Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Climate Change Vulnerability Study Selected Waterbodies with BLM Islands in Wisconsin" (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM WO RFA L12AS00089). The basic aim of the project was to support field and analytical work that gathers hydrological and ecological information from selected Wisconsin waterbodies that contain BLM-managed islands, then use those data to monitor conditions and build models that help predict or explain how climate change may affect these aquatic systems over time. In practical terms, the project focus is on establishing or improving a scientific baseline and producing defensible monitoring and modeling outputs that can inform future conservation and resource-management decisions connected to fish, wildlife, plants, and associated habitats.
This opportunity was classified under the Environment funding activity category and tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The BLM anticipated making up to two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000 across all awards. Individual awards could range from a minimum (award floor) of $20,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $350,000, meaning one larger project or a couple of smaller-to-mid-sized projects were both plausible within the stated limits. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Only certain applicant types were eligible: state governments and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. This eligibility aligns with the cooperative agreement structure, which is commonly used when the federal agency expects substantial involvement or collaboration during the project, such as coordination on study design, access to federal lands or sites (in this case, BLM islands), data standards, monitoring protocols, and interpretation of results for management use.
Key dates for the announcement were also clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on May 10, 2012, with a creation date of May 14, 2012. The application deadline (original and current closing date) was June 11, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on July 11, 2012. While these dates indicate the solicitation is long closed, they also give a clear picture of the original application window and the timing of the federal posting process.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 202-912-709 and by email at lisaclayton@blm.gov. Additional posting details were available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice.
