Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WO National Trails Symposium grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM WO NOI 09 0960) is a Department of the Interior notice describing the Bureau of Land Management's intent to issue a single cooperative agreement to support the semiannual National Trails Symposium. Rather than being an open competitive solicitation, it is explicitly labeled a Notice of Intent, meaning the agency is announcing its plan to make an award to a specific organization, the American Trails Education and Information Project, to help carry out the event and its related public engagement goals.
The purpose of the award is to fund and support the National Trails Symposium as a forum focused on trail stewardship and trail management issues. The symposium is intended to improve public understanding of complex and sometimes competing considerations involved in managing diverse trail systems, including how trails are planned, maintained, used, and protected across different landscapes and user groups. A central theme of the opportunity is public involvement: the symposium is meant to encourage members of the public and stakeholders to participate in trail management discussions and to strengthen collaboration around trails.
This opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, often through coordination, oversight, or participation in planning and execution. The posting date was July 7, 2009, with a creation date of July 21, 2009. The original closing date was July 27, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of August 5, 2009, and the opportunity was slated for archive on August 17, 2009.
The financial details are straightforward and fixed. The estimated total funding is $12,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $12,000, indicating the agency expected to make one award at that exact amount. The anticipated number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted for this opportunity, which means the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is not presented as broadly competitive. The listing indicates "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility section clarifies the key point: this is a Notice of Intent, signaling the planned recipient rather than inviting proposals from a wide range of applicants. In practical terms, this kind of posting is mainly informational and procedural, documenting the agency's intent to fund a specific partner for a defined purpose.
For applicants or members of the public seeking the full announcement through Grants.gov, the posting includes an additional information link directing users to http://www.grants.gov/Apply. The contact listed for assistance, particularly if there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, is Lisa Ensley at the Bureau of Land Management, reachable at LisaEnsley@blm.gov (also shown in the notice as lisaensley@blm.gov).
