Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Colorado Gunnison Basin Archaeological Research Program (GBARP) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant opportunity focused on cultural resource management in the Gunnison Basin of Colorado. The core purpose of the program is to strengthen understanding of the region's prehistoric peoples through archaeological field work and then actively share the resulting knowledge with both the scientific community and the general public. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at supporting research that produces defensible, field-based archaeological information and turns that information into usable products such as analyses, reports, and outreach materials that expand what is known about Gunnison Basin prehistory and make those findings accessible beyond a narrow specialist audience.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management rather than operating as a completely independent award. The total estimated funding for the opportunity is $30,000, with an award ceiling of $30,000 and an award floor of $1,500, and the Bureau anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which lowers the barrier for eligible institutions that may not have additional funds to contribute. The program is tied to CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.224, listed under Cultural Resource Management, reinforcing that the work is intended to support stewardship, documentation, research, and interpretation of cultural resources under BLM management.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, so the intended applicants are typically state universities and similar public academic entities with archaeological expertise, faculty leadership, and the ability to manage field research and public-facing dissemination. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as cultural resource management, which signals that while the work is research-oriented, it also aligns with federal land management responsibilities related to identifying, understanding, and responsibly managing archaeological resources.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted June 19, 2012, created June 27, 2012, with an original closing date of June 29, 2012 and a revised (current) closing date of July 6, 2012. The archive date is July 19, 2012, indicating it was a short-window solicitation typical of some targeted cooperative agreement opportunities. The funding opportunity number is L12AS00128, and the full announcement and application package were provided through the "application" tab referenced in the listing.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Ruth A. Raisanen, Grants Management Officer at the Bureau of Land Management, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 and by email at rraisane@blm.gov.
