Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity titled "BLM AZSITE Support Cultural Resource Data Sharing" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00219) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to help sustain and improve AZSITE, Arizona's statewide cultural resources inventory. The core aim is to ensure AZSITE can continue maintaining, expanding, and updating a centralized dataset that serves a wide range of users, including federal, state, and local entities. The opportunity recognizes that existing state and annual funding is not keeping pace with the volume of new cultural resource information being generated and the ongoing need to revise and modernize older records, which creates gaps and delays for agencies that rely on timely, accurate data.
The project is framed around practical federal land management needs. AZSITE houses information on recorded cultural resources such as prehistoric and historic sites and properties, along with data from surface surveys and broader cultural inventories. BLM and other federal agencies use these records to meet legal and public expectations for identifying, evaluating, and managing culturally significant places. The announcement also ties this need to broader societal pressures, particularly energy development and resource conservation, where project planning and environmental review often depend on dependable cultural resource data. In short, the grant is meant to provide financial assistance so AZSITE can support federal agencies proposing and reviewing projects that may affect cultural resources, while improving the overall quality and availability of cultural resource information statewide.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $4,500, and it anticipates making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management) and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments and county governments, signaling the intent to fund public-sector partners who can manage and steward statewide datasets and coordinate with multiple levels of government.
The timeline in the notice is tight and specific. The opportunity was posted on August 22, 2013, and the closing date for electronic submission through Grants.gov was August 30, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, with late proposals explicitly not considered. The archive date is listed as September 10, 2013. For applicants needing help accessing the announcement or navigating the process, the listed point of contact is Eddie W. Bell Jr., Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 602-417-9268 or ebell@blm.gov. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov.
