Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity through its Nevada Winnemucca District Office to support an archaeological inventory project in the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area (NCA) and nearby designated Wilderness Areas. The core purpose of the project is to partner with an eligible institution to carry out cultural resource inventories, meaning systematic field surveys to locate, identify, and document archaeological resources on public lands. Work funded under this opportunity is intended to expand what is known about both the prehistory and history of the area by recording archaeological sites and compiling information that can be used for land management, resource protection, and future planning within the NCA and associated wilderness units.
The selected recipient(s) will be responsible for identifying and recording archaeological sites and producing documentation that captures the character, location, and significance of discovered cultural resources. In practical terms, this typically involves field-based inventory, standard site recording, and delivering associated data and narrative products that help the BLM understand what resources are present and how they relate to the broader cultural timeline of the region. Because this is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a simple grant, the expectation is that there will be substantial involvement by the BLM during the project, such as coordinating priorities, ensuring compliance with federal cultural resource requirements, and integrating results into BLM resource management systems.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00074) falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.238. The program anticipates making up to two awards. The estimated total funding available is $77,092, and the listed award amount per award is $17,092 (with both the award ceiling and award floor stated as $17,092). A cost-sharing or matching contribution is required under a Challenge Cost Share framework, meaning applicants must plan to contribute non-federal match consistent with the program requirements described in the full announcement materials.
Eligible applicants are limited to institutions of higher education, specifically public and state-controlled institutions and private institutions of higher education. The posting date for the announcement was April 24, 2012, with a creation date of May 4, 2012. The key administrative change in Modification 1 is an extension of the application deadline: the original closing date of May 8, 2012 was moved to a current closing date of June 8, 2012. Aside from the deadline extension, the BLM indicates that all other terms and information in the Request for Applications remain unchanged. The opportunity was scheduled to be archived on July 8, 2012.
Applicants were directed to use the application materials available through the announcement’s application package. For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Gretchen W. Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6740 or by email at geykelbosh@blm.gov.
