Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Vegetation Conditions of Sagebrush Habitat around Sage Grouse Leks" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00148) was a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management focused on natural resources and habitat conservation. The core purpose of the project was to establish a baseline description of habitat characteristics and overall vegetation conditions in sagebrush ecosystems on and near Greater Sage Grouse leks, relying specifically on data that had been collected in 1992 and 1993. In practical terms, the work was meant to support a clearer understanding of what sage grouse lek habitat looked like at that time, creating a reference point that could be used for later comparisons, monitoring, and management decisions tied to sage grouse conservation and sagebrush ecosystem stewardship.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period (for example, coordination on methods, data standards, reporting, or integration with agency datasets and management priorities). The opportunity anticipated making a single award and did not require cost sharing or matching funds from the recipient, reducing financial barriers for eligible applicants. Only state governments were eligible to apply, signaling that the BLM intended the project to be carried out by state-level partners with relevant wildlife or habitat management responsibilities and capacity to manage historical datasets and field or analytical work tied to sage grouse lek environments.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $75,000, while also indicating an award floor and ceiling of $16,000. That combination suggests either a specific award amount was planned for the agreement itself or that the announcement contained additional context in the full application package about how funds would be allocated (for example, base funding with potential additional increments, related tasks, or multiple funding components). The program was associated with CFDA number 15.231, "Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management," which aligns with the focus on conserving species habitat and managing vegetation resources tied to federal land and wildlife conservation objectives.
The announcement was posted and created on July 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2012, and it was archived on September 1, 2012. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement instructions and application package via the application tab referenced in the listing. For access issues or administrative questions, the point of contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, Bureau of Land Management, reachable by phone at 406-896-5196 and by email at landerso@blm.gov.
