Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Diurnal Raptor Monitoring in the Goshute Peak WSA and Environmental Education" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00283) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resource conservation and public education tied to raptor research. The core purpose was to support monitoring of daytime (diurnal) raptor migration in the Goshute Peak Wilderness Study Area (WSA) while also incorporating an environmental education component. The project rationale is that consistent migration counts, along with morphometric measurements collected from banded raptors, can reveal both short-term and long-term trends. Those trends can then be used as practical indicators to evaluate how well land management actions are working at multiple scales, ranging from a specific local site to broader landscape and regional contexts.
From a technical standpoint, the opportunity emphasized two complementary data streams: (1) standardized counts of migrating raptors and (2) morphometric data from captured and banded birds. Migration counts help track changes in abundance, timing, and species composition over time, while morphometric data (such as measurements of body size and condition) can provide additional insight into population structure, health, and potential environmental pressures. By combining these datasets, project partners can build a stronger evidence base for interpreting how habitat conditions, land use, and management decisions may be influencing raptor populations and migration dynamics. The environmental education element suggests the project was also intended to translate monitoring work into outreach, training, or learning opportunities for the public or specific audiences, reinforcing stewardship and awareness of raptor conservation.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement or partnership from the federal agency during project execution rather than a simple pass-through grant. The program fell under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. BLM expected to make one award. The estimated total funding listed was $65,249, while the award ceiling and floor were both stated as $18,000, indicating a fixed award amount for the recipient under this particular announcement listing. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, with specific mention that nonprofit organizations were eligible, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on July 30, 2014, with an application closing date of August 15, 2014, and it was archived on August 29, 2014, reflecting a short application window typical of certain targeted field projects or time-sensitive seasonal monitoring efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Diurnal Raptor Monitoring in the Goshute Peak WSA and Environmental Education (L14AS00283)
What is the title of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled Diurnal Raptor Monitoring in the Goshute Peak WSA and Environmental Education.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON)?
The Funding Opportunity Number is L14AS00283.
Which federal agency offered this opportunity?
This was a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
What was the main purpose of the project?
The core purpose was to support monitoring of diurnal (daytime) raptor migration in the Goshute Peak Wilderness Study Area (WSA), while also incorporating an environmental education component tied to raptor conservation.
What conservation or management need did the project address?
The rationale was that consistent migration counts and morphometric measurements from banded raptors can show short-term and long-term trends. Those trends can be used as practical indicators to evaluate how well land management actions are working across multiple scales, from a local site to landscape and regional levels.
What does "diurnal raptor monitoring" mean in this context?
It refers to monitoring and counting raptors that migrate during the day, focusing on migration movements observed at the Goshute Peak WSA.
What technical work or data collection did the announcement emphasize?
The opportunity emphasized two complementary data streams:
- Standardized counts of migrating raptors
- Morphometric data collected from captured and banded birds
Why were standardized migration counts important?
Migration counts were intended to help track changes over time in abundance, timing, and species composition of migrating raptors.
What is morphometric data, and why was it included?
Morphometric data refers to measurements related to body size and condition. The announcement indicated these measurements can add insight into population structure, health, and potential environmental pressures affecting raptors.
How do the two data streams work together?
By combining migration counts with morphometric measurements from banded birds, partners can build a stronger evidence base to interpret how habitat conditions, land use, and management decisions may influence raptor populations and migration dynamics.
What was the environmental education component supposed to do?
The environmental education element suggested the project was also intended to translate monitoring work into outreach, training, or learning opportunities for the public or specific audiences, supporting stewardship and awareness of raptor conservation.
What type of award was offered (grant vs. cooperative agreement)?
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement.
What does a cooperative agreement imply about BLM's role?
It typically indicates substantial involvement or partnership from the federal agency during project execution, rather than a simple pass-through grant.
What CFDA program was this opportunity associated with?
The opportunity fell under CFDA 15.231, titled Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
How many awards did BLM expect to make?
BLM expected to make one award.
What was the estimated total funding listed for the opportunity?
