Opportunity Summary:
The BLM UT GSENM Archaeological Assessment grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00156) is a Bureau of Land Management cooperative agreement focused on cultural resource management within Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). The central idea is to partner with an outside organization to strengthen both resource protection and public education about the monument's cultural and archaeological heritage. Through a cooperative relationship, BLM intends for the selected partner to support the partner's own mission while also helping GSENM complete a range of priority cultural resource tasks that contribute to a more complete, on-the-ground understanding of the monument's sites and their current condition.
The project scope is broad and practical, emphasizing field-based archaeology as well as public-facing education and interpretation. On the technical side, work may include archaeological inventory (including pedestrian surveys in areas where coverage is incomplete), documentation of prehistoric and historic sites, analysis of findings, and production of reports that can be used for ongoing planning and compliance needs. The opportunity also highlights baseline data collection, specifically information about site locations, site types, distributions across the landscape, and the nature and extent of recreational impacts. In addition to initial inventory and assessment, monitoring of known cultural resource sites is part of the effort, helping track change over time and identify emerging risks.
Beyond standard archaeological documentation, the announcement also supports activities that connect people to the resource in responsible ways. These elements include collecting and processing oral histories, developing and delivering public educational and interpretive presentations or programs, preparing archaeological or historical publications, and conducting site stabilization where needed. The intent is not only to record cultural resources but to translate that work into better management decisions and improved interpretation for visitors and the public. By combining baseline research, impact assessment, monitoring, and education, the project is positioned as a foundational effort tied to the "Basic Understanding of GSENM resources," meaning it is meant to fill key information gaps that affect long-term stewardship.
Funding for the opportunity is listed with an estimated total of $200,000, with an award amount shown at $21,200 (both the ceiling and floor are $21,200), and BLM expected to make one award. The funding instrument is a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, indicating that any applicant type may apply unless further limitations are stated in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted July 6, 2011, with a closing date of July 20, 2011, and it was archived September 30, 2011. For access issues or questions, the contact listed is Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer, at 801-539-4178 or mariagochis@blm.gov, with the general announcement link referenced through Grants.gov.
