Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Datasets on At Risk Species Habitats" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00226) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on improving the quality, availability, and sharing of data related to habitats for at-risk species and sensitive vegetation communities. The central aim is to bring together federal and state natural resource professionals along with nongovernmental organizations and conservation partners to strengthen plant and wildlife management and conservation efforts across North America. By organizing and sharing reliable habitat and species information, the project is meant to support earlier, more proactive management so that species and vegetation communities of concern can be addressed before they become critically endangered.
A major theme of the opportunity is communication and information sharing. The work is intended to meet national and state needs by improving how agencies and conservation organizations exchange data used to manage fish and wildlife that the public values and enjoys on public lands. The BLM emphasizes that better shared datasets and the knowledge gained from them will improve decision-making for Special Status Species and priority vegetation communities. In practice, this kind of effort typically supports consistent, up-to-date datasets that can be used for planning, environmental review, conservation prioritization, and on-the-ground management actions.
Another key purpose is public benefit and broader participation. The BLM indicates that improved information sharing can encourage more citizen involvement and support for conservation solutions, effectively stretching agency capacity by leveraging partnerships and shared resources. The opportunity also frames the work as a way to enhance the public experience on public lands by helping people become more informed stewards of natural resources. In other words, the grant is not only about internal agency data needs, but also about ensuring that the resulting information can support stronger conservation outcomes and more informed public engagement.
Funding for the opportunity is listed at an estimated total of $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $354,000. The agency expected to make one award, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA program number is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, and the activity categories are education and environment, reflecting both the technical conservation value of the datasets and the broader information-sharing and public stewardship goals.
Eligibility is unusual in that the posting functions as a notice of intent to make an award to NatureServe, and the listing notes "Others" with additional eligibility clarification, but the explicit intent statement indicates the recipient is predetermined rather than open competition. The opportunity was posted and created on August 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2013, and it was archived on October 9, 2013. For official details and access to the full announcement, the listing points to Grants.gov, and the contact provided for assistance is Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer at BLM (202-912-7098, LisaClayton@blm.gov).
