Opportunity Summary:
The BLM AK Alaska Game Management Unit 23 Working Group, Kotzebue, Alaska (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00203) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The central aim of the opportunity was to support the Unit 23 Working Group in northwest Alaska, near Kotzebue, with a focus on reducing user conflicts tied to rising numbers of hunters in Game Management Unit 23 (GMU23). The project emphasis was coordinated management and planning, meaning the award was intended to strengthen collaboration and organized decision-making among the relevant parties so that hunting-related pressures could be addressed in a structured, proactive way.
This opportunity was structured to result in a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $115,000 listed in the notice, while the stated award ceiling and floor were both $15,000, indicating the announced award size for this particular agreement was fixed at $15,000. No cost share or matching funds were required, which meant the eligible applicant would not need to contribute non-federal funding as a condition of receiving the award. The listing was associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, reflecting its connection to managing recreational uses and related resource and user issues on public lands.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, so the funding was not open to individuals, local governments, tribes (under this specific eligibility field), nonprofits, or universities unless they were applying through a qualifying state government entity. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, BLM anticipated having substantial involvement in the work, such as participating in planning, coordination, oversight, or other forms of collaboration that are typical when an agency expects to be actively engaged in carrying out the project objectives.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2012, and it was archived on September 15, 2012. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the application materials referenced in the notice, and technical access issues were routed to the listed BLM contact: Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 907-271-5193 or by email at s2smith@blm.gov.
