Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV Winnemucca District Office Intern Program (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00099) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support an internship program based out of the Winnemucca District Office in Nevada. The core purpose of the program is to give interns a practical orientation to how BLM works, with specific exposure to BLM policies, regulations, procedures, programs, and day-to-day operations. The internship is designed to build real-world understanding of multiple-use land management, meaning the way public lands are managed to balance competing needs such as conservation, recreation, grazing, mineral development, cultural resources protection, and other authorized uses.
The internship activities are expected to emphasize planning and environmental coordination work. In practical terms, this means interns would likely support administrative and technical tasks that relate to land use planning, compliance, environmental review processes, and coordination across program areas. The announcement frames the work as hands-on learning through tasks that develop both knowledge and understanding, suggesting the interns will not only observe but also contribute to operational work products while learning how decisions on public land are shaped by law, policy, science, and stakeholder input.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, working closely with the recipient on internship structure, work assignments, oversight, or deliverables). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the posting is 15.235 (Southern Nevada Public Land Management). The program anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $60,000, which indicates the intended award amount is fixed at that level rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide matching funds to be considered.
Eligibility is broad and includes independent school districts, small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), individuals, Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and federally recognized tribal governments. This wide eligibility suggests BLM is open to partnering with educational institutions, workforce and youth-serving organizations, nonprofits, tribes, or other entities capable of recruiting, placing, and supporting interns and managing the cooperative agreement requirements.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on May 16, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 30, 2011. The archive date is June 30, 2011, indicating the opportunity is historical and no longer open.
