Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Sage Grouse Genetics opportunity is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office discretionary funding notice describing an intended cooperative agreement award to Craighead Beringia South. The project focuses on Greater Sage-Grouse conservation by using genetic research to better understand how several Wyoming subpopulations are related and how individuals move between them. Specifically, the work is designed to concurrently examine the genetic structure of sage-grouse in three areas: the Green River region, the Gros Ventre region, and the Jackson Hole valley.
The core purpose of the project is to generate practical, management-relevant information about connectivity and population structure. The recipient will analyze dispersal rates among the three subpopulations, meaning how often birds (and their genes) move from one area to another. In addition, the project will look at fine-scale population structure within each geographic area, which typically involves determining whether there are smaller genetic groupings or patterns within each region that might reflect habitat fragmentation, lek dynamics, or local barriers to movement. A third emphasis is sex-biased gene flow within and among the areas, which addresses whether males and females contribute differently to movement and genetic exchange (for example, whether one sex tends to disperse farther, influencing how genes spread across the landscape). Together, these analyses are intended to inform conservation and management decisions by clarifying how connected or isolated these sage-grouse groups are.
The anticipated project length is one year, and the total project period will not exceed 12 months. While the initial period is limited to a year, the BLM notes that it may consider continued funding if the recipient demonstrates progress that the BLM finds satisfactory toward the program goals and if continuation is determined to be in the government’s best interest, or if funding availability allows. This framing signals that the agreement is performance- and funding-contingent, with the possibility of follow-on support but no guarantee beyond the initial period.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $20,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and an award floor of $1. Cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity anticipates making one award. It is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
As an administrative matter, this posting functions as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning the BLM is signaling its plan to make the award to a specific recipient rather than soliciting broad competition. The opportunity was posted and created on May 19, 2009, with a closing date of June 18, 2009, and it was archived on October 1, 2009. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, at ipowers@blm.gov.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the BLM WY Sage Grouse Genetics opportunity?
The BLM WY Sage Grouse Genetics opportunity is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office discretionary funding notice describing an intended cooperative agreement award. The work centers on Greater Sage-Grouse conservation and uses genetic research to produce management-relevant information about how sage-grouse subpopulations in Wyoming are related and connected.
What type of funding instrument is described?
The notice describes an intended cooperative agreement award.
Is this a competitive grant opportunity open to multiple applicants?
No. This posting functions as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning BLM is signaling its plan to make the award to a specific recipient rather than soliciting broad competition.
Who is the intended recipient of the award?
The intended recipient is Craighead Beringia South.
What is the main conservation goal of the project?
The project aims to support Greater Sage-Grouse conservation by using genetic research to better understand relationships among several Wyoming subpopulations and how individuals (and their genes) move between them. The emphasis is on producing practical information that can inform conservation and management decisions.
Which sage-grouse areas or subpopulations are included in the research?
The project is designed to concurrently examine genetic structure in three geographic areas: the Green River region, the Gros Ventre region, and the Jackson Hole valley.
What kinds of analyses will the recipient perform?
Based on the notice, the recipient will focus on three related genetic and connectivity analyses: (1) dispersal rates among the three subpopulations, (2) fine-scale population structure within each geographic area, and (3) sex-biased gene flow within and among the areas.
What does "dispersal rates" mean in the context of this project?
In this project, dispersal rates refer to how often birds (and their genes) move from one area to another among the Green River, Gros Ventre, and Jackson Hole areas.
What is meant by "fine-scale population structure" within each area?
Fine-scale population structure generally involves determining whether there are smaller genetic groupings or patterns within each region. The notice indicates these patterns might reflect factors such as habitat fragmentation, lek dynamics, or local barriers to movement.
What is "sex-biased gene flow" and why does it matter here?
Sex-biased gene flow addresses whether males and females contribute differently to movement and genetic exchange. The notice gives the example of one sex dispersing farther than the other, which would influence how genes spread across the landscape. This helps clarify how connectivity may function in practice across the study areas.
What is the project period or anticipated length of the agreement?
The anticipated project length is one year, and the total project period will not exceed 12 months.
Is continued funding possible after the initial period?
BLM notes it may consider continued funding if the recipient demonstrates progress that BLM finds satisfactory toward program goals, and if continuation is determined to be in the government’s best interest, or if funding availability allows. The notice does not guarantee funding beyond the initial 12-month period.
How much funding is available under this opportunity?
The estimated total funding amount is $20,000.
What are the award ceiling and award floor?
The award ceiling is $20,000 and the award floor is $1.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
Yes. The notice states that cost sharing or matching is required.
How many awards does BLM anticipate making?
The opportunity anticipates making one award.
What program area or category is this opportunity associated with?
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources.
What CFDA number is associated with this opportunity?
The notice lists CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
When was this opportunity posted, and what were the key dates?
The opportunity was posted and created on May 19, 2009. The closing date was June 18, 2009. It was archived on October 1, 2009.
Who is the point of contact for questions about accessing the full announcement?
Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Ilze J. Karklins Powers, Grants Management Officer, at ipowers@blm.gov.
What is the practical management outcome BLM is looking for from the genetics work?
The stated purpose is to generate practical, management-relevant information about connectivity and population structure, helping clarify how connected or isolated the Green River, Gros Ventre, and Jackson Hole sage-grouse groups are for conservation and management decision-making.
