Opportunity Summary:
The Recreation Resource Management Assistant, Alaska opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM AK RFA09 0001) is a U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska funding announcement intended to support a cooperative partnership with an outside organization that can recruit, host, or otherwise provide interns. The basic idea is to place interns in a setting where they can learn how BLM Alaska approaches outdoor recreation work, particularly recreation inventories and recreation planning, while also contributing meaningful capacity to BLM field operations.
The project work is centered on public land recreation resource management and is designed to strengthen BLM efforts in public outreach, stewardship, and enhancement of public land resources. Interns supported through this partnership would help build and maintain outreach activities, assist with stewardship initiatives, and support improvements that enhance visitor experiences and resource protection. A clear geographic focus is identified: the project is based in Fairbanks, Alaska, with particular emphasis on the Steese National Conservation Area, suggesting that field and planning support would be tied to recreation values, visitor use considerations, and resource management needs in and around that landscape.
From a grants administration standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the period of performance (for example, coordination with BLM staff on work planning, priorities, deliverables, and oversight of intern activities). The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000 and an award floor of $12,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide a formal match to be eligible.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, indicating the competition was open to a broad range of applicant types as allowed under the announcement terms (subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full notice). Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on April 22, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 5, 2009, and an archive date of July 5, 2009. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov (www.grants.gov).
