Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY HDD Northern Leatherside Study is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Office, intended to support research on the Northern Leatherside fish and the factors that shape its habitat use and population trends. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The work falls under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and is positioned squarely within natural resources conservation and management.
The central purpose of the project is to examine how land use patterns and habitat conditions relate to Northern Leatherside population dynamics across seasons. A major focus is identifying how habitat structure influences year-round occupancy, reproduction, and recruitment. In practice, this means studying what physical and biological habitat features are associated with the species being present throughout the year, successfully spawning, and producing young that survive long enough to join the population. Alongside that habitat-occupancy and life-cycle emphasis, the project is also designed to connect changes in population performance to land use effects that alter habitat quality, particularly through habitat modification, sedimentation, and water temperature changes. These are common stressors in stream systems and can directly affect spawning success, juvenile survival, and overall persistence of sensitive fish populations.
The anticipated performance period is two to five years, with an explicit cap of 60 months for the total project period. While the project is planned as multi-year work, continued funding is not automatic and would depend on two main conditions: first, whether the recipient demonstrates progress that the BLM considers satisfactory toward the project goals, and second, whether the BLM determines that continuing the project remains in the government’s best interest and funding is available. The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $80,000, and it specifies no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is effectively limited because this announcement is a Notice of Intent to make an award to Brigham Young University through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, specifically noting BYU as a Great Basin CESU partner. In other words, it is not an open competitive call for general applicants; it signals the agency’s intent to direct the cooperative agreement to that institution under the CESU partnership mechanism.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is BLM WY NOI10 9001, and the opportunity was posted and created on November 23, 2009. The original and current closing date is December 7, 2009, and the archive date is March 31, 2010. For access issues related to the full announcement text, the listed grants management contact is Ilze J. Karklins Powers (ipowers@blm.gov).
