Opportunity Summary:
The BLM New Mexico Conservation and Land Management Experience Program is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity designed to strengthen the future workforce in natural resources by giving graduates hands-on, science-based land stewardship experience. The core goal is to improve the pool of job candidates in natural resources fields by supporting work that directly contributes to BLM resource management. In practice, the program centers on accomplishing real BLM management and conservation tasks so that participating graduates build practical, field-relevant experience that aligns with federal land management needs and standards.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means the selected recipient would carry out the project in close coordination with BLM rather than operating fully independently. The activity focus is listed under Education and Environment, reflecting a blend of workforce development and conservation or land management outcomes. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, signaling that funded work is expected to support conservation and resource stewardship priorities consistent with that federal assistance program.
The anticipated award profile indicated a single award was expected, with an estimated total program funding amount of $1,000,000. The award ceiling was also $1,000,000, while the award floor was $105,720, suggesting BLM was open to proposals at different funding levels but ultimately planned to support one main project or lead organization. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, though voluntary leverage is sometimes included by applicants depending on project design.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any specific clarifications that would have appeared in the full announcement package. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 22, 2012, with an original and final closing date of September 11, 2012, and an archive date of September 30, 2012. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the source posting for complete instructions, required forms, and any additional eligibility or programmatic details.
For access or technical issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 505-761-8941 and by email at jhuff@blm.gov.
