Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "AMS Radiocarbon Dating of Late Prehistoric Sites on Bureau of Reclamation Lands in Western Nebraska and Kansas" (Funding Opportunity Number R13SS60014), was published by the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement. The listing is specifically labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, which generally indicates the agency has identified a recipient or intends to move forward with an award rather than running a fully open competitive solicitation. The activity category is listed under "Other," clarified as Cultural Resources, and it falls under CFDA 15.511, Cultural Resources Management. In practical terms, the project is focused on cultural resource work related to late prehistoric archaeological sites on Bureau of Reclamation-managed lands in western Nebraska and Kansas, using AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) radiocarbon dating to establish or refine chronologies for those sites.
The expected funding level for the project is modest and targeted. The estimated total funding is $40,000, and the award ceiling is also $40,000, with an award floor of $1, signaling that the agency anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a maximum value of forty thousand dollars. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants or the selected recipient would not be required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the Bureau of Reclamation would typically anticipate having substantial involvement in the work, such as coordinating project tasks, setting technical expectations, collaborating on research design, or overseeing deliverables and compliance related to cultural resources.
Eligibility is broad on paper. The announcement states that eligible applicants may include federal or state agencies, educational or scientific organizations, institutions, corporations, associations, or qualified individuals capable of carrying out the purposes of the relevant act. The eligibility field is also marked as "Others," with an additional eligibility clarification, which reinforces that this is not limited to a narrow set of entities. That said, because the posting is a Notice of Intent to Award, the practical opportunity for new applicants at the time may have been limited compared to a typical open call, since agencies often use this format when they already intend to make an award to a particular organization based on specific authority, partner relationships, unique capabilities, or continuity of work.
The key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on June 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of July 28, 2013. This short window is consistent with a notice-style posting rather than a long competitive application period. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to contact Irene Hoiby, Grants Management Specialist, at 406-247-7615. Overall, the opportunity represents a small, specialized cultural resources effort aimed at producing AMS radiocarbon dates for late prehistoric sites on Reclamation lands in the western Great Plains, with the resulting data likely intended to strengthen archaeological interpretations, support cultural resources management decisions, and improve the agency's ability to meet its stewardship and compliance responsibilities.
