Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 19 N007
This Notice of Intent to Award (Funding Opportunity Number BOR LC 19 N007) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on environmental monitoring tied to the Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Program (LCR MSCP) Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The project is designed to generate and maintain the monitoring information needed to meet specific conservation measures already identified in the LCR MSCP HCP. In practical terms, the funding supports field and related monitoring work that helps the program track species and habitat conditions, evaluate whether conservation actions are working as intended, and fill key biological information gaps that affect how conservation is planned and implemented along the Lower Colorado River.
The larger context for the award is the LCR MSCP itself, which is described as a multi-stakeholder partnership that includes federal and non-federal participants. Its central purpose is to balance the ongoing use and management of Lower Colorado River water resources with the conservation of native species and their habitats in a manner consistent with the Endangered Species Act. The program is framed as both a recovery-support tool for species that are already listed and a preventative tool intended to reduce the chance that additional species will need to be listed in the future. Monitoring is an essential component of that approach because it provides the evidence base for adaptive management, compliance documentation, and informed decision-making about habitat and species conservation actions.
This specific project emphasizes closing data gaps related to bat conservation needs under the LCR MSCP HCP. The targeted species are the western red bat, western yellow bat, pale Townsend's big-eared bat, and California leaf-nosed bat. The opportunity indicates that the monitoring activities funded under this award will be focused on the conservation measures relevant to those bats, with an emphasis on collecting the kinds of information that are currently missing or insufficient for effective implementation. While the notice does not spell out individual tasks in detail, the stated aim implies efforts such as documenting bat presence and distribution, tracking seasonal or habitat use patterns, and improving the baseline understanding needed to guide conservation actions and evaluate outcomes.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordination, technical input, or shared oversight of deliverables. Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the opportunity is linked to CFDA number 15.517. The award ceiling is $355,380, and only one award is expected, indicating a single recipient will likely carry out the monitoring scope on behalf of the program objectives. The opportunity record lists a creation date of March 13, 2019, with an original closing date of March 26, 2019, reflecting a short application window consistent with a notice of intent to award, which often suggests an anticipated or pre-identified recipient rather than an open, highly competitive solicitation.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for bat-focused monitoring work that advances the compliance and conservation objectives of an existing, collaborative habitat conservation plan on the Lower Colorado River. The funding is meant to strengthen the scientific and management foundation for implementing specific conservation measures, support the recovery and long-term persistence of covered species, and help partners meet Endangered Species Act responsibilities while continuing to manage and use river water resources.Apply for BOR LC 19 N007
