Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), through its Nevada Winnemucca District Office, offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) program to support an archaeological inventory project in the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area (NCA). The central purpose of the award was to partner with an outside entity to carry out cultural resource inventories across the NCA, its associated Wilderness Areas, and nearby surrounding lands. The work emphasized locating, identifying, documenting, and recording archaeological sites, and compiling information that helps explain both the prehistoric and historic human use of the area. In practical terms, the project was aimed at improving BLM's knowledge base for cultural resources so those resources can be better understood and considered in future land management and protection decisions.
This funding opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project (such as coordinating priorities, reviewing deliverables, and helping align the work with agency standards and management needs), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency participation. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was tied to CFDA number 15.238. The announcement stated that the recipient would be responsible for field and/or desk-based inventory efforts consistent with cultural resource practices, including producing formal records of identified sites and providing interpretive context on the region's history and prehistory.
The opportunity number was L12AS00141 and it anticipated making a single award. The estimated total funding and maximum award amount were both listed as $77,092, with an award floor of $17,092. The announcement did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of eligibility. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that it was issued under the CESU framework, which is designed to support partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education related to ecosystem and resource management.
Key dates show it was posted and created on June 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2012, and an archive date of September 1, 2012. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the posting system. For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact was Gretchen W. Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at (775) 861-6740 or by email at geykelbosh@blm.gov.
