Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Internships grant opportunity is a Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on building a structured internship and mentoring program for recent college graduates in Wyoming. The Wyoming State Office manages millions of acres of public land that include a wide range of natural habitats supporting many native plant and animal species. Because BLM field offices are responsible for on-the-ground resource protection and for meeting habitat and biological community performance goals laid out in BLM strategy and planning, this opportunity is designed to pair workforce support for those field-level needs with practical career development for new graduates entering natural resource fields.
At its core, the project aims to place college graduates into hands-on natural resource management roles where they work directly with BLM staff mentors. The training emphasis is on conservation biology, threatened and endangered species protection and management, conservation of sensitive species, and the broader management responsibilities that come with administering public lands. The intent is not only to give interns practical experience applying what they learned in school, but also to immerse them in day-to-day federal land management operations, including exposure to real-world land use and habitat challenges, and an understanding of the federal laws, regulations, and internal processes that guide BLM decision-making.
The award is set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to be substantially involved with the selected partner in carrying out the project, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal interaction. The successful applicant would administer the internship program on BLMs behalf, supporting recruitment, placement, and ongoing coordination so interns can contribute meaningfully to field office priorities while receiving close mentorship and professional growth opportunities.
Key administrative details include an anticipated single award with an estimated total funding level of $3,000,000 over a five-year project period. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). It is listed as discretionary funding, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity unless further limited by details in the full announcement. The original posting date was February 22, 2010, with a closing date of March 5, 2010, and an archive date of June 30, 2010. For access issues or additional guidance, the listed grants management contact is Ilze J. Karklins Powers at ipowers@blm.gov.
