Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant announcement for a single cooperative agreement focused on protecting and monitoring cultural resources on public lands in Clark County, Nevada. It is tied to the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) program (CFDA 15.235) and is intended to strengthen and sustain the Interagency Clark County Cultural Site Stewardship Program. In practical terms, the BLM is looking for a partner to help conserve significant cultural sites, improve coordination across agencies, and expand the network of trained volunteers and partner organizations that support ongoing cultural site monitoring.
The core purpose is cultural resource protection through organized stewardship and monitoring. The project emphasizes on-the-ground site monitoring, stewardship engagement, and cooperative interagency support, meaning the partner would likely work closely with BLM and other stakeholders to identify monitoring needs, coordinate volunteer efforts, and help implement consistent monitoring practices that can detect impacts such as vandalism, unauthorized collection, off-highway vehicle damage, erosion, or other threats to archaeological and historic sites. The opportunity also highlights a longer-term objective: building economic sustainability for the stewardship program through an enduring partnership with the State, suggesting the BLM wants a structure that can persist beyond a single funding cycle by strengthening institutional capacity, leveraging state involvement, and broadening support.
Although the eligibility category is listed as unrestricted, the announcement text makes clear that the BLM intends to partner with the State of Nevada State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) because it is considered particularly well suited to carry out this work. That indicates the project is designed around close state-federal collaboration and cultural resource expertise, and the cooperative agreement format reinforces that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in planning, coordination, and execution rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal engagement.
Funding is fixed at $110,000 total, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $110,000, and the BLM expects to make one award. There is no cost-share or matching requirement listed. The opportunity was posted July 20, 2012, with an application deadline of August 10, 2012, and it was archived September 10, 2012. The administering agency is the Bureau of Land Management, and the activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting the intersection of public land management and cultural heritage protection.
For application access and full instructions, the notice points applicants to the announcement package under the application materials. The listed point of contact for questions or difficulties accessing the full announcement is Gretchen W. Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6740 or geykelbosh@blm.gov.
