Opportunity Summary:
The Geoscience Intern Program at the National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center (NHOTIC) in the Vale District of Oregon is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity designed to support hands-on, field-based geoscience internships tied directly to active public land science projects. The core purpose is workforce development in the geosciences, giving student interns practical experience that builds real job skills while producing useful scientific and management outcomes for BLM-managed lands. In addition to the technical and field components, the opportunity also emphasizes public-facing benefits, since intern work is expected to support visitor outreach and interpretation efforts that help protect sensitive natural and cultural resources.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with a focus aligned to CFDA 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). The cooperative agreement structure signals that BLM anticipated an active role in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaboration on planning, coordination, oversight, or integration of intern work into ongoing agency priorities at NHOTIC and surrounding public lands.
Funding was modest and targeted, with an estimated total program amount of $20,000 and a stated award ceiling of $20,000 (with a listed award floor of $1). BLM expected to make one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, making it more accessible to organizations that could administer an internship but might not have extra resources to meet a match.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, as long as they met any clarifications contained in the full announcement. In practice for internship-style cooperative agreements, applicants are often organizations capable of recruiting, supporting, and supervising student interns (for example, universities, nonprofits, partner groups, or other institutions), but the posted eligibility category did not limit the applicant type on its face.
The timeline for the announcement shows it was posted on April 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 4, 2010, and it was archived on September 30, 2010. Interested parties at the time were directed to retrieve full details through Grants.gov using the funding opportunity number L10AS00029 and the title provided. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed contact was Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 503-808-6243 or by email at teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
