Opportunity Summary:

The Climate Change Species Management Model for Washington State grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00040) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category. The central goal of the project was to compile and organize the data needed to forecast how climate change could alter Washington State wildlife populations, wildlife habitat, and the connectivity corridors that allow species to move between habitats. In practical terms, the work was aimed at supporting better management decisions by anticipating where species and suitable habitats may shift over time, and how landscape connections might strengthen or break down under future conditions.

A key deliverable implied by the announcement is a species management modeling framework built around integrated mapping products. These maps were expected to project future geographic ranges for wildlife using multiple assumptions, including different climate models and land-use scenarios. That emphasis on scenario-based projections suggests the project was designed to help managers compare alternative futures (for example, warmer/drier versus warmer/wetter trajectories, or varying degrees of development and land conversion) and see how each could influence species distributions and the continuity of movement corridors. By combining wildlife, habitat, and connectivity considerations, the project reflects a broader climate adaptation approach: not only identifying where habitat might exist in the future, but also whether species can realistically reach and use it.

The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The total estimated funding amount listed was $100,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $18,000 as stated in the source information. No cost sharing or matching was required, which typically reduces barriers to entry for applicants because they are not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of receiving an award. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement’s eligibility section.

Important dates for this opportunity indicate it was posted and created on March 7, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 30, 2012. The archive date was March 6, 2013, indicating it is no longer active. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, which aligns with the project’s focus on environmental planning and resource management under changing climate conditions.

For applicants needing the complete application package and detailed instructions, the notice directed users to the “Application” tab in the original posting. Technical assistance and access help were provided through a named BLM contact: Teresa Spickerman, reachable at (503) 808-6243 or via email at tespicke@blm.gov.
