Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CO SJPLC Interns for the Abandoned Mine Land Program in Silverton, CO" (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CO NOI 09 983) is a U.S. Department of the Interior notice for a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support an internship program connected to abandoned mine land work in the Silverton, Colorado area. The activity is categorized under CFDA 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management, and is framed as an "Other" funding activity specifically explained as an internship program. In practical terms, the award is meant to fund intern support for field and project tasks that help the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) carry out environmental monitoring and restoration-related work tied to legacy mining impacts.
The core purpose is described as an "Abandoned Mine Lands and Biochar Internship Program." The work emphasis includes monitoring and assessment assistance, site or material characterization, and hands-on support for producing biochar and applying it in the field. Based on the description, interns would likely assist with collecting observations and measurements relevant to abandoned mine land conditions (for example, tracking environmental indicators), helping document and characterize materials or site conditions, and performing manual labor associated with biochar production and deployment. The biochar component suggests the project is exploring or implementing biochar as a tool for environmental management, potentially as a soil amendment or remediation aid, with interns supporting both the preparation of the material and its application at or near impacted sites.
Funding for the opportunity is relatively small and targeted. The estimated total funding is listed as $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $2,500, and the agency expected to make a single award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award (unless other terms in the full announcement specify something different). Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the arrangement typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project during the performance period, as opposed to a more hands-off grant; in an internship context, that could mean close coordination with BLM staff on intern activities, schedules, field priorities, and reporting.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full announcement. Applications were to be submitted through Grants.gov. The posting date and creation date are both June 30, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 8, 2009, and an archive date of August 1, 2009, indicating this was a short application window and the opportunity is historical rather than currently open.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the listed contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at rraisane@blm.gov.
