Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00282
The "Bureau of Land Management Nevada Environmental Quality and Protection" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00282) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource work that supports environmental quality and protection efforts in Nevada. Awards are made as cooperative agreements, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project compared to a standard grant. The opportunity was created on March 22, 2022, and the original application closing date was May 25, 2022. The maximum award amount listed is $30,000, and the notice indicates expected awards but does not provide a specific number.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit or education-sector entities rather than private commercial applicants. 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; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), so proposals must come from an eligible organization type.
A key restriction in this NOFO is that it does not support projects that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the specific legal authority used for BLM to "hire" interns through those mechanisms, and this particular environmental quality and protection NOFO is not the vehicle for that. As a result, youth conservation corps and similar youth-focused applicants are directed to pursue youth-crew or intern-based project ideas under a different, designated funding opportunity: CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.243, "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands," rather than submitting those types of proposals here.
In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at supporting Nevada-based projects that advance environmental quality and protection on or related to public lands and BLM management objectives, using a cooperative agreement structure and a relatively modest award size (up to $30,000). Applicants that are eligible should frame proposals around environmental quality/protection outcomes and coordination with BLM rather than workforce-internship programming, and they should ensure their proposed activities align with the natural resources funding activity category and the program’s restrictions on intern/crew hiring under the Public Lands Corps authority.Apply for L22AS00282
