Natural Resource Stewardship Program Curriculum Development | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Natural Resource Stewardship Program - Curriculum Development grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM AZ NOI 09 1270) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resources education and workforce development through curriculum creation. The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to stay actively involved with the recipient during the project period (for example, through coordination, technical input, or ongoing collaboration), rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The program is categorized under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA 15.237, Rangeland Resource Management, signaling that the instructional content is expected to connect to rangeland stewardship and broader public-land management topics.

The stated purpose is straightforward and narrowly defined: enable Phoenix College, identified as a Hispanic Serving Institution, to develop a new curriculum in Natural Resources Management. In practical terms, this points to building or expanding a structured set of courses, learning outcomes, and instructional materials that prepare students for work related to stewardship of natural resources. While the notice does not list specific required modules, a curriculum in natural resources management commonly covers areas such as rangeland ecology, watershed and riparian management, invasive species, soils, habitat conservation, fire ecology, grazing management, monitoring methods, and basic policy and regulatory frameworks used in public land decision-making. Because the funding is under rangeland resource management, it is reasonable to expect an emphasis on stewardship approaches that are relevant to rangelands in the Southwest, including field-based assessment and monitoring competencies.

Funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an expectation of one award, which suggests a single, targeted project rather than a broad competitive pool of many recipients. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant is not required to contribute non-federal funds to meet a match, which can reduce barriers for institutions developing new academic programs. The eligible applicant type listed is private institutions of higher education. The announcement also identifies Phoenix College as the intended institution in the description, so the practical intent appears to be support for that specific curriculum development effort.

Key timing information includes a posted date of June 17, 2009, with a creation date of June 23, 2009. The original closing date was July 1, 2009, later extended to a current closing date of July 17, 2009. The archive date is July 31, 2009, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and then moved into an archived status shortly afterward. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for full details and submission instructions.

For access and assistance, the announcement lists Paul Stout as the Grants Management Officer, with the email paulstout@blm.gov, and notes that he should be contacted if there are difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically. The additional information link provided is www.Grants.gov, which would typically host the official funding notice, required forms, application package, and any amendments or clarifications released during the open period.
