Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Migratory Bird Monitoring opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00073) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The purpose of the project was to build solid population trend information for migratory birds that are considered BLM sensitive species in Wyoming. In practical terms, the work was intended to generate consistent, credible trend data at the Wyoming Field Office level and to create a baseline that BLM could use later when evaluating the effects of specific projects, land uses, or management actions at a finer, project-by-project scale.
The emphasis of the announcement is on monitoring and data collection that supports long-term management decisions. By establishing baseline conditions and population trends, the project would help BLM offices track whether sensitive bird populations are stable, increasing, or declining over time, and it would make future site-specific monitoring more meaningful because there would be an initial reference point to compare against. Although the brief synopsis does not spell out exact field methods, the eligibility note makes it clear that applicants were expected to have experience with bird sampling methodology, which typically implies competence with established survey designs, repeatable field protocols, and data management practices needed for trend analysis.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $200,000 total, with BLM expecting to make one award. The announcement lists no required cost share or matching requirement, and it sets neither a specific award ceiling nor floor (both are shown as 0), which usually indicates the agency did not want to constrain the final award amount beyond the total available funding and the merit-based selection process. The opportunity was open to unrestricted applicants, meaning any entity type could apply as long as it met the qualifications and any clarifications contained in the full announcement package, with the key qualification highlighted being demonstrated experience in bird sampling methods.
This opportunity was posted on April 2, 2015, with an application deadline of June 4, 2015, and it was archived on June 15, 2015. The announcement directed applicants to use the application package available through the posting (via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original system) for complete instructions. For access issues or questions, the point of contact listed was Robert J. Tichac at the Bureau of Land Management (phone 307-775-6313, email rtichac@blm.gov).
