Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "FA - American Indian Science and Engineering Society Partnership" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00106) to support an education-focused partnership built around a Summer Work Experience Program. The core purpose of the award is to run a 10-week summer work experience for postsecondary students over multiple summers spanning 2010 through 2015. In practical terms, the project is intended to place students in structured, career-relevant work experiences connected to BLM-related fields, with the program operating in the summer season and designed to provide meaningful exposure to professional environments and public land or natural resource work.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM anticipates being actively involved in the project beyond simply issuing funds. While the announcement text provided is brief, cooperative agreements generally imply coordination with the agency on program design, implementation details, oversight, or shared responsibilities to achieve the project outcomes. The activity category is listed as Education, reinforcing that the primary intent is workforce development and learning through practical experience rather than research or construction.
BLM expected to make one award under this opportunity. The estimated total funding available was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $1, indicating the agency could technically consider smaller budgets but planned funding at or up to the full amount available. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or selection.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, specifically excluding institutions of higher education from applying directly as the lead applicant. That eligibility constraint suggests BLM was looking for a nonprofit organization capable of managing and operating a student work experience program, potentially coordinating with colleges, universities, tribal colleges, or other educational partners, but with the nonprofit serving as the formal grantee.
The opportunity was posted on May 25, 2010, with an original closing date of June 9, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of July 14, 2010. The archive date was July 15, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the announcement is 15.237 (Rangeland Resource Management), which signals the broader federal assistance program context BLM tied to the project, even though the specific activity described is an education and work experience program.
For applicants or interested parties needing the full announcement details, the notice directed readers to Grants.gov (the listing referenced an additional information link at http://www.grants.gov). The designated contact for access issues or questions was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 602-417-9268 and paulstout@blm.gov (the email address was listed twice in the source text).
