Opportunity Summary:
The IDAHO GEOLOGIC MAP grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00003) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). The purpose of the award was narrowly defined: to complete a new Idaho Geologic Map and deliver it in both digital and hard copy formats, prepared in line with professional geologic mapping standards. In practical terms, the work would be expected to produce a publishable statewide geologic map product supported by appropriate source data and cartographic conventions, suitable for resource management and environmental applications.
BLM anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with very small total available funding: an estimated $2,000 in total, with an award ceiling of $2,000 and an award floor of $1. Cost sharing or matching was not required, meaning applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible, although projects could still include leveraged resources if an applicant chose to do so. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, reflecting the map's intended use in land and resource planning, environmental analysis, and related public land management needs.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open broadly to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been provided in the full announcement materials. The opportunity was posted and created on November 19, 2010, with an original and final application deadline of December 17, 2010. It remained archived until November 19, 2011. Applicants were directed to use the "APPLICATION" tab in the full posting to access required forms and instructions.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at (208) 373-4018 or by email at melindaritacco@blm.gov.
