Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Recreation and Tourism Initiative 2010 (IRTI) was a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on natural resource-related recreation and tourism in Idaho. The program centered on a long-running partnership approach: IRTI functioned as a coalition of state and federal agencies working together to expand recreation opportunities for Idaho residents and visitors. Rather than funding isolated projects, the opportunity emphasized coordination and cooperation that would strengthen how the public learns about, accesses, and experiences recreation and tourism opportunities across the state, particularly where public lands and recreation services intersect.
The main objective of the initiative was to improve public information and services tied to recreation and tourism in Idaho. In practical terms, this kind of objective typically supports efforts such as better visitor information, improved coordination among agencies providing recreation services, and collaborative projects that make recreation opportunities easier to find, understand, and use. The description highlights partnerships as the core mechanism, indicating the Bureau of Land Management expected applicants to work across agencies or jurisdictions to deliver broader public benefit than a single entity could provide alone.
This opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 10 1743 and used a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which generally signals substantial involvement or collaboration between the federal agency and the award recipient during the project. The activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA number listed was 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The program anticipated making about 10 awards from an estimated total funding amount of $43,000. The posted materials also listed an award ceiling of $40,000, meaning individual awards could not exceed that amount under this announcement.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, indicating the program was aimed at Idaho state-level agencies or entities able to apply on behalf of the state. A cost sharing or matching requirement was not required, which would have lowered the barrier to participation and allowed state applicants to propose projects without needing to commit matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Key dates associated with the opportunity included an initial posted date of October 30, 2009, with an original closing date of November 30, 2009, and a later current closing date of February 26, 2010. The record shows an archive date of March 26, 2010, meaning the opportunity is no longer open and is retained for reference. For applicants or interested parties needing access to the full announcement, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the primary source, and provided a contact for assistance: Melinda D. Ritacco at mritacco@blm.gov.
