Opportunity Summary:
The BLM AK Cultural Resources Inform Data Sharing opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00196) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.224, Cultural Resource Management. It is designed to support cultural resource management work in Alaska by continuing an existing partnership between the BLM and the State of Alaska's Office of History and Archaeology (OHA). In practical terms, it funds information sharing and related efforts that help maintain, improve, and keep current the state's inventory of archaeological sites and cultural resources, with particular attention to sites located on or associated with BLM-managed lands. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, it implies active involvement and coordination between BLM and the recipient during the period of performance, rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
This opportunity is explicitly a continuation of an earlier agreement (L09AC15336) that was already in place and set to expire on September 30, 2014. The underlying project began in 1998 with Alaska OHA and is tied to the BLM National Programmatic Agreement supporting compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. That national agreement was originally signed in 1997 and later revised in 2012, and it establishes expectations for how BLM coordinates cultural resource compliance and consultation responsibilities. A key element reflected here is BLM providing support to State Historic Preservation-type offices in the western states (noted as 12 western states) to strengthen site inventory systems and to collaborate on shared priorities related to the preservation and appropriate use of cultural resources. While this particular announcement is Alaska-specific, it sits within that broader multi-state framework.
Funding for the award is estimated at $100,000 total, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $500, and the BLM anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally means the recipient is not required to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds (though project budgets still must meet any applicable federal cost principles and cooperative agreement requirements). The eligible applicant category is limited to state governments, which aligns with the intent to fund the State of Alaska's Office of History and Archaeology as the primary partner maintaining the statewide cultural resources inventory and data systems.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 8, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2014, and it was later archived on December 30, 2018. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting BLM's land stewardship mission and the role cultural resources play in land use planning, environmental review, and compliance. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Betty Lockard, Grants Management Officer, at 907-267-1213 or blockard@blm.gov, and the general additional information link points to Grants.gov.
