Opportunity Summary:
The Powder River Basin Sage Grouse Land Cover opportunity is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding announcement from the Wyoming State Office focused on natural resource research and conservation planning. The intent is to fund a single cooperative agreement, specifically contemplated with the University of Montana, to study how coal bed natural gas development affects sage grouse populations (demographics) and how development-related activity changes the surrounding landscape. The practical goal is not simply to document impacts, but to translate the findings into conservation planning tools that can guide decision-making so energy development can proceed while still protecting sage grouse habitat and supporting the species long-term.
A central piece of the proposed 2008 to 2009 work is land-cover classification using SPOT 5 satellite imagery for the BLM Buffalo Field Office area. In other words, the project is expected to convert satellite data into usable habitat and land-cover maps and related analytical products that help assess sage grouse conditions across the landscape. Because sage grouse are sensitive to habitat fragmentation and disturbance, this kind of imagery-based classification is commonly used to track vegetation patterns, surface disturbance, and broader landscape change, which can then be related to observed or measured changes in sage grouse distribution, survival, or reproduction.
The agreement is designed as a relatively short, applied research effort with an anticipated project length of about 12 to 18 months, and the award explicitly limits the total project period to no more than 18 months. While the announcement notes the BLM may consider continued funding, that would depend on two main factors: first, whether the recipient demonstrates progress that the BLM considers satisfactory toward the program goals and whether continuation is in the government’s best interest, and second, whether funds are available. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to participate.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number WY NOI08 9015 and aligns with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). It was posted and created on August 14, 2008, with an application closing date of August 28, 2008, and an archive date of September 27, 2008. The BLM expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $275,000 and an award ceiling of $275,000 (with a listed floor of $0). Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the intent to support a university-led research and tool-development effort. The listed point of contact for access issues with the full announcement is Ilze Karklins Powers, Grants and Agreements Specialist / Grants Management Officer, reachable at 307-775-6293.
FAQs: Powder River Basin Sage Grouse Land Cover (BLM Wyoming State Office)
What is the Powder River Basin Sage Grouse Land Cover opportunity?
It is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding announcement from the Wyoming State Office focused on natural resource research and conservation planning. The work centers on understanding how coal bed natural gas development affects sage grouse populations and how development-related activity changes the surrounding landscape, with the intent to convert findings into conservation planning tools.
Which BLM office is offering this funding announcement?
The opportunity is issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The purpose is applied research and tool development: (1) study how coal bed natural gas development affects sage grouse demographics, (2) examine how development-related activity changes surrounding land cover and landscape conditions, and (3) translate those findings into conservation planning tools that support decision-making so energy development can proceed while still protecting sage grouse habitat over the long term.
What kind of award is expected?
The announcement anticipates funding a single cooperative agreement.
How many awards does BLM expect to make?
BLM expected to make one award.
Is a specific recipient identified or contemplated?
Yes. The announcement specifically contemplates a cooperative agreement with the University of Montana.
What is the estimated total funding amount?
The estimated total funding amount is $275,000.
What is the maximum award amount (award ceiling)?
The award ceiling is $275,000.
Is there a minimum award amount (award floor)?
The listed award floor is $0.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The information provided states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to participate.
How long is the project period?
The anticipated project length is about 12 to 18 months, and the total project period is explicitly limited to no more than 18 months.
Can the project be extended or receive continued funding?
The BLM may consider continued funding, but only if (1) the recipient demonstrates progress that BLM considers satisfactory toward the program goals and continuation is in the government's best interest, and (2) funds are available.
What work is emphasized for the 2008 to 2009 period?
A central component is land-cover classification using SPOT 5 satellite imagery for the BLM Buffalo Field Office area, producing habitat and land-cover maps and related analytical products to assess sage grouse conditions across the landscape.
What is SPOT 5 imagery being used for in this project?
SPOT 5 satellite imagery is expected to be converted into usable land-cover and habitat classification outputs (maps and analytical products). These kinds of products can support assessment of vegetation patterns, surface disturbance, and broader landscape change relevant to sage grouse habitat sensitivity to fragmentation and disturbance.
Which geographic area is specifically mentioned for the land-cover classification work?
The land-cover classification is specified for the BLM Buffalo Field Office area.
What species is the project focused on?
The project focuses on sage grouse and their habitat conditions in relation to energy development.
What type of energy development is specifically mentioned?
Coal bed natural gas development is specifically referenced.
Is the project intended only to document impacts?
No. The intent is not simply to document impacts, but to translate research findings into conservation planning tools that can guide decision-making while supporting long-term sage grouse habitat protection.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligible applicants are limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number?
The Funding Opportunity Number is WY NOI08 9015.
