Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Arizona Strip District grant opportunity titled "Student Intern Program, BLM Arizona Strip District" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00023) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. The program is designed to establish a new partnership that can place students, interns, volunteers, and entry-level professionals into on-the-ground public lands work that supports the Arizona Strip Districts recreation, natural resource, and cultural resource management responsibilities. At its core, the opportunity is about building a practical pipeline of early-career talent while also improving the quality and timeliness of science and technical assistance used to manage BLM lands, including National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) units.
The BLM lays out several reasons for pursuing this agreement. First, the agency wants a reliable way to support high-quality scientific research and technical assistance tied directly to recreation management and the stewardship of natural and cultural resources on public lands. Second, the District is aiming to stay current by integrating the most up-to-date research and methods related to recreation impacts, natural resource conditions, and cultural resource considerations. Third, the BLM is explicitly looking to create an ongoing, effective, and efficient partnership rather than a one-off project arrangement. Fourth, the program is intended to give undergraduate and graduate students direct exposure to federal land management by working alongside BLM staff and gaining firsthand experience with field operations and decision-making processes. Fifth, the program is framed as a way to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of land management by increasing capacity for core tasks such as inventorying resources, monitoring conditions, assessing and interpreting results, and supporting public education and information efforts. The goal is to strengthen management of public lands for long-term public benefit by better understanding and communicating the conditions of natural, recreational, and cultural resources.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $5,000. The BLM expects to make one award. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number is 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). There is no formal cost sharing or matching requirement, but the announcement notes a preference from the BLM program officer for the recipient to commit up to 20 percent of annual BLM funding in support contributions, which could include labor, vehicles, or other equipment. That language indicates the program does not require match to be eligible, but proposals that can leverage additional resources may align better with the agencys stated preference.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity as allowed under the announcement, subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full notice. The submission process runs through Grants.gov, and timing is strict: the electronic proposal submission deadline is February 11, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, and late proposals are not considered. Key administrative details show the posting date as January 21, 2014, with an archive date of February 18, 2014.
