Opportunity Summary:

The FA BLM Arizona Statewide Intern Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00031) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on natural resources work in Arizona. The program is designed around a statewide intern effort under a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient(s) would work in close coordination with BLM rather than operating completely independently as in a standard grant. The core purpose, as stated in the listing, is the "Arizona Statewide Intern Cooperative Agreement," which signals that the funding supports the placement and management of interns who assist BLM with resource-related work across Arizona, including recreation and resource management activities tied to the program's CFDA classification.

This opportunity falls under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which typically covers projects and activities that support the stewardship, planning, maintenance, and management of public lands and recreation resources. While the brief description does not spell out specific tasks, the title and activity category indicate the intent is to fund partners who can recruit, place, supervise, and administer interns working on BLM public lands programs statewide. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial federal involvement such as coordination on work plans, reporting expectations, and alignment with BLM field office priorities.

BLM anticipated making three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of $1,500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $1 up to an award ceiling of $500,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants could still choose to leverage other resources if that strengthened their proposal.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on February 24, 2011, with the application closing date set for May 24, 2011. The archive date was June 24, 2011, indicating it is no longer accepting applications and is maintained for reference.

For further details, applicants were directed to the full announcement on Grants.gov (linked in the notice). For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 602-417-9268 or by email at paulstout@blm.gov.
