Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Archaeological Data Recovery at Bureau of Reclamations Intake Diversion Dame, Lower Yellowstone Project" (Funding Opportunity Number R10SS60004) is a federal discretionary funding action issued by the Bureau of Reclamation in its Great Plains Region. It is specifically described as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not being offered as an open, competitive solicitation where multiple applicants submit proposals for review. Instead, the Bureau of Reclamation is signaling its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to a named recipient: the University of North Dakota, Department of Anthropology.
The purpose of the planned award is to support archaeological data recovery work, specifically archaeological excavations at sites associated with the Intake Diversion Dam component of the Lower Yellowstone Project. The announcement states that the excavation targets are sites that have already been evaluated and found eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. In practical terms, this means the work is aimed at recovering information from significant cultural resources that may be affected by federal construction, operations, maintenance, or related ground-disturbing activities. This type of activity commonly falls under cultural resources compliance and mitigation responsibilities connected to historic preservation requirements for federal agencies, with the excavation work designed to document, recover, and curate data and materials before impacts occur.
The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as collaboration on planning, coordination, oversight, review of deliverables, access to federal lands or project sites, and alignment with compliance needs and schedules. The funding activity is categorized under "Other," with an explanatory note indicating the eligible categories include federal or state agencies and educational or scientific organizations, which aligns with the intended recipient being a university anthropology department. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing is 15.511, Cultural Resources Management, placing the effort within the federal program area focused on identifying, evaluating, and protecting cultural and historic 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 $0. The expectation is for one award (Expected Awards: 1), consistent with the non-competitive nature of the notice and the stated intent to fund a specific institution. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a specified portion of project costs from non-federal sources as a condition of the award.
The timeline information shows the opportunity was posted on April 30, 2010, with a creation date of May 10, 2010. The original and current closing dates are both listed as May 15, 2010, and it was archived on May 16, 2010. These dates, combined with the Notice of Intent language, suggest the listing primarily served as a public transparency and administrative posting rather than a window for competitive applications. Eligibility is broadly described in the record as "Others," but the additional eligibility information clarifies the relevant types of entities as federal or state agencies and educational or scientific organizations.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the point of contact provided is Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684. The administering agency is the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, which is responsible for the project context and the cultural resources compliance needs prompting the archaeological data recovery work.
