Opportunity Summary:
The Land Management and Conservation Internship Opportunities in MT/Dakotas grant (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00007) was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Natural Resources activity category. It focused on building the next generation of conservation and land management professionals by training recent graduates in federal land management processes and policies, with a strong emphasis on work involving threatened, endangered, and sensitive species. The core purpose was not just classroom-style training, but practical, career-launching placement: participants would be placed into structured internship and mentoring opportunities with federal agencies so they could gain firsthand experience in how federal land management decisions are made and implemented.
The award was to be made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. While the announcement summary does not spell out the day-to-day mechanics, the intent is clear: an implementing organization would recruit or support recent graduates, provide training aligned with federal standards and needs, and coordinate real-world internships/mentorships in partnership with federal offices, likely including BLM and potentially other federal land management or wildlife-related agencies operating in Montana and the Dakotas.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 with an expectation of one award. Individual project funding levels were bounded by an award floor of $2,500 and an award ceiling of $114,000, indicating the program could support a range of internship-related costs and project scales within the broader initiative. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which would have reduced barriers for applicants that might not have significant non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications that would have been included in the full announcement text. The grant was associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which aligns with the conservation and species-focused mission described in the program summary.
The opportunity was posted and created on November 29, 2012, with an original and final closing date of December 20, 2012, and it was archived on January 30, 2013. For applicants at the time, the announcement indicated that full instructions and the application package were available via the application materials link, and provided a point of contact for access issues: Lori Anderson at the BLM (phone 406-896-5196, email landerso@blm.gov).
