Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM WY Sensitive Fish Species Monitoring" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00136) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with the related CFDA program listed as 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The core purpose of the project was to collect and develop information describing the condition, status, and distribution of fish species designated as sensitive by the BLM and by the State of Wyoming. The work was intended to cover the BLM Rock Springs High Desert District and the broader Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) geographic area, indicating a landscape-scale monitoring effort rather than a single-site study.
The project focus was on generating up-to-date monitoring data that land and resource managers can use to better understand where sensitive fish occur, how populations may be changing, and what the current on-the-ground conditions look like across the targeted watersheds and aquatic habitats. Although the announcement text is brief, this type of effort typically supports conservation planning and resource management decisions by identifying distribution patterns, documenting habitat conditions, and helping prioritize areas for protection, restoration, or additional study. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, the BLM likely anticipated substantial involvement or coordination during the project period, such as jointly refining monitoring priorities, aligning methods with agency protocols, sharing field logistics, or integrating results into BLM planning and reporting needs.
The estimated total federal funding available was $66,000, with the expectation of making a single award. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds. No formal award ceiling or floor was specified (both listed as $0), which usually signals that applicants should rely on the total estimated amount and the scope described in the full announcement when building their proposed budget and work plan.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to state governments, meaning that the intended applicant pool was Wyoming state agencies or comparable state-level entities with authority and capacity to carry out fisheries monitoring and data management. The posting date and creation date were both June 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 16, 2012. The opportunity was archived on July 31, 2012, indicating it is no longer open for applications.
For applicants needing the complete instructions and the application package, the announcement directed users to the "APPLICATION" tab in the full posting. The listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Robert J. Tichac at the BLM, reachable by phone at 307-775-6313 or by email at rtichac@blm.gov.
