Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM UT Grand Staircase National Monument Visitor Center for Interpretation and Education Program" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00174) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement designed to continue an existing cooperative agreement (BLM Agreement No. JSA081009). The purpose is to support four visitor centers within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) by ensuring they can provide the public with educational, interpretive, and research-oriented supplies and services. In practical terms, the program focuses on keeping visitor centers well-stocked with high-quality materials that help people understand and appreciate the monument's natural features, recreational opportunities, and cultural resources, while improving the overall visitor experience on BLM-administered public lands.
A central partner in this effort is the Glen Canyon Natural History Association (GCNHA), which operates the retail stores located in the monument's four visitor centers. Through this role, GCNHA helps develop and provide interpretive and educational products and supplies, which can include items such as printed guides, maps, educational publications, interpretive displays or media, and other learning tools commonly found in public-land visitor centers. The continuation language in the announcement indicates this is not a brand-new initiative, but an ongoing relationship intended to maintain and expand an established set of services and materials that directly support public interpretation and education.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals an expectation of active involvement by the federal agency in the supported activities rather than a hands-off grant structure. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number provided is 15.225, labeled Recreation Resource Management. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), suggesting that the project is structured around one primary partner or one primary agreement supporting the visitor center program as a whole rather than multiple separate awards.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $750,000, with an award ceiling of $750,000 and an award floor of $43,750. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), although the notice notes that eligibility may still be subject to clarifications contained in the full announcement text.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2013, and an archive date of September 30, 2013. The listing includes an additional information link directing applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application details.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact points listed are Grants Management Officers Maria Gochis (801-539-4178, mariagochis@blm.gov) and Andrea J. Ramos (801-539-4145, aramos@blm.gov). The overall intent, as stated in the description, is that visitors will continue to benefit from reliable, informative, and educational resources that help them enjoy GSENM responsibly and leave with a stronger understanding and appreciation of the public lands and resources managed by the BLM.
