Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00081
The grant opportunity titled "BLM Nevada Monitoring Wildlife Responses to Landscape scale Vegetation Management in the Great Basin, Sierra Nevada and Mojave Desert" (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00081) is a discretionary Department of the Interior funding opportunity offered through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is designed to support natural resource work focused on understanding how broad, landscape-scale vegetation management actions influence wildlife across three major western ecosystems: the Great Basin, the Mojave Desert, and the Sierra Nevada. In practical terms, the BLM is looking to collaborate with a partner who can help generate better evidence about the ecological outcomes of vegetation treatments and how those treatments translate into changes in wildlife presence, behavior, reproduction, survival, habitat use, or broader population patterns.
The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals that the BLM expects substantial involvement during the project. That can include active coordination on study design, data collection priorities, monitoring protocols, analysis approaches, and how results are communicated and applied to on-the-ground management decisions. The purpose is not just to fund a standalone research effort, but to build actionable knowledge that can directly inform BLM vegetation management strategies across large landscapes and multiple habitat types, especially where treatments are intended to restore or maintain ecosystem function and reduce threats such as invasive species or altered fire regimes.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.231. The posting indicates a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $2,375,000, suggesting the BLM intended to make one comparatively large, comprehensive award capable of supporting a multi-year, multi-site monitoring effort. Eligible applicants are listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was broadly open to various entity types (such as universities, nonprofits, state or local governments, tribes, and potentially other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been provided in the full announcement.
The opportunity was created on May 5, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 5, 2017. Overall, the core theme is partnership-based monitoring and assessment: the BLM sought a recipient to help track and evaluate wildlife responses tied to landscape vegetation management in the Great Basin, Sierra Nevada, and Mojave Desert, ultimately improving the agency's ability to plan treatments, measure outcomes, and adapt management based on observed wildlife and habitat responses.Apply for L17AS00081
