Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "BLM NV Implementation of Environmental Education and Interpretation Projects Nevada State Office NV" (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00154) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM), specifically through the Nevada State Office. The program is designed to support environmental education and interpretation efforts that help the public better understand and value public lands and the natural and cultural resources found on them. At its core, the opportunity is about building partnerships that improve how people learn about land stewardship, responsible recreation, and the broader importance of Federal, State, and local lands and facilities.

This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as its funding instrument, which usually indicates a more hands-on partnership between the BLM and the recipient compared to a standard grant. In practice, that often means the BLM may expect to be involved in project coordination, technical input, or collaborative implementation as educational and outreach materials or activities are developed and delivered. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA number 15.225, aligning it with BLM assistance programs connected to public land management and resource conservation.

In terms of what the BLM is trying to accomplish, the published description emphasizes educational outreach activities that outline the importance of appropriate use and appreciation of lands and resources. That generally points to projects like environmental education programming, interpretive products, public-facing outreach campaigns, and similar initiatives that encourage responsible behavior on public lands. The focus is not only on natural resources (such as wildlife, habitat, watersheds, and landscapes) but also on cultural resources, which can include archaeological sites, historic trails, traditional cultural places, and other heritage assets that require public awareness and protection. The overall goal is to increase public understanding and encourage informed, respectful use of public spaces and facilities.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many different kinds of applicants, as long as they meet any conditions described in the full notice under additional eligibility details. This typically allows participation from entities such as nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, state and local governments, tribal organizations, and potentially other public or private partners, depending on the notice language. The structure signals that BLM is looking for a capable partner able to design and implement outreach activities that connect meaningfully with Nevada audiences and public-land users.

Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $250,000 and anticipates making one award. That suggests a single, relatively substantial project rather than multiple smaller awards, with the expectation that the selected recipient will implement a defined set of deliverables that advance BLM's environmental education and interpretation objectives. The original and current closing date for applications is August 2, 2016, and the opportunity was created and posted on June 2, 2016, indicating a roughly two-month application window at the time it was announced.

In plain terms, this BLM Nevada opportunity is aimed at funding one partner to carry out a focused environmental education and interpretation project that strengthens public appreciation for public lands and promotes responsible, appropriate use of land, facilities, and resources across Federal, State, and local jurisdictions. It is positioned as a collaborative effort where BLM and the recipient work together to deliver outreach that protects resources by improving public knowledge, attitudes, and behavior related to recreation, conservation, and cultural heritage stewardship.
