Opportunity Summary:
The "Southeast Utah Bat Survey" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number UT NOI 08 0010) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement intended to support bat surveys and related wildlife resource management work in southeast Utah, specifically within the Monticello Field Office area. The effort is grounded in a long-running cooperative relationship between the BLM and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR), where both agencies collaborate on wildlife surveys, habitat and restoration projects, and the exchange of natural resource information. The core issue driving the project is a major information gap: southeast Utah does not have strong baseline data on which bat species are present and which landscapes, sites, or habitat features are important to bats across different parts of their life cycles.
A central conservation concern is that four bat species in the Monticello Field Office area are listed by the State of Utah as sensitive, yet there is limited knowledge about where these bats occur seasonally, such as where they roost, forage, or move during different times of year. Because seasonal location and habitat-use patterns often determine what areas need protection or special management, the lack of data makes it harder for land managers to proactively conserve key sites. The stated goal is to identify the locations and areas that require protection or careful management so these sensitive bat species can be conserved effectively and, ideally, so that escalating threats do not lead to future listing under the federal Endangered Species Act.
The deliverable emphasis is strongly tied to data management and accessibility. Survey results and associated information are expected to be entered into a Utah database so the information is centrally located and available for coordinated decision-making. In practical terms, this suggests the project is not just about collecting field observations, but also about producing usable, standardized records that can support future planning, habitat protection priorities, and interagency coordination.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, indicating BLM anticipates substantial involvement or partnership in the work rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award amount set at $8,000 (both the ceiling and the floor), and it indicated no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The listing also shows an estimated total funding figure of $50,000, but the specific expected award amount provided for this announcement is $8,000. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types unless further limited by additional eligibility text (none was provided in the excerpt). The program is associated with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The posting timeline shows it was posted July 19, 2008, with a closing date of July 28, 2008, and it was later archived on August 27, 2008.
For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Maria Gochis, Grants and Agreements Specialist (GMO), at 801-539-4178.
