Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA California Office of Historic Preservation Partnership (COHPP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00185) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support a formal partnership with the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). The purpose is to help implement the State Protocol and strengthen shared cultural resource stewardship goals between BLM and OHP. In practical terms, the funding is meant to improve how heritage and historic resources are managed, protected, and understood across California, especially where BLM responsibilities and state historic preservation systems overlap.
This opportunity focuses on several connected activities. A key part of the work is public outreach and education related to heritage preservation, meaning the partnership is expected to support efforts that inform communities and stakeholders about cultural resources and why preservation matters. Another major component is enabling OHP participation in BLM cultural resources operations through travel support. The grant can cover OHP travel costs for attending BLM cultural resources training sessions, participating in field office audits, and joining field inspections for specific projects when needed. These on-the-ground interactions are intended to promote consistent standards, better coordination, and stronger working relationships as cultural resource decisions are made and implemented.
The grant also emphasizes improving cultural resource information systems and records management. Funding can be used to support OHPs ongoing efforts to strengthen general records management and to continue developing databases that store and organize cultural resources information. This includes work by Information Centers to digitize and standardize data, which typically means converting paper or legacy records into digital formats and aligning data fields and standards so information can be searched, compared, and used more reliably statewide. The opportunity also mentions reviews and digitization of BLM-specific data when mutually agreeable, highlighting that the partnership is meant to be collaborative and tailored to shared priorities rather than one-sided data work.
Another notable element is the commitment to continued coordination on statewide database initiatives. The grant supports ongoing opportunities for BLM to comment on how statewide cultural resources database projects might affect the BLM mission. This reflects an awareness that database policies, access rules, data standards, and modernization efforts can influence federal land management workflows, compliance processes, and resource protection strategies. By building structured feedback and coordination into the partnership, the program aims to reduce conflicts, improve compatibility between systems, and ensure cultural resource data initiatives support both statewide preservation goals and BLM operational needs.
From a funding and eligibility standpoint, the program anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling is $100,000 and the award floor is $500, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, aligning with the fact that OHP is a state entity. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), which fits the focus on historic preservation coordination, training, inspections, and data and records modernization.
Key dates for the original posting show it was posted July 7, 2014, with a closing date of August 4, 2014, and it was later archived on December 31, 2018.
