Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA NEEDLES HORSETHIEF SPRINGS opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA NOI 09 5003) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management grant offered as a cooperative agreement focused on cultural resources in the Mojave Desert. The core purpose is to support studies and on-the-ground projects that improve understanding of the region's cultural resources, described as the visual and physical evidence of human occupation in the Mojave Desert dating back at least 12,000 years. In practical terms, this kind of work commonly includes research, documentation, analysis, and related field or archival efforts that help identify, interpret, and better manage archaeological sites, historic-era resources, cultural landscapes, and other traces of long-term human use of the desert environment.
This funding opportunity was categorized on Grants.gov as "Other" for both the opportunity category and funding activity category, with the category explanation clarifying that the focus area is Cultural Resources. Only one award was expected. The total estimated funding amount was $34,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also set at $34,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of potential award amounts. The CFDA listing associated with the announcement was 15.238, which corresponds to Department of the Interior assistance programs.
A cost-sharing component was required under a Challenge Cost Share approach, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal cost share or matching support as part of the overall project budget. This requirement typically implies that BLM expected some portion of the project costs to be covered by the applicant or partners, which may include cash contributions, allowable in-kind services, or other eligible matching resources depending on the cooperative agreement terms.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, so the intended applicants were universities and similar public academic entities. This aligns with the research-oriented nature of cultural resource work, where academic institutions often provide the specialized expertise for archaeological investigation, cultural resource inventories, data analysis, and preparation of reports or management recommendations.
The opportunity was posted and created on August 28, 2009. The original and current closing date were both September 8, 2009, and the archive date was September 15, 2009, reflecting a short application window typical of some targeted BLM cooperative agreement announcements. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time, and a contact was provided for access issues: Andralee Holden Hughes, Purchasing Office, reachable by phone at 951-697-5254 or by email at judyholden_hughes@ca.blm.gov.
