Opportunity Summary:
The BLUNT NOSED LEOPARD LIZARD HABITAT MODEL opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00195) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the broader federal program area of Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management (CFDA 15.231). The central aim was to build a habitat model and analysis that clearly explains which environmental and landscape factors are most closely associated with the presence and suitability of habitat for the blunt-nosed leopard lizard. The stated intent was practical and decision-focused: the resulting analysis needed to be strong and understandable enough to directly support land-use decisions, species recovery planning, and related resource management or conservation planning efforts.
Funding was limited and targeted. BLM expected to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $100,000 and a floor of $10,000, indicating some flexibility in the final award size depending on the proposed scope and approach. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically makes participation easier for eligible institutions because they are not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was restricted to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, suggesting BLM was looking for an academically grounded team with research capacity, data-handling expertise, and the ability to deliver a defensible analytical product. Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants would generally be expected to coordinate more closely with BLM during the project. In practice, that often means the agency may have substantial involvement in shaping deliverables, providing data, reviewing methods, or ensuring the model outputs align with management needs and policy or planning contexts.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted July 25, 2012, originally set to close August 21, 2012, and then extended with a current closing date of September 12, 2012 (with the extension explicitly noted). The archive date was September 21, 2012, placing it firmly as a historical opportunity rather than an open solicitation. The funding activity category was listed as Education, which fits with a university-led research and modeling effort even though the core outcome was an applied conservation planning tool.
Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov, and BLM provided a specific contact for assistance accessing the announcement: Andralee Holden Hughes, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 951-697-5254 and jholden@blm.gov. Overall, the opportunity focused on producing a rigorous, management-ready habitat correlates analysis and model for a sensitive species, with the explicit goal of improving how land use and recovery decisions are informed by habitat science.
