Opportunity Summary:
The Montana Grouse Genetics grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM MT RFA09 1570) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, aimed at supporting a conservation genetics project focused on grouse populations in Montana. The work was intended to generate detailed genetic information that could be used directly for wildlife conservation and management decisions, specifically by evaluating the extent of genetic mixing (introgression) between Sharp-tailed Grouse and Sage Grouse. The project description emphasizes the use of two standard genetic marker approaches, microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA, to help determine whether, where, and to what degree hybridization or gene flow between these species may be occurring.
The opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government expected to have substantial involvement in the project during performance rather than simply issuing a stand-alone grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number associated with the funding was 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $35,000 and an award ceiling of $35,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally lowers barriers to participation for applicants who may not have additional funding to contribute.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The notice was posted on August 17, 2009, and the application deadline was September 1, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on October 1, 2009. Applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to contact Lori J. Anderson at landerso@blm.gov. Additional information and the full listing were available through Grants.gov at the link provided in the notice.
