Opportunity Summary:
The JFS Regional Consortium grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00024) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on research and development tied to wildland fire issues in grassland systems. The specific project theme was "Great Plains and Midwestern Grassland Fire Grazing," which signals an emphasis on understanding how fire and grazing interact across prairie and grassland landscapes in the Great Plains and Midwest. In practical terms, opportunities like this typically support applied science that can inform land management decisions, such as how prescribed fire, wildfire, and different grazing practices influence fuels, fire behavior, vegetation recovery, habitat conditions, and longer-term ecosystem resilience.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. Cooperative agreements are often used when the agency anticipates collaboration on project direction, data sharing, or coordination with broader regional initiatives. The activity category was listed as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the program was associated with CFDA 15.232, the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program. That pairing indicates the award was meant to contribute to the scientific understanding of wildland fire or to develop practical tools, methods, or findings that improve fire-related management and planning.
This opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $10,242. The award ceiling was also $10,242, and the award floor was $0, meaning the maximum anticipated award was modest and the minimum was not formally set. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, so the competition was aimed at state universities and similar public academic institutions that could carry out research related to fire and grazing in grassland environments.
Key timing details were straightforward: the notice was posted and created on February 14, 2011, and the application deadline was March 1, 2011, with the opportunity later archived on April 14, 2011. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Christine K. Shaver, Lead Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 208-373-3817 or by email at christineshaver@blm.gov.
