Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV Ely District Office 2015 Round 8 Lincoln County Archaeological Initiative (LCAI) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00013) is a discretionary federal funding program administered by the Bureau of Land Management to support archaeological and cultural resource projects on public lands in Lincoln County, Nevada. The basic purpose is to fund work that aligns with locally established archaeological priorities for the LCAI program. Those priorities are set each year by the Archaeological Resources Team, operating under oversight from the Partners Working Group and an Executive Committee, and the program then solicits proposals from the public, universities, and nongovernmental entities that can carry out projects matching those priorities.
Projects proposed under this opportunity must be located specifically on public lands within Lincoln County, Nevada, and they must comply with the Lincoln County Implementation Agreement guidelines. The announcement emphasizes that meeting the Implementation Agreement criteria is not optional; proposals have to follow the required guidelines in order to be considered for nomination and funding. The Implementation Agreement is referenced as the governing framework for what kinds of activities qualify, how projects should be structured, and what standards must be met, and applicants are directed to the BLM website link in the announcement for those details.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordination, technical input, or joint participation during the period of performance. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing provided is 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). For this round, BLM anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $1,000,000. Individual award amounts were expected to range from $100,000 (award floor) to $400,000 (award ceiling). The opportunity states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, though applicants would still need to follow any detailed budget or allowability rules described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was broadly open to many types of entities, subject to any clarifications in the full text of the announcement. In practice, the description highlights proposals from the public, universities, and nongovernmental entities, and it frames the competition around submitting strong project proposals that directly address the annually identified LCAI priorities and satisfy the Implementation Agreement requirements.
Key dates for this specific announcement were a posted date of January 12, 2015, with an application closing date of March 13, 2015 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The archive date was April 13, 2015, indicating the announcement was later moved into an archived status after the application window closed. Anyone needing the complete announcement details was directed to use the full announcement link, and for access issues applicants could contact Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6559 or skaller@blm.gov.
