Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Utah Moab Information Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00101) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding announcement that continues an existing cooperative agreement (No. JSA071001) with the Canyonlands Natural History Association (CNHA). The project centers on supporting the Moab Information Center, an interagency visitor center in Moab, Utah, by helping ensure it is properly staffed and able to provide the public with accurate, timely, and practical information about nearby federal lands and the agencies that manage them. In plain terms, the funding is meant to keep a shared public-facing information hub running smoothly so visitors can understand where to go, what rules apply, and how to recreate responsibly across public, forest, and park lands in the region.
The main goal is to help BLM meet an established obligation to participate in staffing and operating this one-stop visitor center. That obligation comes from a participating agreement among several partners: the BLM, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Grand County, and CNHA. By pooling resources and coordinating public information in one place, the partnership advances the federal "Service First" approach, which is designed to make it easier for the public to access services across multiple agencies without having to navigate separate offices and systems. The expected outcome is improved visitor service, clearer communication of regulations and safety guidance, and stronger support for responsible recreation and stewardship across the Moab area and surrounding public lands.
The opportunity also directly aligns with CNHA's nonprofit mission, which is to support the scientific and educational work of the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the USDA Forest Service on federal lands in southeast Utah and the broader Four Corners region. Through this project, CNHA helps translate agency priorities into on-the-ground visitor contact, interpretation, and educational outreach, which can include distributing official information, answering visitor questions, and guiding the public toward appropriate recreation choices that reduce resource impacts.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM anticipates substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling and floor of $12,000, and it indicates that cost sharing or matching is required under a challenge cost-share framework. Only one award was expected. The announcement was posted on June 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of September 30, 2013. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), although the narrative makes clear this is a continuation tied to an existing agreement with CNHA for the Moab Information Center.
For applicants or interested parties needing the full announcement or assistance accessing it, the posting directs users to Grants.gov and provides agency contacts: Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer (801-539-4178, mariagochis@blm.gov), and Andrea J. Ramos, Contracting Officer (801-539-4145, aramos@blm.gov), with an additional email listed as mgochis@blm.gov.
