Opportunity Summary:
The Long Billed Curlew Breeding Success grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00045) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resource monitoring, specifically long-billed curlew breeding success and related field monitoring work. The project is described simply as "Long Billed Curlew Monitoring," indicating that the core purpose was to support efforts to track and evaluate curlew breeding outcomes, which typically includes activities like locating nests, monitoring nest fate, measuring productivity, and documenting habitat conditions that influence reproductive success. The award type was a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond just providing funding, such as coordinating study design, field priorities, data standards, or reporting requirements.
The opportunity was aimed at public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning eligible applicants were public universities and similar state-run academic entities. The announcement did not require cost sharing or matching funds, so applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds to be considered. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $160,000 listed in the source data; however, the stated award ceiling was $20,000 and the award floor was $0, which suggests the agency anticipated making a relatively small individual award under this specific listing, or that the total funding figure may have reflected broader program totals while this particular award was capped lower. The CFDA program associated with the opportunity was 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, aligning the work with federal conservation and wildlife resource management objectives.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on February 28, 2014, with a creation date of March 3, 2014, and an original and final application deadline of March 14, 2014. The announcement was later archived on March 28, 2014. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application package via the "full announcement" tab in the listing, where the detailed scope of work, application requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions would normally be provided.
For help accessing the announcement electronically, the point of contact was Christine Shaver, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 208-373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
