Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Response of Black Rock High Rock Emigrant Trails NCA Springs to Climate Change" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00191) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on understanding how climate change is affecting spring-fed aquatic ecosystems in the Black Rock-High Rock Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area in northern Nevada. The core purpose of the project is to quantify climate-driven changes across three tightly linked components of these spring systems: benthic macroinvertebrate communities (often used as sensitive biological indicators of stream health), water chemistry, and stream channel characteristics. By measuring biological, chemical, and physical conditions together, the project aims to build a more complete picture of how warming temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and shifting hydrology may be changing the structure and function of these desert spring habitats over time.
This funding was offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, indicating that BLM anticipated substantial involvement or collaboration during the project rather than a simple pass-through grant. The work is part of the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (GBCESU), a partnership framework commonly used to connect federal land managers with universities and other research organizations to address applied management questions in the Great Basin. The relevant CFDA listing is 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which aligns with the project’s emphasis on ecosystem monitoring and conservation science in support of land and water resource management.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor were listed as $250,000, signaling that the agency intended to make one award for the full amount rather than multiple smaller awards. No cost sharing or matching was required, which generally lowers barriers to participation and allows applicants to propose work based on scientific and logistical needs rather than on their ability to secure non-federal match funds. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional constraints that could have been included in the full announcement text.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on July 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2010, and an archive date of August 12, 2010. Applicants seeking the complete announcement were directed to Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Susan Kaller, Grants Management Officer, at BLM (775-861-6559; susankaller@blm.gov). Overall, the project is best understood as a targeted climate response and monitoring effort designed to generate defensible, management-relevant data on how rare and ecologically important Great Basin spring ecosystems are responding to climate change pressures.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "Response of Black Rock High Rock Emigrant Trails NCA Springs to Climate Change."
What is the Funding Opportunity Number?
The Funding Opportunity Number is L10AS00191.
Which federal agency is offering this funding?
The funding announcement is from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
What is the main purpose of the project?
The project’s core purpose is to understand and quantify how climate change is affecting spring-fed aquatic ecosystems in the Black Rock-High Rock Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area (NCA) in northern Nevada.
Where will the work take place?
The work focuses on springs within the Black Rock-High Rock Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area in northern Nevada.
What types of environmental changes is the project trying to capture?
The project is designed to help detect climate-driven changes associated with warming temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and shifting hydrology, and how those changes may be influencing desert spring habitats over time.
What specific components of the spring ecosystems will be measured?
The project targets three tightly linked components of spring systems:
- Benthic macroinvertebrate communities
- Water chemistry
- Stream channel characteristics
Why are benthic macroinvertebrates included in the project?
Benthic macroinvertebrate communities are often used as sensitive biological indicators of stream health, making them useful for detecting ecological change in aquatic systems.
