Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "BLMNM CESU - Lesser Prairie Chicken Management and Restoration" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00026) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The project sits in the Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development category and is aimed at supporting hands-on field work tied to the management and restoration of the lesser prairie chicken, a species of high conservation concern in the southern Great Plains.
At its core, the project is designed to staff seasonal field technicians and/or students to help carry out targeted field operations during the spring lekking and nesting season, specifically March through May 2013. The work centers on capturing lesser prairie chickens at lek sites using established wildlife capture methods, including walk-in traps and drop nets. After capture, birds that have been outfitted with tracking collars are monitored through regular follow-up field work. A key part of the workload involves weekly tracking of collared birds using radio telemetry, along with careful collection and documentation of location data. Those locations are recorded with GPS, and technicians are expected to record the associated field data tied to each GPS point, supporting later analysis of movement, habitat use, survival, and other management-relevant questions.
In terms of funding, BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is $20,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. Eligibility is limited to qualified CESU participants, with eligible applicant types specifically including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. This structure reflects the cooperative and research-oriented nature of the work, where universities often provide staffing, coordination, and technical support while collaborating closely with the agency on field implementation.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 22, 2013, and it was archived on April 22, 2013. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original listing. For access issues or submission questions, the listed point of contact was Charise P. Saiz at the BLM, reachable at 505-761-8725 or csaiz@blm.gov.
