Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO Upper Arkansas Basin Area Wetlands Project Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00082) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work in Colorado, specifically within the Upper Arkansas River basin. The core purpose of the project was to support the BLM Royal Gorge Field Office in managing and conserving riparian and wetland resources by placing entry-level college students in a practical, hands-on "learning laboratory" setting. In other words, the grant was designed to blend on-the-ground resource management assistance with workforce development, giving students real field experience while helping BLM meet stewardship needs for sensitive river corridor and wetland habitats.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to remain actively involved during project implementation rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $45,000. The award ceiling was $45,000 and the award floor was $11,250, indicating proposals could be funded at different levels depending on scope and project design. No cost sharing or matching was required, lowering the barrier for eligible institutions to participate.
Eligible applicants were limited to institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled colleges and universities and private colleges and universities. This eligibility aligns with the stated intent of engaging college students, suggesting that successful applicants would likely propose a structured student involvement model such as internships, field practicums, seasonal field crews, or faculty-supervised applied learning projects tied to riparian and wetland management priorities.
Administratively, the opportunity was listed under CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). It was posted on May 2, 2012, with an original and final closing date of May 14, 2012, and it was archived on June 15, 2012. Applicants were directed to use the full announcement instructions and application package available via the application materials, and the grants management point of contact was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer (ypier@blm.gov), for help accessing the announcement or resolving submission issues.
