The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering this grant to secure essential statistical support for its critical Landscape Monitoring Project. This initiative, integral to the BLM’s Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) Strategy, provides the framework for developing random sample locations for all vegetative data collected on BLM lands, utilizing core indicators and standardized methods. This grant is for partnering with an entity like the Center for Survey Statistics and Methodology at Iowa State University to obtain expertise. Required statistical support includes designing valid surveys, ensuring quality assurance and control for data, and producing accurate estimates for indicators from data collected on BLM lands, often in coordination with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). This vital support will ensure the integrity and reliability of crucial environmental monitoring data.
