Opportunity Summary:
The "Centennial Resurvey Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00098) was a discretionary grant offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support an education-oriented conservation and resource management project focused on the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument. The core purpose of the project was to conduct a resurvey of the monument's vertebrate wildlife, with an emphasis on improving understanding of how species demographics and distributions are responding to climate change. By repeating and updating earlier survey work, the project aimed to produce a clearer, contemporary picture of which vertebrate species are present, where they occur, and how their populations may be shifting over time.
The opportunity was designed to generate practical, long-term value for wildlife and land management. Specifically, the resurvey was intended to update the status and distribution information for all vertebrate species in the region, which typically includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes where applicable. Beyond simply collecting field observations, the project was also expected to help standardize "metrics of change" so that future resurveys and monitoring efforts can be compared consistently over time. In other words, it sought to move toward repeatable methods and indicators that make trend detection easier, whether trends are driven by climate, habitat change, human use, fire regimes, or other stressors. A further deliverable described in the announcement was the development of open-access information retrieval, pointing to an expectation that results, datasets, or summaries would be organized in a way that supports public access and broader scientific or management use rather than remaining locked in internal files.
Funding for the project was relatively small and tightly defined. BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $10,000, indicating a single fixed-size grant rather than a range of possible budgets. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support to be eligible, although applicants often still choose to leverage other resources to strengthen a proposal.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The activity category was listed as Education, while the CFDA number (15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) reflects the natural resource conservation focus and the federal assistance program under which the funds were offered. The timeline shows the opportunity was posted and created on May 16, 2012, with an original and final closing date of June 15, 2012, and it was archived on July 2, 2012, meaning it was a time-limited competition and is no longer open.
For applicants or interested parties at the time, the full announcement and application materials were accessible through Grants.gov (the listing referenced an additional information link to http://www.grants.gov). The named contact for assistance was Andralee Holden Hughes, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 951-697-5254 and by email at jholden@blm.gov, with the notice also indicating that those who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically could contact the GMO directly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the "Centennial Resurvey Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument" grant opportunity?
It is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00098. The project focus is an education-oriented conservation and resource management effort centered on the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument.
What is the main purpose of this grant?
The core purpose is to conduct a resurvey of the monument's vertebrate wildlife to improve understanding of how species demographics and distributions are responding to climate change. By repeating and updating earlier survey work, the project is meant to produce a current, clearer picture of which vertebrate species are present, where they occur, and how populations may be shifting over time.
What types of animals are included in the term "vertebrate wildlife" for this project?
The resurvey is intended to update status and distribution information for all vertebrate species in the region. Vertebrates typically include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes where applicable.
How does this project relate to climate change?
A specific emphasis of the resurvey is improving understanding of how species demographics and distributions are responding to climate change. The repeated survey approach is intended to help identify changes over time that may be consistent with climate-driven shifts.
Why is the project described as a "resurvey"?
The work is intended to repeat and update earlier survey efforts. This approach allows comparisons between past and current conditions to better detect changes in species presence, distribution, and potential population shifts.
What practical outcomes or long-term value is the project expected to provide?
The grant is framed around producing practical, long-term value for wildlife and land management by updating vertebrate status and distribution information, improving the ability to compare monitoring results over time, and supporting broader access to information for scientific and management use.
What are "metrics of change," and why are they part of the project?
"Metrics of change" refers to standardized indicators and repeatable methods that make it easier to compare results across different survey periods. The project was expected to help standardize these metrics so that future resurveys and monitoring efforts can be consistently compared over time, improving trend detection.
What kinds of trends or drivers of change does the grant mention?
The opportunity notes that trend detection may relate to drivers such as climate, habitat change, human use, fire regimes, or other stressors. The emphasis is on enabling consistent comparison over time rather than attributing change to only one factor.
Is the project expected to produce publicly accessible outputs?
