Opportunity Summary:
The Sage Grouse Lek Flights in Montana grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: RECOVERY ACT BLM MT RFA10 1719) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior under the CFDA program 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. It was designed to support aerial survey work in Montana focused on sage grouse habitat, specifically targeting watersheds where sage grouse are known to occur but where the locations of active leks (breeding display grounds) had not been confirmed through ground-based efforts. The central purpose was to fly over these watersheds to detect and locate active leks that had not been found active from the ground, improving knowledge of breeding site distribution and supporting better-informed conservation and management actions.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $3,705, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement. The posting date was November 13, 2009, with a closing date of December 14, 2009, and the opportunity was later archived on February 1, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to contact Lori J. Anderson, Grants Management Officer, at landerso@blm.gov.
