Opportunity Summary:
The BLM-Alaska Iditarod National Historic Trail (INHT) Partnership Implementation of the Comprehensive Management Plan grant opportunity is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Anchorage District Office funding program intended to support on-the-ground and community-based work that advances the Iditarod National Historic Trail Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) adopted in 1986. The CMP, which is publicly accessible through the Alaska Resource Library and Information Services (ARLIS) website, serves as the guiding framework for what types of projects are appropriate. The overall intent is to increase public recognition, understanding, appreciation, and long-term stewardship of the historic Iditarod Trail by helping partners and local stakeholders carry out projects already identified in that interagency-adopted plan.
This opportunity emphasizes collaboration and shared implementation through a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve active partnership with BLM rather than a hands-off pass-through grant. The supported activities revolve around interpretation and education (helping the public learn the trail's history and significance), as well as practical trail improvements and maintenance. A key theme is community engagement: the BLM is looking to encourage and support local volunteers, community groups, and other qualified parties who can contribute time, labor, expertise, or other resources toward maintaining, improving, and interpreting the trail. In plain terms, the program is meant to strengthen the trail not only physically, but also in terms of public awareness and local ownership.
Geographically, the work relates to the Iditarod National Historic Trail corridor as described in the CMP, which generally covers about 2,300 miles of routes between Seward and Nome, Alaska. Because the opportunity ties directly to the CMP, projects are expected to be consistent with locations, priorities, and actions laid out in that plan, rather than proposing unrelated or entirely new initiatives outside its scope.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by DOI-BLM under CFDA number 15.225. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any entity type may apply as long as it meets any requirements described in the full solicitation. The opportunity number is L16AS00106. BLM anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of up to $600,000. The posting and creation dates were May 6, 2016, and the application deadline was July 7, 2016.
