Opportunity Summary:

The Golden Eagle Dietary Study (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00322) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity focused on natural resources management within the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area (NCA). The core purpose of the project was to protect and maintain golden eagle populations in the NCA by supporting work that improves understanding of what golden eagles are eating and, by extension, how prey availability and habitat conditions may be influencing eagle health, reproduction, and long-term population stability.

Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to remain actively involved with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity anticipated making one award. The announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $40,000, with an award ceiling of $32,000 and no stated award floor (effectively allowing smaller proposed budgets if justified). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match to be eligible.

Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, signaling that the project was intended for universities or similar publicly governed academic entities with the capability to carry out field research, ecological data collection, and analysis. The funding was associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which aligns with conservation-driven research and management actions on public lands.

Key administrative dates indicate this was a time-limited 2014 opportunity. It was posted and created on August 19, 2014, with an original and final closing date of August 29, 2014, and it was later archived on October 31, 2014. Applicants were directed to obtain the full announcement and application instructions via the application materials link referenced in the notice. For access issues or administrative questions, the point of contact was Christine Shaver, Grants Management Officer, reachable at (208) 373-3817 or cshaver@blm.gov.
