Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Rare Plant Study, Alaska" (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM AK NOI 10 1751), was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the natural resources area. The work focuses on Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A) and is aimed at improving how BLM understands and manages rare plant resources in a region where oil and other resource development can create direct and indirect impacts on sensitive habitats.
The central objective of the project is to build quantitative distribution models for 31 rare vascular plant species found in the NPR-A. In practical terms, this means using available field observations and environmental data to predict where these rare plant species are most likely to occur across the landscape. The results are intended to give BLM better planning tools so it can avoid or minimize harm to rare plant populations when considering exploration, infrastructure placement, and other development-related decisions. By strengthening the science behind where these plants occur and what habitats support them, the project also supports conservation planning that could reduce the likelihood that any of these species would need to be formally listed under the Endangered Species Act due to unmanaged or poorly understood threats.
This announcement represents a renewal of an existing agreement (L08AC14984), which signals that the work is part of an ongoing effort rather than a brand-new standalone study. The funding amount listed is relatively small and tightly defined, with an estimated total funding of $17,102 and an award floor of $17,102, indicating the expectation of a single award at that amount. Consistent with that, the opportunity anticipated only one award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the research-oriented nature of the task and the expectation that the recipient would have technical expertise in botany, ecology, geospatial analysis, and statistical habitat modeling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute additional funds to receive the award.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of November 4, 2009, with an application closing date of December 4, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on December 30, 2009. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. Further information was made available through Grants.gov, and the listed contact for access issues was Sandra S. Smith at s2smith@blm.gov.
