Opportunity Summary:
The FA BLM New Mexico State Wide Internship Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00077) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity designed to place paid interns in BLM field offices across New Mexico to support on-the-ground public lands and natural resource management work. The core purpose is twofold: to help BLM complete priority resource management tasks in the state, and to strengthen the future workforce by giving recent college graduates and graduate students practical, science-based experience in stewardship, conservation, and public land management.
Under this cooperative agreement, the selected recipient organization hires interns and then assigns them to BLM New Mexico field offices, where they work under the mentorship of BLM staff specialists. Internships are flexible in length, ranging from a minimum of 3 months up to a maximum of 36 months, depending on program needs and available funding. The program is meant to expose interns to a broad range of disciplines connected to environmental and natural resource management, including biology, ecology, endangered species work, and the conservation of both sensitive and non-sensitive species and habitats. Intern placements also support a wide set of BLM resource programs such as wildlife management, botany and plant conservation, rangeland management, geology, engineering, forestry, recreation, NEPA-related work, GIS/GPS, hydrology, soil science, cultural resources, natural resource management, and business or administrative functions that keep field operations running.
The duties described for interns are wide-ranging and practical, reflecting real workload needs in field offices. Examples include native seed collection; identifying, surveying, and documenting special status plants and animals; conducting inventories, collections, and field studies; vegetation monitoring; inventorying and treating non-native or noxious weeds; forestry inventory work; and data entry and data management. The program also includes cultural and land health components such as archeological inventory, as well as work tied to legacy land issues and safety concerns like identifying and inventorying abandoned mine lands. Some assignments may involve collecting measurements in mine settings, analyzing field data, and supporting project construction, implementation, and monitoring. Overall, the internship experience is structured to build job-ready skills while producing tangible work products and field results that directly support BLM priorities.
Funding for the opportunity was listed with an estimated total of $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $30,000, and BLM anticipated making one award. The opportunity falls under CFDA numbers 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute resources alongside federal funds as part of the overall project budget. While the opportunity category is described as “unrestricted” in terms of applicant types, eligibility is specifically aimed at qualified youth or conservation corps programs, defined as state, local, tribal, or nonprofit programs capable of providing meaningful full-time work for individuals ages 16 through 25 in natural, cultural, or resource settings, combined with training, education, support services, and civic development through service.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of May 16, 2014, with a closing date of June 13, 2014, and an archive date of July 14, 2014. The agency contact listed for access or application issues is Charise P. Saiz, Grants Management Officer, at 505-761-8725 and csaiz@blm.gov.
