Opportunity Summary:
The Remote Automatic Weather Station (RAWS) Standards Research grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00235) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program (CFDA 15.232). It was a discretionary grant focused on natural resources and fire-weather support, with the central purpose of developing or improving standards and practical guidelines for fire weather stations. The scope specifically called out stations tied to the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS), including Fire RAWS sites as well as manual NFDRS weather stations, with the intent of strengthening consistency, reliability, and usability of weather observations that support wildland fire operations and fire danger rating.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $16,000. The award ceiling was $16,000 and the award floor was $2,500, meaning proposals could range from small, targeted efforts to a full project proposal up to the total available amount. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowered the barrier for applicants who might not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that might have been provided in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The posting date and creation date were both July 30, 2010, and the application deadline (original and current closing date) was August 24, 2010. The funding instrument type was a grant, rather than a contract, signaling that BLM was seeking project-based work that advances public-purpose outcomes (in this case, fire-weather station standards and guidance) rather than procuring a commercial service.
Applicants were directed to consult the full opportunity details through Grants.gov (link provided as www.grants.gov). For help accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 406-896-5196 or by email at landerso@blm.gov.
