Opportunity Summary:
The Nellis Dunes Recreational Area Dust Exposure and Human Health Risk Assessment GBCESU Project (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00022) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The central purpose of the project is to evaluate potential human health risks associated with exposure to airborne dust at the Nellis Dunes Recreational Area (NDRA), looking specifically at dust generated by both recreational use (such as off-highway vehicle activity and other visitor-related disturbance) and non-recreational sources or activities that may contribute to dust in the area. In practical terms, the work implied by the announcement is a risk assessment effort focused on understanding where dust exposure may occur, how people may come into contact with it, and what that means for human health under different activity patterns and conditions.
The opportunity was posted on February 10, 2011, with creation dated February 11, 2011, and it operated on a short application timeline, originally closing February 20, 2011, and later extending to February 22, 2011. The announcement was archived on March 15, 2011. BLM anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), and the funding level was fixed rather than a range: the estimated total funding was $2,420,595, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $2,420,595. This indicates the agency intended to fund one comprehensive project at a predetermined amount, rather than multiple smaller awards or variable budgets.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any applicant type, with the caveat that applicants should review any clarifications contained in the full announcement (referenced as being available via Grant.gov). The program is associated with CFDA number 15.235, Southern Nevada Public Land Management, placing it within the broader context of federal efforts to manage public lands and address environmental and public health considerations in Southern Nevada. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the award structure typically implies substantial involvement by BLM during project performance, such as coordination on study design, data needs, deliverables, and how findings will support land management decisions. While the brief synopsis provided does not list detailed tasks, a project framed as a dust exposure and human health risk assessment commonly encompasses activities such as characterizing dust sources and emission conditions, measuring or modeling airborne particulate concentrations, evaluating exposure pathways for different user groups (for example, frequent recreational visitors, nearby workers, or other potentially affected populations), and translating exposure estimates into health risk characterizations. The end goal is generally to produce decision-relevant findings that can inform management actions, mitigation strategies, public guidance, or future monitoring priorities at NDRA.
For access to the full announcement and application instructions, the opportunity directed applicants to Grant.gov through the additional information link. The listed point of contact for assistance was Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable at 775-861-6559 or via email at susankaller@blm.gov.
