Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a discretionary funding opportunity to support cooperative management of the North American Ornithological Conference (NAOC). NAOC is a major ornithology and bird conservation conference convened every four years, and the grant is positioned as a way to strengthen coordination and communication among the many organizations involved in bird research and conservation across North America. The underlying need described in the notice is that effective bird conservation depends on up-to-date information exchange and consistent collaboration across jurisdictions and sectors, especially because bird populations and habitats span both public and private lands.
The core objective is to help bring together a wide range of partners, including Federal and State natural resource professionals, researchers, resource agencies, and non-governmental conservation organizations. The focus is not limited to BLM-managed lands, but explicitly includes efforts on both public and non-public lands, reflecting the reality that bird management and habitat conservation require cross-boundary coordination. By supporting this conference setting, the opportunity aims to advance shared conservation missions across State, Federal, and private wildlife agencies, while also meeting national and state needs for better communication and coordination in managing bird resources that are widely valued by the public.
The public benefit statement centers on practical outcomes from information sharing. By improving the flow of research findings and management lessons related to birds and their habitats, the conference is expected to help wildlife and land management agencies make better-informed decisions. The notice also frames the outcome in terms of public experience and stewardship: better management should translate into enhanced opportunities for the public on public lands (such as improved birdwatching, recreation, and education experiences), and a more informed public that is better equipped to act as stewards of wildlife resources, particularly avifauna.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00137 and would be issued through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement during the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The funding activity category is Natural Resources under CFDA 15.231. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility language that might appear in the full notice. The opportunity anticipated a single award with a maximum federal funding amount (award ceiling) of $10,000. The posting and creation dates were May 23, 2016, and the application closing date was July 22, 2016.
