Opportunity Information: Apply for L18AS00071
The BLM-AZ Ecological Monitoring and Adaptive Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L18AS00071) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Its central goal is to strengthen how BLM and its partners manage public lands by pairing the best available science with meaningful engagement from a broad set of public partners. In practical terms, the agreement is designed to generate credible, field-based information and then use that information to guide and refine best management practices (BMPs) through adaptive management, meaning management actions are treated as learning opportunities and adjusted as new evidence comes in.
A major emphasis of the project is ecological monitoring tied to working landscapes, especially in Arizona BLM contexts. The work focuses on collecting and analyzing rangeland health indicators and data related to upland vegetation treatments. This can include tracking vegetation condition, trends over time, and responses to restoration or treatment actions, with the intent of answering real management questions such as what is improving, what is not, and why. The monitoring component is not just about gathering data for its own sake; it is explicitly meant to support decision-making and improve land management outcomes by evaluating the effectiveness of restoration efforts and BMPs.
Another key component is outreach and communication with stakeholders. The award is meant to support providing updates and interpretation to the public, stakeholders, and the BLM regarding the status and trends of natural resources, along with the measured effectiveness of restoration strategies and BMPs. This is essentially a bridge between technical monitoring and on-the-ground management conversations, helping land managers and partners understand what the data show and how those findings should influence future actions. The opportunity also signals a strong commitment to transparency: data collected under this cooperative agreement is intended to be made available to the public, supporting broader learning and accountability.
In terms of basic logistics, the opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is listed under CFDA 15.245. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, often through collaboration on planning, implementation, technical approach, or coordination. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full notice. The posting date was July 16, 2018, with an original closing date of August 17, 2018. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $150,000.Apply for L18AS00071
