Opportunity Summary:
The BLM-WO, North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI) Support opportunity is a small, discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding action designed to keep BLM engaged in NABCI, a long-standing partnership that brings together federal agencies, state wildlife and natural resource offices, and nongovernmental organizations. NABCI functions as a coordination and information-sharing hub where practitioners exchange current science, management approaches, and practical tools for conserving birds and the habitats they rely on. BLM frames this support as part of its broader mission to conserve wildlife on public lands, emphasizing that nearly 400 bird species depend on BLM-managed landscapes for some portion of their life cycle, whether for breeding, migration stopovers, wintering habitat, or other critical needs.
The primary objective of the award is to strengthen cooperation and collaboration among natural resource professionals and conservation organizations working on migratory bird conservation across North America. In practice, that means supporting the mechanisms that allow partners to align priorities, share research findings, coordinate conservation strategies, and improve on-the-ground management by using agreed-upon best practices. The opportunity is also explicitly tied to federal migratory bird responsibilities, noting that this type of coordinated work helps advance NABCI conservation goals and supports commitments reflected in a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service related to migratory bird protection.
BLM describes the public benefit in two connected ways. First, by improving how agencies and partners share information on bird research and management, the program helps protect bird populations and habitat on public lands. Second, it argues that better-informed conservation and habitat management translates into a better public experience on BLM lands, since healthy bird populations and intact habitats support wildlife viewing, recreation, and overall ecosystem quality. The collaboration is also portrayed as a way to build a more informed public, encouraging visitors and stakeholders to become better stewards of public-land resources through exposure to conservation priorities and outcomes.
Administratively, this funding opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance rather than acting purely as a pass-through funder. It was posted May 5, 2016, with an application deadline of July 5, 2016. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $10,000 and anticipates making one award. It falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.231. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full announcement text.
