Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO Student Opportunities on Public Lands grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00043) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It focused on natural resources and recreation resource management (CFDA 15.225) and was designed to support a project that gives students hands-on opportunities to learn about resource management and public lands in western Colorado. In practical terms, the intent was educational and workforce-development oriented: placing students in situations where they can build skills and understanding related to how public lands are managed, conserved, and used, likely through field-based experiences and exposure to real BLM land management priorities.
Funding was to be issued through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The award ceiling was set at $1,000,000, and the award floor at $250,000, indicating the agency was looking for a sizable, structured project rather than small, scattered activities. No cost sharing or matching was required, reducing the barrier for organizations that might not have significant non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that would have been provided in the full announcement package. The opportunity was posted and created on March 9, 2012, and the application deadline was March 30, 2012, with the listing later archived on May 15, 2012. Anyone needing access to the complete instructions and application package was directed to use the announcement "Application" tab, and technical or access issues were to be handled through the listed BLM Grants Management Officer contact, Yvonne Pier (ypier@blm.gov).
