Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Nevada Las Vegas Curatorial Program (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00038) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management to create a formal partnership, through a cooperative agreement, with an organization located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The central purpose was to help a qualified local entity expand its collections facility and carry out the full set of actions needed to meet Department of the Interior (DOI) regulations and recognized museum best practices so it could function as a federally approved repository for paleontological and archaeological collections. In practical terms, the project focus was on building the physical and administrative capacity required to properly curate, preserve, document, and manage federally owned scientific and cultural materials in accordance with federal standards.
The program fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was associated with CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total program funding was $250,000, with individual awards ranging from a floor of $4,164 up to an award ceiling of $50,000. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating technical requirements, compliance expectations, or deliverable review) rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
Eligibility was open to both public and private organizations, as specified by the legislative authority, and the listing categorized eligible applicants as "Others" with additional clarification in the full announcement. A key practical eligibility constraint stated in the description was location: the partner entity needed to be based in Las Vegas, Nevada. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although applicants could still choose to leverage other resources if that strengthened their proposal.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 13, 2015, with an original and final closing date of May 13, 2015. The archive date was June 13, 2015, indicating the opportunity is no longer open. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6559 or skaller@blm.gov.
