Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00001
The BLM ORWA Improving Habitat Quality in Oregon Big Game Migration Corridors grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L19AS00001) is a Bureau of Land Management program out of the Department of the Interior focused on improving conservation outcomes for mule deer on BLM-managed public lands in Oregon by better understanding where and how deer migrate. The core purpose is to identify big game migration corridors and support research that collects empirical, on-the-ground data about wildlife movements in areas where migratory routes occur. That information is intended to guide conservation actions that maintain or improve habitat quality along those corridors, with an emphasis on sustaining mule deer populations while also supporting public benefits like wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on study design, data needs, coordination, and delivery of results. The activity category is Natural Resources (CFDA 15.247). Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating the program was designed for a state-level wildlife or natural resource agency (or similar state entity) to carry out the work in coordination with the BLM.
In practical terms, the funded work would revolve around locating and mapping migration corridors and stopover areas, documenting timing and use patterns, and producing defensible datasets that can be used in land management and habitat conservation decisions on BLM lands. The emphasis on "empirical data" signals a preference for measurable, research-grade information about movement and habitat use rather than general observations, so deliverables would likely include corridor identification products, movement datasets, and findings that directly inform conservation planning and habitat improvement priorities.
The award structure for this announcement anticipated a single award with a maximum (ceiling) of $500,000. The opportunity was created on March 12, 2019, with an original closing date of March 19, 2019, reflecting a short application window. Overall, the grant was aimed at generating actionable migration corridor information that the BLM and partners can use to conserve mule deer habitat across Oregon public lands while maintaining recreation and hunting values for the public.Apply for L19AS00001
