Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00118
The BLM-Oregon, Land Health Monitoring Vale District grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00118) is a Bureau of Land Management initiative focused on improving how public land conditions are measured, tracked, and reported in the Vale District of Oregon. It was created in response to a major finding from a 2004 Office of Management and Budget review, which concluded that BLM resource protection efforts lacked consistent, decision-ready monitoring information. Specifically, OMB identified gaps in tracking on-the-ground resource conditions and noted that BLM did not have a dependable way to summarize and report land condition trends beyond a local level. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to strengthen the data and monitoring foundation BLM needs to justify management actions, evaluate outcomes, and communicate land health status in a credible, standardized way.
At the core of the project is BLMs broader move toward an Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) Strategy, which was shaped by an interdisciplinary team and guided by key internal and external recommendations. The opportunity references major framework documents that helped define this direction, including the 2007 Local Workgroup Report for the National Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring Strategy and the 2008 findings and recommendations for regional monitoring of wildlife and water, particularly in contexts influenced by energy development. Together, these efforts reflect BLMs attempt to move from inconsistent, site-by-site monitoring toward an integrated approach that can support both local management decisions and larger-scale reporting needs.
The work supported by this funding emphasizes collecting additional and supplemental field data that can directly inform land management effectiveness. That includes monitoring related to fuels treatments, with data gathered both before and after treatments to determine whether those actions are achieving intended outcomes. It also includes wilderness study area monitoring, which helps track conditions and potential impacts in areas being evaluated for wilderness characteristics and management considerations. Another major element is the collection of rangeland health indicators, which are used to assess ecological condition, trends, and stressors on rangelands. The overall idea is to generate comparable, defensible measurements that can be used to evaluate whether management actions are improving, maintaining, or degrading land health across time.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement under the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, within the natural resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.237). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning proposals could come from a wide range of entities as long as they meet any additional requirements described in the full announcement. The funding ceiling for the award is $180,000, with BLM expecting to make one award. The posting date is May 23, 2017, and the original closing date is July 22, 2017. A notable feature of the project is that the information collected is not intended to stay siloed; the data may be shared across BLM offices and with interested publics, supporting transparency and broader use of monitoring results for land stewardship discussions.Apply for L17AS00118
