Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary natural resources funding opportunity titled "Songbird Population Monitoring Bishop Field Office" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00010). The award was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency participation. The project focus was on monitoring songbird populations and the habitat conditions that influence them, particularly in connection with habitat management treatments carried out in the Bishop Field Office area.
The core purpose of the opportunity was to support PRBO (commonly referring to PRBO Conservation Science, historically the Point Reyes Bird Observatory) in establishing baseline data and carrying out monitoring both before and after habitat management actions ("pre and post treatment" monitoring). In practical terms, this means documenting bird populations and relevant environmental conditions prior to habitat projects, then returning afterward to measure how those projects affected songbird abundance, distribution, and habitat quality. Beyond those treatment-specific studies, the work also emphasized continuing long-term monitoring to track trends over time and to better understand the ongoing factors affecting songbirds and their habitats. A key component included habitat and vegetation monitoring at selected bird monitoring sites, paired with analysis of habitat relationships as defined by individual project proposals. This implies the recipient would not only collect field data (birds, vegetation, and site conditions) but also analyze and interpret how habitat variables relate to songbird presence, breeding activity, or population changes, depending on the specific site objectives.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $220,000, with an award ceiling of $220,000 and a floor of $1,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds to be competitive or eligible. The CFDA program number listed was 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management," aligning the project with broader federal conservation and resource management goals.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The announcement was posted and created on April 5, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2010, and it was archived on April 30, 2010. Additional details were available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 530-252-5338 or by email at lparker@blm.gov.
