Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV Ely DO 2012 Round 6 Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative (LCAI) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00288) is a discretionary funding program run by the Bureau of Land Management that supports archaeological and cultural resource management work in Lincoln County, Nevada. The program is structured around annually defined priorities that are set by the Archaeological Resources Team, with oversight from a Partners Working Group and an Executive Committee. In practical terms, that means applicants are expected to design projects that directly respond to the current LCAI priority needs rather than proposing unrelated archaeology work.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which typically involve substantial involvement by the federal agency during planning and execution, rather than a hands-off pass-through award. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing is 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), reflecting the focus on inventory, evaluation, protection, and stewardship of archaeological resources. The opportunity anticipated making about six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $100,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $1,000,000, depending on project scope and available funds. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning proposals could come from a wide range of applicants, including members of the public, universities, and non-governmental organizations, as long as they satisfied any eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. Even with broad eligibility, the program’s core gatekeeping requirements are strict: proposed work must take place on public lands within Lincoln County, Nevada, and projects must comply with all guidelines in the Lincoln County Implementation Agreement. The notice makes clear that nominations that do not meet these location and compliance criteria will not be considered at all, so geographic fit and adherence to the Implementation Agreement are central to whether an application is even reviewed.
The posting and application timeline for this round reflects a standard federal solicitation window. The opportunity was posted and created on September 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of October 31, 2012, and an archive date of November 30, 2012. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for complete requirements, and an additional information link was provided for accessing the full details. For help obtaining the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 775-861-6559 or by email at skaller@blm.gov.
