Opportunity Summary:
The BLM New Mexico Public Lands Information and Education Project (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00232) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support a statewide public information and education effort about public lands in New Mexico. The core purpose is to promote and explain the authorized uses of BLM-managed lands, while also helping the public navigate information about other public and federal lands in the state. In practical terms, the project is meant to make it easier for residents and visitors to find accurate, timely recreation and resource information and to better understand how public lands are managed.
The project centers on operating and supporting a set of public-facing information services that function as a one-stop shop for public lands information. These services include a public information center located at the BLM State Office in New Mexico, a toll-free phone line that serves as an accessible point of contact, and the publiclands.org website as an online hub. Together, these tools are intended to provide consistent, interagency recreation and resource information, reduce confusion about where to go for answers, and improve the overall quality and availability of guidance the public receives.
Beyond providing direct information to the public, the opportunity also emphasizes the creation and improvement of interpretive and educational products that help people understand public lands and their stewardship. This includes expertise and support for developing displays, brochures, new media applications, and other communication materials. The focus is on fostering public understanding of New Mexico public lands, including what activities are allowed, how to recreate responsibly, and the broader management context behind land use decisions.
Funding for the opportunity was listed with an estimated total of $500,000, with individual awards ranging from $22,500 (floor) up to $100,000 (ceiling), and the agency anticipated making 1 award. The program is associated with CFDA 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management) and is categorized under community development and education. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated.
Although the eligibility field is shown as unrestricted, the notice includes a specific clarification that it is a Notice of Intent directed to the Public Lands Interpretive Association (PLIA) for ongoing program and projects. That means the practical intent of this posting was to continue or formalize work with PLIA rather than to run a wide-open competition among many applicants.
Key dates listed in the announcement show it was posted and created on July 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2014, and an archive date of September 21, 2014. The administering agency is the Bureau of Land Management, and the grants management contact provided is Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 505-761-8941 or jhuff@blm.gov.
