Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Ground Based Population Surveys for Landbirds in National Petroleum Reserve Alaska (NPR-A)" under Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00087. The project focuses on conducting on-the-ground field research and population surveys for multiple species of landbirds within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The work is framed as part of a broader cooperative effort called the Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey, which involves collaboration with other federal agencies, state partners, and non-government organizations operating in Alaska. In practical terms, the funded work is meant to contribute standardized field data that supports long-term monitoring and conservation-oriented management of landbird populations in a large, remote, and ecologically significant landscape.
In terms of administrative details, this was a grant (not a contract) and falls within the natural resources activity category. It was associated with CFDA number 15.231, which corresponds to Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. BLM anticipated making one award under this opportunity. The estimated total funding amount listed for the opportunity was $53,000, while the award amount specified in the notice was fixed at $10,300 (both the award ceiling and award floor were $10,300), which indicates the agency expected a single award at that exact level for the described scope, or that this posting covered one discrete funding action within a larger set of related activities.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to essentially any applicant type (for example, universities, nonprofits, tribal entities, private organizations, or government partners), subject to any clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement under the section labeled "Additional Information on Eligibility." The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching, so applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The timing for this opportunity was straightforward and relatively short. It was posted and created on May 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2012. The notice was later archived on June 30, 2012. Applicants were directed to retrieve the full announcement instructions and application package through the "APPLICATION" tab referenced in the listing, which would typically include the detailed scope of work, reporting requirements, evaluation criteria, period of performance, data standards, and any specific logistical or safety expectations tied to fieldwork in NPR-A.
For help accessing the full announcement electronically, BLM provided a point of contact: Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 907-271-5193 or by email at s2smith@blm.gov.
