Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary funding opportunity, issued as a cooperative agreement, to support a project focused on understanding how feral horses and livestock grazing affect greater sage-grouse and the habitats the species depends on. The work falls under the natural resources category and is intended to generate applied research and/or technical assessment results that can inform on-the-ground management decisions tied to sage-grouse conservation and habitat condition across BLM-managed landscapes.
This opportunity was released through the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (GB CESU) program, which is a partnership-based framework used by federal agencies to collaborate with external organizations on research, technical assistance, and education. While eligibility is listed as “unrestricted†(open to any type of entity), applicants are still expected to align with any specific eligibility clarifications in the full announcement and to be able to participate under the CESU partnership approach, which typically emphasizes collaborative science, practical deliverables, and close coordination with agency staff.
BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award size was expected to range from a floor of $100,000 up to a ceiling of $500,000, and the announcement indicated that there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, the project would likely involve substantial involvement by BLM during performance, such as coordination on study design, access to relevant data or field sites, review of interim products, and alignment of deliverables with management needs.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on August 1, 2014, with an application deadline of August 15, 2014, and it was archived on September 15, 2014. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which signals the broader federal assistance purpose area connected to conserving wildlife and habitats through resource management and science-based decision support.
Applicants were directed to obtain the full announcement and application package via the “Application†tab referenced in the listing.
