Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Design and Evaluate Communication Strategies to Mitigate visitor use impacts at Pelican and Cormorant Non breeding sites," is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Master Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CCESU) cooperative agreement framework. The project sits in the Education activity category and focuses on developing and testing communication approaches that reduce or prevent negative impacts from visitor use at non-breeding sites used by pelicans and cormorants. In practical terms, the work is aimed at understanding how visitor behavior affects sensitive wildlife areas and then designing outreach, messaging, signage, interpretation, or other communication tools that encourage compliance and minimize disturbance, followed by an evaluation of how well those strategies work.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000. The stated award ceiling is $300,000 and the award floor is $25,000, indicating the agency was open to considering proposals at different scales within that range, though only one award was expected. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowers the barrier for applicants who may not have access to non-federal match resources. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management," reflecting its conservation and resource management purpose even though the activity category is listed as Education.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the CCESU model that often leverages university expertise for applied research and management support. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, BLM likely anticipated substantial federal involvement during the project, such as collaboration on study design, review of communication products, coordination with site managers, and shared decision-making around implementation and evaluation.
Key dates show this was a time-limited solicitation posted on June 5, 2008, created the same day, and closed on June 13, 2008, with an archive date of July 13, 2008. That short open period suggests it may have been targeted to a specific community of eligible partners familiar with CCESU processes or an urgent management need tied to seasonal visitation or wildlife sensitivity.
