Opportunity Summary:

The Ash Springs Recreation Site Project (Funding Opportunity Number NV NOI080015) is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Nevada. It falls under the Natural Resources activity area and is tied to recreation resource management (CFDA 15.225). The notice was posted May 1, 2008, with a closing date of May 14, 2008, and it was archived May 15, 2008. The total anticipated funding amount is $32,000, and the award ceiling and floor are both $32,000, meaning the BLM expected to make one award for that full amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed.

This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that BLM intended to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, it signals that the agency planned to continue funding an existing partner rather than run a competitive grant process. The eligible applicant type referenced is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the identified partner organization involved in the work.

The work described continues an established partnership among the BLM, the State of Nevada, and the Great Basin Institute, building on a prior cooperative agreement dating back to 2003. The broader purpose of that partnership is to support environmental research, education, and conservation efforts across the western United States, with a particular emphasis on resource management issues in the Great Basin. A key feature of the collaboration is workforce development: it creates a structured pathway for young professionals to get hands-on, field-based training in areas such as collecting and analyzing resource data, conducting small-scale site restoration, initiating and maintaining trails, and performing monitoring activities across Nevada.

This specific continuation effort is tied to a Round 6 SNPLMA project (Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act funding) that had been awarded to the BLM Ely Field Office to support improvements at the Ash Springs recreation site. The stated objectives focus on implementing those on-the-ground recreation site improvements through coordinated support from the partner organization. The main tasks include facilitating project implementation, helping with public outreach and public involvement, assisting with data collection, supporting planning and analysis tied to the improvements, helping carry out the improvements themselves, and assisting with preparation of project reports and documentation.

For administrative questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 775-861-6559 or by email at skaller@blm.gov.
