Opportunity Summary:
The Natural and Cultural Tribal Youth Field Camp grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00149) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Its central purpose was to support a field camp focused on natural and cultural resource education and outreach, with the broader goal of helping students become better stewards of public land resources. In practical terms, the opportunity was geared toward hands-on learning that connects youth to the management, protection, and understanding of public lands, including cultural resources that may involve historical, archaeological, or traditional Tribal significance alongside natural resource topics.
This opportunity used a cooperative agreement as its funding instrument, which typically means the agency expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. The activity category was listed under Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 15.224, Cultural Resource Management. The BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. Total estimated funding for the opportunity was listed as $50,000, while the specific award amount was fixed: both the award ceiling and award floor were $12,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, meaning the intended applicants were colleges and universities within the public sector rather than individuals, private entities, or non-profits. The posting date and creation date were both July 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2012. The archive date was September 1, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and is retained for historical reference. For applicants at the time, the announcement directed users to download full instructions and the application package via the Application tab in the posting system, and provided a point of contact for technical access issues: Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, at 406-896-5196 or landerso@blm.gov.
