Opportunity Summary:
FA BLM AZ Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00230) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. The overall goal is to build a hands-on partnership between BLM and a local college within roughly a 35-mile radius of Safford, Arizona, along with community affiliates and volunteers, to create practical STEM learning experiences tied directly to real BLM land and habitat management needs. The project is designed to translate BLM planning and conservation priorities into student-facing work, using opportunities already identified in BLM Management Plans, Habitat Management Plans, and related guiding documents.
The activities emphasized by the announcement are field- and project-based learning that supports BLM resource management while developing student skills. This includes inventory and monitoring work (for example, collecting and organizing data needed to understand habitat conditions or track changes over time), as well as participation in habitat restoration projects. A major focus is strengthening technical competencies that are directly useful in natural resource careers, especially GIS, mapping, and related spatial or data-management skills. In practice, the opportunity is meant to connect students with applied environmental and natural resource problems and give them experience working alongside land managers and community partners on projects with measurable outcomes.
The program anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. The award ceiling is $250,000 and the award floor is listed as $1, indicating BLM had flexibility in award sizing but expected to fund a single project up to the full amount available. There is no mandatory cost sharing or matching requirement, but cost sharing is encouraged, and the announcement notes that if cost share is provided by a third party, applicants should include a letter committing funds or expressing formal interest in supporting the project.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of applicant), but with an explicit preference for colleges or universities, which aligns with the student-learning and workforce-development emphasis. The funding activity categories are Education, Environment, and Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, signaling that the work is expected to contribute to conservation and resource management objectives while supporting education and training.
Key administrative details include the posted and creation date of August 7, 2012, an original and current closing date of August 24, 2012, and an archive date of September 21, 2012, meaning it is a historical opportunity that is no longer open. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, at 602-417-9268 and pstout@blm.gov, and an additional information link was provided through Grants.gov.
