Opportunity Summary:
The Joint Fire Science Program Student Travel Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00021) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Wildland Fire Research and Studies Program (CFDA 15.232). The core purpose of the award is to support the development and administration of a graduate student travel assistance program, meaning the funded organization would be responsible for setting up and running a program that helps graduate students travel to relevant professional, scientific, or program-related events connected to wildland fire science and management. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating on program design, priorities, reporting expectations, or implementation details.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The notice lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds to be considered. The posted date for the announcement was February 8, 2011, with an original closing date of February 25, 2011, later extended to a current closing date of March 11, 2011. The archive date was March 31, 2011, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and was formally archived after the application window closed.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practice, that means eligible applicants would generally be independent nonprofit entities capable of administering a small grants or travel-award style program for graduate students, while universities themselves were not eligible to apply directly under this announcement. Award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0 in the source data, which usually reflects how the listing was configured rather than implying that no funding would be provided; the estimated total funding amount is the more informative figure for understanding the scale of support.
For applicants or interested parties who needed access to the full announcement or had technical issues retrieving it electronically, the notice provided a point of contact: Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer, reachable at (208) 373-3817 or christineshaver@blm.gov. An additional information link was also provided through Grants.gov, where the full text of requirements, application instructions, reporting, and any specific program design expectations would have been posted.
