Opportunity Summary:
The Wildlife Surveys grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number WY NOI08 9017) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding effort from the Wyoming State Office focused on improving wildlife data and habitat information on public lands in Wyoming. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve active collaboration between the recipient and BLM rather than being a hands-off grant. The program sits under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, and is categorized in the Natural Resources funding activity area.
The core purpose of the project is to support inventories and surveys of major big game species, specifically including animals such as elk, mule deer, and antelope. In addition to counting and assessing these populations, the project is intended to confirm and refine wildlife habitat information so it can be integrated into RSFO vegetation mapping. In practical terms, the funding supports field-based data collection and analysis that improves both population estimates and habitat mapping products used for land and resource planning, management decisions, and conservation work.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the BLM specifically indicates its intent to award the cooperative agreement to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Only one award is expected. The total estimated funding listed for the opportunity is $30,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $0, and there is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The anticipated project length is three years, and the total project period may not exceed 36 months. Continued funding beyond initial increments is not automatic; it depends on two main factors. First, the recipient must demonstrate progress that the BLM considers satisfactory toward the program goals. Second, continuation must be deemed in the government’s best interest and/or depend on the availability of funds. This makes the effort a multi-year project in duration, but with continuation tied to performance and budget realities.
