Opportunity Summary:
The BLM AK Challenge Cost Share 2012 Upper Black River Land Use Patterns grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00048) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered as a cooperative agreement under the natural resources category. The purpose of the project was to collect and analyze information about both traditional and current land use in the Upper Black River area of Alaska. Geographically, the Black River area is described as north of the Yukon River and east of Fort Yukon, with the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge bordering the project area to the north and the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge bordering it to the west. In practical terms, the project was aimed at documenting how people have used and continue to use the land in this region, then turning that information into analyzed data products that can support land management decisions, planning, and resource stewardship.
This was structured as a Challenge Cost Share project, which means the applicant partner was required to provide a 50/50 match. In other words, for every federal dollar awarded, the partner needed to contribute an equal value in non-federal cost share. The announcement emphasized that the partner must meet this matching requirement, making cost share a central condition of participation and a major factor in project feasibility and budgeting.
Funding was relatively focused and competitive. BLM expected to make one award. The estimated total funding available was $50,000, with an award floor of $50,000 and an award ceiling listed as $100,000, indicating the primary anticipated award amount was $50,000 while allowing for the possibility of a higher award depending on final decisions and available funds. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share), which aligns with cooperative, partner-based natural resource projects where both parties contribute resources to accomplish shared objectives.
Eligibility was limited to Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. That phrasing typically points to Alaska Native organizations or tribal nonprofit entities that are not applying as a federally recognized tribal government itself, narrowing the applicant pool to a specific type of community-based or tribally affiliated organization.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and included an extension. The opportunity was posted on March 12, 2012. The original closing date was April 9, 2012, but the due date was extended through an amendment, with the current closing date set to April 20, 2012 (noted as "AMEND 2 IS TO EXTEND DUE DATE UNTIL 4/20/2012"). The opportunity was later archived on May 31, 2012.
Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application package through the application materials referenced in the posting, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer at BLM (907-271-5193, s2smith@blm.gov). Overall, this grant opportunity was designed to support a single, partner-led effort to document and analyze land use patterns in a sensitive and remote area adjacent to major wildlife refuges, with the cost-share requirement ensuring substantial local or partner investment alongside federal funding.
