Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Oil and Gas Development Effects on Mule Deer in North Dakota" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00066) to support research aimed at understanding how oil and gas development may be affecting mule deer populations in selected areas of North Dakota. The main purpose of the project is to generate reliable, on-the-ground information about potential impacts from energy development, which can then be used to inform wildlife management decisions and land-use planning in areas experiencing or anticipating increased oil and gas activity.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the award would likely involve active collaboration between the recipient and the federal agency rather than a simple pass-through grant. The work falls under the Natural Resources category, with the CFDA listing 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which aligns with projects focused on conserving wildlife and managing natural resources through applied research and monitoring. The announcement indicates the government expected to make one award, signaling a single, focused study or coordinated research effort rather than multiple smaller projects.
Funding for the project was modest but targeted: the estimated total funding was $55,000, and the award ceiling was also $55,000. The opportunity listed an award floor of $2,500, which generally indicates the agency was willing to consider smaller budgets, though the expectation of a single award suggests the recipient would likely propose a project near the top end to cover fieldwork, data collection, analysis, and reporting. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which points to universities or similar public academic entities as the intended applicants. That eligibility restriction fits the research-oriented nature of the project, as universities commonly have the expertise and capacity for designing studies, conducting wildlife monitoring, analyzing ecological data, and producing management-relevant findings.
Key dates show this was a time-limited competition in 2012: it was posted and created on April 5, 2012, with an original and final closing date of May 6, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on June 1, 2012, indicating it is no longer open and is retained for recordkeeping and reference.
For application materials, the announcement directed applicants to download the full instructions and application package via the "Applications" tab associated with the posting. The listed point of contact for access issues was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer (GMO) at the BLM, reachable by phone at 406-896-5196 or by email at landerso@blm.gov.
