Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CO SLV LIFEWAYS UNDERSTANDING CULTURAL LANDSCAPES TO INFORM PUBLIC LAND MANAGEMENT" was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on cultural resource management and public land decision-making in Colorado. The project, referred to as the SLV (San Luis Valley) Lifeways project, was designed to build on prior Cultural Continuity ethnography work. Its central purpose was to deepen understanding of traditional cultural landscapes, connect those landscapes to regional history and patterns of public land use, and use that knowledge to both engage the public and provide BLM with better cultural context for managing public lands.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM anticipated an active partnership role rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The work fell under the Natural Resources activity category and carried the CFDA number 15.224 for Cultural Resource Management. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. The award ceiling was $30,000 and the award floor was $7,500, indicating the BLM could consider a smaller scoped project but expected the full project to fit within the $30,000 maximum. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally lowers the barrier to participation because the recipient would not have to contribute non-federal funds to meet a match requirement.
Eligibility for this funding was limited and specific. While the listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility information explicitly identifies Adams State University as the eligible applicant, suggesting this was effectively a targeted or sole-source style assistance action intended for that institution due to unique qualifications, prior involvement, or established capacity related to the Cultural Continuity ethnography in the San Luis Valley. In practical terms, this means the opportunity was not broadly open to the general public or a wide pool of universities and nonprofits, even though it was posted as a funding opportunity.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 12, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2014. It was later archived on September 30, 2014. The short application window is consistent with a more narrowly scoped, specific-recipient cooperative agreement where the agency and recipient may already have a clear understanding of the work plan and deliverables and the posting is primarily for compliance and documentation.
For applicants or interested parties who needed access to the full announcement and detailed application instructions, the notice directed users to the "Application" tab to download complete materials. The point of contact listed for assistance, especially if there were difficulties accessing the announcement electronically, was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, reachable at ypier@blm.gov.
