Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Sage Grouse Core Area Digitization grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00218) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program that supports a focused natural-resources mapping project in Wyoming. The core purpose of the work is to improve spatial information about the sagebrush steppe ecosystem within Wyoming sage-grouse core population areas by identifying and mapping existing surface disturbances. The project relies on digitizing disturbances that can be interpreted from existing aerial imagery as well as newer imagery where available, creating a clearer and more current geospatial record of where development or other disturbance features occur across core habitat.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordination on methods, data standards, review of interim products, or integration with agency datasets). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The notice listed no specific award ceiling or floor, suggesting the agency intended to negotiate the final award amount and scope within the total available funding rather than setting strict per-award bounds in the public summary.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning qualified public universities or similar state entities were the intended applicants. The opportunity was posted on July 18, 2014, and had an application deadline of August 4, 2014, with the listing archived on August 15, 2014. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the “APPLICATION” tab in the original posting for detailed instructions, required forms, technical specifications, and submission requirements. For access issues or questions, the point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at the BLM (307-775-6313, rtichac@blm.gov).
In practical terms, the project centers on producing consistent, defensible GIS layers that delineate human-caused or other visible disturbances in sagebrush habitats inside Wyoming sage-grouse core areas. By digitizing disturbance footprints from aerial imagery, the resulting dataset can support habitat assessments, mitigation planning, land-use decision-making, and long-term conservation strategies aimed at maintaining or improving conditions for sage-grouse populations and the broader sagebrush ecosystem.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the BLM WY Sage Grouse Core Area Digitization grant opportunity?
It is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00218) supporting a focused natural-resources mapping project in Wyoming.
