Opportunity Summary:

The BLM ID Cultural Resources Data Sharing grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00128) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It supports cultural resource management work in Idaho by continuing a long-running partnership between the BLM and the Idaho State Historical Society (ISHS). The core purpose is to strengthen how prehistoric and historic resources are fostered, educated about, protected, and managed, with a particular emphasis on improving the sharing and stewardship of related cultural resources data. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at supporting coordinated efforts that help the BLM and its state-level partner maintain better information systems, data practices, and management approaches that benefit cultural resource protection and decision-making on public lands.

This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. While the notice does not lay out detailed project tasks in the excerpt provided, the description signals programmatic work around cultural resource data and management, likely including activities such as organizing, standardizing, and sharing records that inform preservation planning, compliance work, and broader resource management strategies for archaeological and historic sites.

Funding for this announcement is estimated at $100,000 total, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and a nominal award floor of $1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally lowers the barrier for the eligible applicant to participate. Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating the intended recipient is a state entity such as ISHS rather than universities, tribes, local governments, nonprofits, or private organizations under this specific announcement.

The opportunity was posted on June 10, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 11, 2010, and it was archived on June 10, 2011. Application forms and instructions were provided through the announcement’s application materials (referenced as accessible via the “Application” tab in the original posting). For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 208-373-4018 or melindaritacco@blm.gov.
