Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management in California (DOI-BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "BLM CA Archaeological Partnership Conservation Outreach Education" (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00174) to support partnerships and public-facing efforts that improve understanding and stewardship of archaeological resources on BLM-managed public lands. The opportunity is framed around BLM's responsibilities under key land and cultural resource laws and policies, including the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and other related regulatory authorities. The core need identified is not a lack of interest in archaeology, but a gap in broad public and stakeholder understanding of why archaeological sites and materials are fragile, unique, and nonrenewable, and how those realities affect day-to-day management decisions on lands that must be managed for multiple uses.
The program emphasizes conservation outreach and education aimed at diverse constituencies who care about or interact with archaeological resources. It recognizes that many groups value these resources for different reasons, but that misunderstandings remain about the archaeological record itself, the long-term consequences of disturbance or looting, the practical methods used to protect sites, and the legal and management complexities that arise when cultural resource protection must be balanced alongside other land uses. In practical terms, this kind of grant typically supports collaborative work that helps translate cultural resource policy and science into accessible, meaningful public information and partnership activities, strengthening stewardship behaviors and improving alignment between BLM, partners, and the public.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued under CFDA 15.224 and categorized under Natural Resources, with funding provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency would expect active involvement in the project rather than a hands-off pass-through award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full notice. BLM anticipated making one award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $350,000. The notice was posted June 13, 2016, created the same day, and had an application deadline (original and current closing date) of August 12, 2016.
