Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00168
The grant opportunity titled "BLM-OR/WA, Analysis, and Monitoring of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument Resources" (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00168) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is focused specifically on supporting analysis and monitoring work tied to the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument (CSNM) in Oregon, as identified as a management need in the Monument's Resource Management Plan (RMP). The central purpose is to generate and maintain the scientific and monitoring information needed to protect the resources, objects, and values the monument was originally established to conserve, and to ensure management decisions are guided by up-to-date field data rather than assumptions.
The work envisioned under this opportunity centers on resource monitoring and applied analysis within and around the monument. The description highlights several example areas: long-term vegetation monitoring to track ecosystem condition and changes over time; water and aquatic resource analysis designed to improve water quantity and water quality and to better understand how water is used across the landscape; and biodiversity analysis and studies aimed at understanding species presence, habitat conditions, and broader ecological patterns. The emphasis on "long-term" monitoring suggests an interest in repeatable methods, consistent protocols, and datasets that can show trends, not just one-time snapshots. Overall, the activities align with the BLM mission of sustaining the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for current and future generations, and they reflect a practical need for field-based information that can support conservation, restoration, and adaptive management.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on project design, coordinating access, aligning monitoring protocols with agency standards, or jointly reviewing results and deliverables. The program is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.231. Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning the competition is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility notes that might have appeared in the full announcement.
The opportunity was created on June 14, 2017, with an original application closing date of August 13, 2017. BLM anticipated making one award, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $45,000. Taken together, that scale suggests a targeted, project-specific effort rather than a large multi-year program, likely intended to fund a defined set of monitoring tasks, analyses, or pilot studies that support the CSNM RMP priorities and help the agency better document conditions and trends for vegetation, water resources, aquatic systems, and biodiversity.Apply for L17AS00168
