Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM WY Soil Analysis for Desert Yellowhead (CESU)" is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wyoming State Office. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The work falls under the natural resources category and is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The project is focused on supporting conservation and recovery planning for Yermo xanthocephalus, commonly known as Desert Yellowhead, a plant species endemic to Wyoming and listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
The core purpose of the project is to improve the scientific understanding of the species habitat and distribution through three connected tasks: (1) soil analysis from both extant (currently known) sites and probable sites where the plant may occur, (2) habitat modeling to predict where suitable conditions exist, and (3) field surveying to verify plant presence and refine knowledge of its range. Taken together, these activities are meant to strengthen the data foundation the BLM and partners need for management decisions, such as identifying and prioritizing habitats for protection, assessing threats, and guiding future monitoring or conservation actions. Because Desert Yellowhead is a listed species with a limited geographic footprint, the emphasis on targeted soil work and predictive modeling suggests the BLM is trying to better define the environmental conditions that support the species and locate additional populations that may not yet be documented.
Eligibility for the award is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the BLM indicates an intention to award the cooperative agreement specifically with the University of Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, reflecting a targeted partnership approach often used under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) framework. The opportunity anticipates a single award. The estimated total funding amount is $48,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient institution and can make it easier to focus resources directly on field and analytical work.
The planned period of performance is two years, with a firm cap that the total project period will not exceed 24 months. While the anticipated length is two years, the description notes that the BLM may consider continued funding within that window based on two conditions: the recipient demonstrating progress that the BLM considers satisfactory toward project goals, and a determination that continuation is in the government interest, or the availability of funds. In practical terms, that language signals the project is expected to produce measurable deliverables and regular evidence of progress, and that funding continuity may depend on performance and budget conditions.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on July 2, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2009, and an archive date of October 1, 2009.

Why is Desert Yellowhead a focus for this project?
Desert Yellowhead is endemic to Wyoming and is listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The project aims to strengthen the scientific information needed for management and recovery planning for a listed species with a limited geographic footprint.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The core purpose is to improve scientific understanding of Desert Yellowhead habitat and distribution to support conservation and recovery planning and inform BLM management decisions.
What are the major tasks included in the scope of work?
The project includes three connected tasks: (1) soil analysis from extant (currently known) sites and probable sites, (2) habitat modeling to predict where suitable conditions exist, and (3) field surveying to verify plant presence and refine knowledge of its range.
What does "extant sites" mean in this announcement?
In this context, extant sites are currently known locations where Desert Yellowhead occurs.
What does "probable sites" mean in this announcement?
Probable sites are locations where Desert Yellowhead may occur but has not yet been confirmed, and that are targeted for soil work, modeling, and/or field verification.
How will soil analysis be used in this project?
Soil analysis will be conducted at both known and probable sites to improve understanding of habitat conditions associated with Desert Yellowhead and to support habitat modeling and survey targeting.
