Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Lichen/Bryophyte habitat analysis and surveys in eastern Oregon and Washington" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work that supports conservation of sensitive lichen and bryophyte species. The central goal is to improve on-the-ground understanding of lichen and bryophyte communities on public lands in eastern Oregon and Washington, with a specific emphasis on biological soil crusts. By building better knowledge of where these communities occur and how they are distributed, the project is intended to inform conservation planning and resource management decisions on lands managed by both the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service (FS).

The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the agency expects substantial involvement or collaboration during the period of performance rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $51,000, with an award ceiling also listed at $51,000 and no stated minimum award amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the notice explains that the recipient was expected to be uniquely qualified through participation in the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. In practical terms, this opportunity was issued under the CESU program framework and targeted to members of the Pacific Northwest CESU, which is a partnership model used by federal agencies to obtain research, technical assistance, and education support for ecosystem-related work.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on August 25, 2008, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2008. The archive date was October 2, 2008, indicating it is a past opportunity that is no longer open. The CFDA listing associated with the program was 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management," placing it within a broader federal assistance category aimed at conserving biological resources.

For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Pamella Sterling, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 503-808-6221. Overall, the announcement describes a small, targeted research and survey effort intended to strengthen the scientific basis for conserving sensitive lichens and bryophytes, especially biological soil crust communities, across BLM and FS lands in eastern Oregon and Washington.
