Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice, issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), is about funding the maintenance and day-to-day operation of the North Slope Science Initiative (NSSI) intergovernmental website. The NSSI website serves as a shared platform for science and resource information relevant to Alaska's North Slope, supporting coordination and information access across agencies and partners working in natural resources and related fields. The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as participating in planning, oversight, or coordination connected to the website's operation and content management.
A key point in the notice is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that BLM intends to fund these activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that signals BLM had an intended approach or partner in mind and is publishing the notice to document and communicate that intent rather than soliciting proposals from the general public. Even though the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," the statement about not requesting applications and proceeding without full competition indicates this opportunity was not being run as a standard competitive grant cycle.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding under the natural resources activity area, with a CFDA listing of 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The notice anticipated one award in total. The estimated total funding amount is listed as $465,000, with an award ceiling of $465,000 and an award floor of $155,000, suggesting the final award amount could vary depending on the scope, period of performance, or negotiated work plan, but would not exceed the stated ceiling. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Timeline details indicate the notice was posted on April 10, 2008, with a creation date of April 15, 2008. The original and current closing date are both April 24, 2008, and the opportunity was archived on May 24, 2008. Even though closing dates are listed, the "not a request for applications" language is the controlling detail, meaning the dates likely relate to the public notice period or internal grants.gov administrative tracking rather than a window during which applications would be accepted in a typical competitive process.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 907-271-5193, with "Lotus Notes" referenced as an additional contact method (reflecting the email/groupware system commonly used in government offices at the time). The funding opportunity number is AK NOI08 0002, and the title is "Maintenance and operation of the North Slope Science Initiative (NSSI) intergovernmental website."
