Opportunity Summary:
The "State of Nevada Recreation and Wilderness Projects" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NV NOI080008) is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management) and falls within the Natural Resources activity category. The notice was posted on April 4, 2008, with an original and current closing date of April 18, 2008, and an archive date of April 28, 2008.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that BLM intends to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In practice, that means the agency is signaling an intent to continue work through an existing or anticipated partner arrangement rather than running a standard competitive grant process where multiple applicants submit proposals for review.
The work described centers on continuing a partnership between BLM (State of Nevada), the State of Nevada, and the Great Basin Institute, building on a prior cooperative agreement established in 2003. The overall purpose is to promote environmental research, education, and conservation across the western United States, with a particular emphasis on recreation resource management in the Great Basin. The activities are strongly field-based and practical, focusing on on-the-ground stewardship and management tasks tied to recreation and wilderness settings.
Project activities highlighted in the notice include training and professional development opportunities for young professionals, especially through hands-on experience in collecting and analyzing data, performing small-scale site restoration, initiating and maintaining trails, and conducting monitoring activities throughout Nevada. In other words, the program is designed both to support land management outcomes (like improved trails and restored sites) and to develop a workforce pipeline by giving early-career professionals real operational experience working on public lands.
Funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $400,000 across an expected five awards. Individual awards are projected to range from a floor of $25,000 to a ceiling of $130,000. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the referenced partnership structure and the intent to fund without open competition.
For additional information or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 775-861-6559 or by email at skaller@blm.gov.
