Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Hornyhead Chub Distribution, Abundance, Habitat Use in the Lower Laramie River Drainage" (Funding Opportunity Number WY NOI08 9018), is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources research and conservation. The project is set up as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the work, such as coordinating study priorities, reviewing methods or products, and staying engaged as the research progresses rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
The core purpose of the project is to investigate the hornyhead chub in the Lower Laramie River Drainage by documenting where the species occurs (distribution), how many are present or how population levels vary (abundance), and how the fish uses different parts of the river system (habitat use). In practice, this kind of study often supports broader fish and aquatic habitat management decisions, such as identifying key reaches for conservation, understanding habitat features tied to occupancy or higher densities, and informing future restoration or monitoring plans. The announcement is specifically aimed at generating field-based information that can be used in BLM resource management and fish conservation efforts under the relevant federal program area for Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management (CFDA 15.231).
BLM states its intent to award the cooperative agreement to Colorado State University, indicating the recipient is effectively pre-identified, even though the eligible applicant category is listed more broadly as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipates a single award. The estimated total funding is $77,000, and the award ceiling is also $77,000 (with an award floor of $0), meaning the maximum expected amount for the award is $77,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The anticipated project length is three years, with a hard limit on the total project period of 37 months. Continued funding is not automatic; BLM notes it would consider continued funding based on two main conditions: first, whether the recipient demonstrates progress that BLM considers satisfactory toward the program goals and whether BLM determines continuation serves the government’s best interest; and second, whether funds remain available. This establishes an expectation of measurable progress and performance during the multi-year period, with continuation tied to both results and federal budget realities.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on August 20, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2008, and an archive date of October 2, 2008. The listed contact for assistance accessing the full announcement is Ilze Karklins Powers, Grants and Agreements Specialist and Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 307-775-6293.
