Opportunity Summary:
The BLM AK Fisheries Intern Scholar Program, Alaska (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00265) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant designed to strengthen fisheries management capacity in Alaska while building public understanding of the BLM mission of multiple use and sustained yield. The core idea behind the program was to help maintain a highly qualified fisheries workforce by creating a pathway for youth, particularly through hands-on involvement in fisheries-related work that aligns with BLM Alaska fisheries priorities. By pairing practical field experience with public engagement, the opportunity aimed to support both near-term operational needs and longer-term workforce development in rural Alaska.
The grant focused on three main outcomes. First, it was intended to improve BLM Alaska's ability to recruit young people who are interested in careers in fisheries management, essentially serving as a talent pipeline into natural resource professions. Second, it sought to increase efficiency in collecting field data, recognizing that fisheries programs depend heavily on timely, accurate on-the-ground monitoring and data gathering. Third, it aimed to increase public knowledge of the BLM fisheries program by engaging local youth in rural communities, using that involvement as a way to connect residents more directly to fisheries conservation, management activities, and the broader goals of sustained yield.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and categorized under Natural Resources. The funding instrument was a grant, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The total estimated funding amount listed for the announcement was $60,000, and the anticipated number of awards was one. Notably, the award ceiling and floor were both listed as $7,000, indicating that the expected award amount was fixed at $7,000 for the selected recipient under the posted parameters of the announcement.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility language that may have been included in the full announcement instructions. The opportunity was posted on August 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 14, 2012, and it was later archived on October 15, 2012. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application package via the application materials associated with the posting.
