Opportunity Summary:
The Wildlife Sensitive Species Surveys in Support of Energy Development opportunity is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office discretionary funding notice for a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work tied to oil and gas development areas. The project is designed to support on-the-ground surveys and learning activities that build a stronger baseline understanding of how wildlife, including sensitive species, interact with existing oil and gas field operations. A central purpose is educational: the agreement is intended to provide direct training and professional development benefits to working members of the Wyoming Conservation Corps (WCC) by involving them in field-based wildlife survey and monitoring efforts connected to energy development landscapes.
BLM indicates it intends to make a single award, and the award is specifically framed around partnering with the University of Wyoming and the Wyoming Conservation Corps. The eligible applicant category listed is public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with the University of Wyoming as the intended recipient/partner. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the work (for example, coordination, oversight, or collaboration on project direction), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
The project is planned as a two-year effort, with the overall project period capped at 24 months. While the initial intent is a two-year period, BLM notes that continued funding would only be considered if the recipient demonstrates progress that BLM finds satisfactory toward the program goals and if BLM determines continuation is in the government’s best interest, or if future funds are available. This highlights that performance and federal budget availability are key factors in whether support could extend across the full anticipated period, even though the project is structured not to exceed two years total.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $10,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $10,000, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which reflects the conservation and resource monitoring emphasis of the work.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on May 21, 2008, with a closing date of May 30, 2008, and it was later archived on June 29, 2008. For applicants or partners needing assistance accessing the full announcement at the time, BLM provided a point of contact: Ilze Karklins Powers, Grants and Agreements Specialist and Grant Management Officer, reachable by phone at 307-775-6293.
