Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "ENGAGEMENT OF STUDENTS FROM WESTERN STATE COLLEGE IN BLM PUBLIC LAND PROJECTS" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00080) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The basic purpose of the program is to create an organized process for involving students from Western State College of Colorado in BLM public land projects. In practical terms, the agreement is meant to support the employment and participation of these students in a range of roles tied to BLM work, including both work-study and non-work-study assignments. The intent is not just general student outreach, but a structured pathway that allows students to contribute directly to BLM duties while gaining real-world experience connected to public lands.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program is associated with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.224, Cultural Resource Management, indicating that at least part of the anticipated work could relate to cultural resources, heritage management, archaeological support, or similar public land stewardship activities that align with BLM responsibilities. While the title emphasizes public land projects broadly, the CFDA classification signals a likely emphasis on cultural resource management components within those projects.
Funding was limited and targeted. The BLM expected to make one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $70,000. The award ceiling was $70,000, and the award floor was listed as $17,500, suggesting the BLM was open to proposals of varying scope as long as they fit program goals, but the maximum available for the single anticipated award was $70,000. The announcement specified that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on May 6, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 20, 2011, indicating a relatively short application window. The opportunity was later archived on July 11, 2011, which generally means the solicitation period had ended and the announcement was no longer active for submissions. Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," meaning it was open to any type of entity, although the text also notes that applicants should consider any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement under "Additional Information on Eligibility." Because the project description is explicitly centered on Western State College of Colorado students, the practical intent likely favored an applicant able to directly coordinate and administer student placements tied to that institution, even if the eligibility field was broadly defined.
For applicants or interested parties who needed the full announcement details, the notice pointed to Grants.gov as the source, and provided a BLM contact for assistance: Yvonne Pier, reachable at ypier@blm.gov. This contact was specifically offered for help accessing the full announcement electronically, implying that additional operational details (such as specific project activities, reporting expectations, deliverables, and how student work would be structured) were contained in the full posting rather than in the brief summary text.
