Opportunity Summary:

The SNPLMA Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area Trails Project Phase II (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00019) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.235, Southern Nevada Public Land Management. The opportunity is designed to support natural resource work in Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area, with an emphasis on collaborative, on-the-ground trail and visitor-use improvements that also advance conservation and environmental education goals.

At its core, the project focuses on engaging young Americans in practical conservation work tied to trails. The activities highlighted in the announcement include trail creation, trail designation, trail restoration, and the development or installation of signage. The intent is not only to improve recreation infrastructure and resource protection through better trail systems, but also to use the work as a hands-on educational and stewardship experience. Because the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial involvement from the BLM during planning and implementation, rather than operating entirely independently as they might under a standard grant.

Funding for this Phase II effort is fixed at an estimated total of $200,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $200,000, and the BLM anticipates making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means proposals are not required to provide non-federal match to be eligible (though applicants sometimes still propose leveraged resources if they strengthen the overall project approach).

Eligible applicants are limited to institutions of higher education, specifically private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on December 16, 2013, and had a closing date of December 27, 2013 (with the same date listed as the original and current closing date), and it was later archived on January 27, 2014. For applicants at the time, the full application instructions and package were provided through the announcement's application materials, and the listed point of contact was Gretchen Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6740 or geykelbosh@blm.gov for assistance accessing the full announcement.
