Opportunity Summary:
The Standards for Boundary Evidence (SBE) Implementation Project is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity intended to fund the development of distance learning training focused on federal Standards for Boundary Evidence procedures. The project centers on creating online training courses that teach how to apply the SBE processes and requirements set out in key Department of the Interior and BLM policy documents, specifically 303 DM 7, BLM Instruction Memorandum (IM) No. 2011-122, and 600 DM 5 (noted as draft in the notice). The overall purpose is practical and service-oriented: to improve the consistency and quality of land tenure and boundary-related services performed for federal and trust lands, including Federal lands, Indian lands, Indian tribes, individual Indian landowners, and Alaska Native communities.
A defining feature of this opportunity is that the training is designed to be built by and for registered private land surveyors (RPLS) who participate in the Certified Federal Surveyor (CFedS) Program. In other words, the grant targets professional development for private-sector surveyors who support federal boundary evidence and land tenure work, with the expectation that stronger training will translate into better documentation, better boundary evidence practices, and improved outcomes when surveyors work on matters affecting federal and tribal trust responsibilities. The project emphasizes scalable distance learning (DL), suggesting a goal of reaching surveyors broadly and efficiently rather than relying on limited in-person instruction.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies a closer working relationship between the awarding agency and the recipient compared to a standard grant, including substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project as it is carried out. The opportunity is categorized under the Education funding activity, reinforcing that the deliverable is training/course development rather than field survey work itself.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $10,000. Only one award is expected. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) toward the project, consistent with the terms set in the full announcement.
Eligibility is narrowly directed. The notice states this is a notice of intent to make an award to the National Society of Professional Surveyors, and the eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with clarification provided in the full eligibility text. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 15.239 (Management Initiatives). The opportunity was posted and created on July 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2014, and an archive date of September 30, 2014, indicating it is an archived opportunity rather than an open competition today.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full announcement details, the notice points to Grants.gov and provides a BLM grants management contact: Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer, at 202-912-7098 and ltclayton@blm.gov.
