Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Inter Agency Special Status Sensitive Species Program Rare Sequestrate Fungi in SW OR" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00013) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on natural resource conservation and resource management. Its purpose is to support a targeted, strategic field survey of rare, poorly documented hypogeous fungi, meaning fungi that fruit underground. The project is specifically aimed at improving knowledge of these "sequestrate" fungi in Southwest Oregon, with an emphasis on habitats that have historically been under surveyed, particularly hardwood forests and mixed conifer stands. In practical terms, the work is meant to locate, document, and better understand the distribution of sensitive or special-status subterranean fungi that are difficult to detect and therefore often missing from standard biodiversity inventories.
This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination on survey design, priority locations, data standards, reporting expectations, and how results are incorporated into agency planning. The program sits within the broader Interagency Special Status/Sensitive Species framework, which is commonly used by federal land management agencies to identify and conserve species that may be rare, vulnerable, or otherwise of management concern. By funding a strategic survey rather than general research, the intent is likely to generate actionable, site-specific information that can inform land management decisions, conservation priorities, and future monitoring efforts in the region.
Funding for the project is modest but meaningful for a focused survey effort. The estimated total funding is $95,000, with an award ceiling of $95,000 and an award floor of $25,000. The BLM anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with this program is 15.231, listed as "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management," reflecting that the work is part of federal conservation and stewardship activities rather than purely academic research.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the applicant would generally be a state university or public college capable of conducting field-based biological surveys and managing a federal cooperative agreement. The posting date and creation date were both April 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2010. The opportunity was archived on June 30, 2010, which indicates it is no longer open for applications, but the details still describe the scope and administrative structure of the award that was competed at the time.
