Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00418
The BLM IIJA Bureau of Land Management (AK) Wildlife Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00418) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, focused on wildlife resource management work in Alaska. The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the project (for example, coordinating on technical approaches, reviewing progress, or collaborating on implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency participation). The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 15.247.
Eligibility is limited to government entities, certain educational institutions, tribal governments and organizations, and nonprofit organizations. Specifically eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education, since those are listed separately). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this notice of funding opportunity, so applications from private persons or commercial businesses would not be considered.
A key restriction in the announcement is that this NOFO does not support projects that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the legislative authority that allows BLM to hire interns under that specific authority, and that this wildlife resource management NOFO is not the vehicle for those types of youth hiring or crew-based youth conservation efforts. As a result, Youth Conservation Corps or similar eligible youth-focused entities are directed to pursue youth internship or crew project concepts under a different funding announcement: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands, rather than attempting to include that component within this Alaska wildlife resource management opportunity.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $70,000. The posting shows an original closing date of September 30, 2022, and a creation date of July 27, 2022. The number of expected awards is not clearly stated in the provided source text, which suggests it may not have been specified in the summary data or was left blank at the time of posting.
In practical terms, this opportunity is best read as a targeted Alaska-focused BLM wildlife management funding announcement intended for public agencies, tribes, nonprofits, and educational institutions to carry out natural resource and wildlife-related work with BLM collaboration, but without using the award as a mechanism to staff projects through Public Lands Corps-style internship or youth crew hiring. Entities whose project design depends on youth crews or intern hiring under that authority are pointed toward the separate youth conservation NOFO instead.Apply for L22AS00418
