Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00060
The BLM-WY, Deer Elk Ecology Cooperative Study (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00060) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resources work in Wyoming. Issued as a cooperative agreement, the opportunity was designed to support a partner-led study that helps BLM better understand and respond to habitat issues affecting big game on public lands. The underlying goal was to encourage restoration and protection of crucial wildlife habitat by generating practical, field-based information that can guide management decisions.
At the center of the project was research on mule deer and elk, specifically documenting their seasonal movement patterns (such as migration routes, winter range use, and transitions between seasonal habitats) and examining how the two species interact with each other across the landscape. A key emphasis was connecting those movement and interaction patterns to broader concerns about habitat quality and its deterioration. In practical terms, this kind of work can help identify where and when animals concentrate, which habitats are most important during limiting seasons, where overlap between deer and elk may create competition or management challenges, and how changing vegetation conditions, disturbance, or other stressors may be influencing behavior and habitat use. The information produced is intended to support habitat restoration priorities and protection strategies on BLM-managed public lands.
The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the agency in shaping or participating in the work compared with a standard grant. The program anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $221,000. Eligible applicants included state and county governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category). The opportunity was cataloged under CFDA 15.231 and categorized under Natural Resources.
This notice was created on April 12, 2017, with an original application closing date of June 11, 2017. Overall, it aimed to fund one cooperative study that would improve understanding of deer-elk ecology in relation to habitat condition, producing actionable knowledge to help BLM and partners plan and prioritize habitat protection and restoration efforts on public lands.Apply for L17AS00060
