Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "BLM CA BAKERSFIELD SAN JOAQUIN RIVER GORGE" (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA NOI 09 0002) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, specifically connected to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in California. The program falls under the Education activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The short description provided for the project is "INTERN AT THE CARRIZO PLAIN," indicating the funding was intended to support an internship-focused effort tied to the Carrizo Plain area, likely involving recreation resource management, public lands education, and hands-on learning opportunities connected to BLM-managed landscapes.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That typically means the federal agency expected to be substantially involved in the project, such as collaborating on work planning, coordinating activities on public lands, providing technical guidance, or participating in oversight and implementation. The listing anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $374,146, which also served as the award ceiling. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, meaning eligible applicants were not obligated to contribute additional non-federal funds to qualify.

Eligibility was limited to independent school districts, suggesting the intended applicant pool was K-12 public education entities that operate independently of other governmental structures. Given the education focus and the internship theme, the program likely aimed to create structured learning and workforce-development experiences for students or recent graduates, potentially involving resource stewardship, visitor services, environmental education, interpretation, or similar public land management support roles at or connected to the Carrizo Plain and the San Joaquin River Gorge area.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted on February 19, 2009, with an original and final closing date of February 27, 2009, reflecting a short application window. The record indicates a creation date of March 16, 2009, and an archive date of September 30, 2013, meaning it is no longer active and is kept for historical reference. For applicants who had issues accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Traci D. Thaler at tthaler@blm.gov.
