Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV 2016 Round 9 Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative (LCAI), administered by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through the Ely District Office, is a discretionary grant opportunity focused on archaeology and cultural resources work on public lands in Lincoln County, Nevada. The program runs as an annual initiative where an Archaeological Resources Team, guided by oversight groups known as the Partners Working Group and the Executive Committee, sets the year s priority needs and then invites project proposals that directly respond to those priorities. In practical terms, this round is designed to fund on the ground archaeological projects that help document, protect, research, and manage cultural resources in the county in line with BLM goals and the LCAI framework.
Projects must take place specifically on public lands within Lincoln County, Nevada, and applicants are expected to follow the Lincoln County Implementation Agreement requirements. The notice makes clear that eligibility is broad (essentially open to any type of applicant, including members of the public, universities, and non governmental organizations), but proposals still have to meet the program s rules and the criteria described in the implementation guidelines to be considered. That means location alone is not enough: the project must be built to match the initiative s established priorities and must satisfy the standards laid out in the agreement referenced in the opportunity description.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the BLM expects to be meaningfully involved during the project period (for example, through coordination, technical input, review, or shared planning), rather than providing a hands off subaward. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the listed CFDA number is 15.224, tying the opportunity to federal assistance for BLM related resource programs. The opportunity number is L16AS00017.
For this 2016 Round 9 posting, the application deadline was March 18, 2016 (original and current closing dates match). The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was 250,000 dollars, and the BLM anticipated making about three awards. The opportunity was created and posted on January 13, 2016, signaling a roughly two month window for proposal development and submission in that cycle. Overall, the grant is best understood as a targeted annual funding round intended to implement Lincoln County specific archaeological priorities on BLM managed public lands, with applicants required to align tightly with the established LCAI guidelines and nomination criteria.
