Opportunity Summary:
GeoCorps (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00001) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity focused on carrying out natural resource management projects on BLM-managed public lands while giving interns direct, hands-on exposure to federal land management work. The program was framed as both a project-delivery effort and a workforce-development pipeline: it aimed to complete on-the-ground resource management tasks and, at the same time, build an educated, field-experienced cohort of emerging professionals prepared to manage public lands. A major emphasis was increasing the number of interns with enough scientific background to support public-facing education, conduct research activities, and contribute to resource management projects.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement under the Education activity category, tied to CFDA 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). The total estimated funding for the opportunity was $250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and an award floor of $30,000. The listing projected one expected award and specified that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
This notice was not an open competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it explicitly stated it was a notice of intent to make an award to a known recipient and was not a request for applications. In other words, while it appeared on Grants.gov as a formal opportunity posting, it functioned as an informational announcement rather than something most organizations could apply to during the posting window.
Key dates show it was posted and created on October 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of November 13, 2014, and an archive date of December 13, 2014.
