Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA Fossil Lake Archaeological Salvage and Curation, Lakeview District, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00290) to support continued paleontological salvage work at the Fossil Lake site in Oregon. The core purpose of the project is to recover vulnerable paleontological materials from federal land where the site has been repeatedly looted over time by unknown individuals. By actively salvaging materials at risk of being stolen or destroyed, the project aims to prevent the permanent loss of scientific and cultural information that would otherwise disappear once specimens are removed without documentation.
The scope of work emphasizes three connected outcomes: salvage, analysis, and curation. First, the effort focuses on removing significant specimens and associated contextual information from the Fossil Lake locality in a controlled and professionally documented way. Second, the recovered materials are expected to be analyzed so they can contribute to scientific understanding rather than simply being stored. Third, the grant supports proper curation, meaning long-term preservation and management of the collected specimens and records so they remain accessible and useful. The long-term intent is to make the preserved data available for research and for public interpretation, specifically through publications and museum-style displays or similar educational presentations.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, indicating that BLM anticipated substantial involvement or coordination with the recipient during the project rather than issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, with the CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), placing it within the federal framework for protecting and managing cultural and scientifically important resources on public lands.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The announcement listed an award floor of $1 and a ceiling of $3,000, suggesting either a structured funding approach with smaller individual project components or an inconsistency between the estimated total and the per-award ceiling as recorded in the listing; applicants would typically verify these figures in the full announcement on Grants.gov. Cost sharing or matching was not required, reducing barriers for qualified applicants that may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was described as "unrestricted," meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications provided in the full solicitation. Key administrative dates included a posted and created date of August 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2010, and an archive date of August 17, 2011. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed grants management contact was Walter Ullrey, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 503-808-6230 or by email at wullrey@blm.gov, with additional information hosted through Grants.gov.
