
The funding structure indicated a relatively focused, single-award effort. The announcement anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. However, the listed award ceiling and award floor were both $30,000, suggesting the specific cooperative agreement being competed at that time was set at $30,000 (or that awards would be made in increments or phases, with this particular notice covering one defined funding segment). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for eligible entities and allows the project scope to be driven more by conservation need than by the applicant's ability to contribute non-federal funds.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating the BLM expected a state-level agency partner in Utah to carry out or coordinate the work, potentially leveraging existing statewide wildlife monitoring programs, technical expertise, and established survey protocols. The posting and creation date were March 27, 2012, with an application closing date of April 30, 2012. The opportunity later archived on June 30, 2012, meaning it is no longer open for application and is provided mainly for recordkeeping and reference.
For applicants or interested parties who needed assistance accessing the full announcement at the time, the notice provided a point of contact in BLM grants management: Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 801-539-4178 and by email at mariagochis@blm.gov (also listed as mgochis@blm.gov). The announcement also referenced an additional information link hosted through Grants.gov, where the complete application instructions, submission requirements, and any technical attachments would typically be found.
