Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM AK CESU University of Alaska Fairbanks, Athabascan Place Names" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00085) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on cultural resource management and natural resources work in Alaska. It was offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to stay substantially involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The project was tied to the CESU National Network (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units), a partnership framework that links federal agencies with universities, tribes, and other organizations to support research and land management needs using established collaborative agreements.
The central purpose of the opportunity was to document and preserve Alaskan Athabascan ethnogeographic knowledge, with particular attention to Athabascan place names and related cultural landscape information connected to the Steese National Conservation Area and surrounding regions. The work described involved sending recognized experts to meet with Athabascan elders who hold place-based knowledge of the area, then conducting interviews to gather ethnogeographic data. In practical terms, this kind of effort typically supports improved understanding of culturally significant locations, traditional land use patterns, historical travel corridors, and meanings embedded in Indigenous place naming, all of which can inform public land management, interpretation, and cultural resource protection.
The funding was limited to one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000 (the award floor was listed as $500). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible. The eligible applicant category was public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the title reference to the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the CESU partnership model.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 29, 2014, with both the original and current closing date listed as May 29, 2014. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.224, identified here as Cultural Resource Management. The announcement was later archived on December 30, 2018. The funding activity category was listed as Natural Resources, reflecting the land management context in which cultural and ethnogeographic data collection would be applied.
For additional details and official documents, the listing pointed applicants to Grants.gov. A specific BLM contact was provided for access issues: Betty Lockard, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 907-267-1213 or blockard@blm.gov.
