Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM AK The Geological Society of America Soil Surveys Soil Conditions and Land Mgmt Continuation" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00051) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska discretionary funding announcement intended to continue an existing set of projects under a prior cooperative agreement (L09AC15290) that was scheduled to expire on May 17, 2014. The core purpose is to keep an established partnership active between BLM Alaska and GeoCorps, a program associated with the Geological Society of America that places interns on natural resource and public lands projects. Through this continuation, BLM aims to maintain on-the-ground capacity for practical soils and land management work that supports responsible stewardship of public lands in Alaska.
The funded work focuses on collecting and improving information about soils and the way land uses and facilities interact with soil resources. Specifically, GeoCorps interns would support BLM efforts to conduct inventories of soil types and characteristics, assist with soil surveys, and document soil conditions in areas of BLM interest. A key emphasis is understanding how facilities and site locations relate to soil disturbance and long-term site stability, including impacts such as erosion, compaction, and overall sustainability. In practical terms, this kind of work helps BLM make better-informed decisions about where and how to place or manage facilities, how to prevent or reduce soil degradation, and how to track baseline conditions over time so that land management actions can be evaluated.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be substantially involved in carrying out the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program sits within the natural resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management. BLM anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The award ceiling is listed at $200,000 and the award floor at $500, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which can reduce barriers for eligible organizations and keep the focus on delivering field and technical support.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education, aligning with the project being a continuation tied to an established nonprofit partnership model rather than a general competition open to a wide range of entities. The posting date was March 10, 2014, with a creation date of March 17, 2014, and an application closing date of April 10, 2014. The opportunity later archived on December 31, 2018. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed agency contact for access issues or assistance was Betty Lockard, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 907-267-1213 or blockard@blm.gov.
