Opportunity Summary:
The Golden Eagle Genetic Deomgraphy Study (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00200) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement through a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) partnership. It focused on improving the scientific foundation BLM needs to conserve golden eagles in the Mojave Desert and to make better-informed land use and permitting decisions, especially in areas where renewable energy development is being proposed.
The core purpose of the project was to resolve major information gaps about Mojave Desert golden eagles that were slowing project permitting and complicating compliance decisions under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act regulations, including the 2009 rule’s “no net loss” standard. BLM stated that it lacked reliable information on population demographics, baseline (background) mortality rates, and how Mojave eagles are genetically related to golden eagle populations in other regions. By filling those gaps, the study was intended to support defensible impact assessments and mitigation planning tied to renewable energy development and other land management actions.
Applicants were expected to design and carry out research that addressed all required objectives. Those objectives included determining whether the Mojave population shows genetic uniqueness compared to other populations, and documenting key demographic and breeding-territory metrics such as nest site occupancy, nest durability (whether nests persist and remain usable over time), fidelity to territories (whether birds return to and maintain the same territories), fidelity within breeding pairs (pair stability across seasons), turnover rates (how often territory holders or pairs change), and mortality rates. Beyond these required elements, the solicitation allowed for the collection of additional baseline data on Mojave golden eagles if it strengthened the overall demographic and conservation picture.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000. The award ceiling was $300,000 and the award floor was $125,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the CESU-style collaboration approach and the technical demands of genetic and demographic field research. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), and the activity category was listed as Education, consistent with research and applied conservation science conducted through academic partners.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on July 27, 2012, with an application deadline of August 27, 2012, and it was archived on September 4, 2012. The grants.gov listing served as the additional information link, and BLM provided a grants management point of contact for access issues: Andralee Holden Hughes, Grants Management Officer (951-697-5254, jholden@blm.gov).
