Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Mycological Resources Inventory CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00057) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management program designed to support a focused, partial inventory of fungi and/or lichens occurring on BLM-managed lands in Wyoming. The core purpose is to document where these organisms are found and to develop usable baseline information that can feed directly into land and ecosystem management decisions. By establishing what species and communities are present now, the work is meant to make it easier for managers and researchers to detect and interpret changes over time, including shifts that may be linked to environmental stressors such as climate change.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the BLM expects to have an active role during the project, such as providing coordination, input on study design priorities, access to sites or existing data, and review of deliverables. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), placing it within the broader federal framework of conserving and managing biological resources on public lands. The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications in the full announcement), but the notice specifically notes a preference for organizations associated with the Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit (CESU) network. CESUs are partnerships that connect federal land management agencies with universities and other partners to support applied research and technical assistance, so the preference signals that the BLM was particularly interested in working through established collaborative research channels.
In practical terms, the project focus is an inventory effort rather than a broad experimental research program. The expected outcome is a defensible record of fungal and/or lichen occurrences on selected BLM lands, which can be used to inform resource management and serve as a reference point for future monitoring. Because fungi and lichens can be sensitive indicators of ecosystem condition, moisture regimes, air quality, disturbance, and long-term climatic patterns, improving occurrence data can strengthen planning and evaluation for habitat management, biodiversity conservation, and ecological health assessments.
The opportunity was posted on March 22, 2012, with an application closing date of April 6, 2012, and it was archived on April 30, 2012. The listing directs applicants to the full announcement and application package via the application materials link (referenced in the original posting). For assistance with accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Robert J. Tichac, Grants Management Officer at the Bureau of Land Management, reachable at 307-775-6313 or rtichac@blm.gov.
