Opportunity Summary:
The "Flammulated Owl in Montana" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM MT NOI09 1534) is a U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice focused on field-based wildlife conservation work in Montana. It was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating methods, providing oversight, or participating in key decisions while the recipient carries out the on-the-ground work. The program area falls under natural resources, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
The project purpose is straightforward and practical: locate flammulated owl nests and monitor those nesting sites until the nestlings fledge. In other words, the funded work is aimed at finding active nests of this small, nocturnal owl species and then conducting follow-up monitoring through the breeding season to document nest outcomes through the point when young birds leave the nest. Activities implied by this scope usually include systematic surveys in suitable habitat, verification of nest locations, repeated site visits or monitoring checks, and careful documentation of nesting status and success, all conducted in a way that minimizes disturbance to the birds.
Funding was limited and targeted. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000, and the award ceiling was also $15,000, indicating the maximum possible award was the full amount available. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement on Grants.gov. That kind of eligibility language generally allows a wide range of potential applicants, such as universities, nonprofit organizations, state or local agencies, tribal entities, and sometimes private organizations or individuals, depending on the specific terms in the full posting.
The opportunity was posted on August 17, 2009, with the same creation date, and it had an application closing date of September 1, 2009. The listing was later archived on October 15, 2009, which indicates the announcement is no longer active and was tied to that specific funding cycle. The official additional information was available through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov), which is where the full announcement, application instructions, and any required forms would have been hosted at the time.
For help accessing the full announcement or related materials, the listed contact person was Lori J. Anderson, reachable by email at landerso@blm.gov, with the contact line indicating an association with the BLM grants management function (GMO).
