Opportunity Summary:
The Arctic North Slope Natural Gas Hydrate Assessment and Exploration Project (Funding Opportunity Number AK NOI08 0001) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding notice describing the agency's intent to support work related to assessing and exploring natural gas hydrates on Alaska's North Slope. The announcement makes a key point up front: it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that BLM plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency anticipated making an award through a non-competitive process rather than soliciting proposals broadly.
The planned funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement in the project beyond a standard grant, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination, or oversight. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), even though the project title and focus are centered on energy-related natural resource assessment (gas hydrates). BLM expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the intended partner was likely a state university or similar public academic entity with relevant scientific and technical capabilities. In terms of timing, the notice was posted on April 10, 2008, with a creation date of April 23, 2008. The original closing date is listed as April 23, 2008, and the current closing date is April 29, 2008, with the archive date on May 25, 2008. Although those dates resemble the window during which the notice was active, the document itself emphasizes that it was not soliciting applications, so the dates mainly function as administrative milestones for the public notice record rather than an open application period.
For access or assistance with the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 907-271-5193 (with Lotus Notes also referenced as an internal contact method).
