Opportunity Summary:
The BLM UT Monticello Site Stewards and Utah Rock Art Digital Archives opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00233) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support cultural resource management in southeastern Utah. The project centers on a long-running partnership between the Utah BLM Monticello Field Office and Edge of the Cedars State Park and Museum (EOC), which have jointly supported the Utah Site Steward Program (USSP) for several years. The main purpose is to continue and strengthen on-the-ground monitoring and protection of significant cultural resources on public lands, while also improving long-term access to rock art documentation by converting older, previously recorded records into a modern, searchable digital archive.
A key focus of the funding is sustaining the Utah Site Steward Program in the Monticello area by supporting the work of a USSP Regional Coordinator. Through this coordinator, cultural sites are monitored, site stewards are trained, and volunteers help share appropriate knowledge with the public in ways that encourage preservation rather than harm. The program is described as having expanded over the prior two years and, as of 2011, included about 30 volunteers. EOC already contributes in-kind support such as partial funding, office space, and computers for the coordinator, while BLM has historically added funding to cover work hours needed to keep the program effective. This award is intended to keep that relationship going and help ensure continued protection of dozens of high-value cultural resource sites located on BLM-managed public lands, reflecting the fact that site stewardship supports compliance with multiple cultural resource laws and regulations.
The second major component is the Utah Rock Art Digital Archives effort. This part of the project addresses the practical problem that substantial rock art data had already been recorded and stored at EOC but was not easily accessible in a computer-based format. Grant funds are intended to help digitize southeastern Utah rock art documentation into a searchable database suitable for researchers and resource managers. The digitization scope specifically includes integrating maps, site records, and photographs, turning legacy materials into an organized digital collection that can be searched and used more efficiently for research, planning, and preservation work. The overall aim is to improve both day-to-day management of sensitive sites and the broader ability to study and safeguard what the announcement describes as southeastern Utahs world class rock art.
In terms of administration and deliverables, the award anticipates routine reporting tied to both major work streams. The recipient is expected to produce an annual Site Steward Program summary report and also submit an annual progress report on rock art digitization to the BLM. These deliverables help document volunteer stewardship activity, site monitoring outcomes, training efforts, and measurable progress toward building the digital archive.
The opportunity was posted August 17, 2011, with an application deadline of September 9, 2011, and an archive date of October 9, 2011. It expected a single award. The estimated total funding available is listed as $50,000, and the listed award floor and ceiling are both $10,000, indicating the specific award amount for this announcement was set at $10,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The CFDA number tied to the program is 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). For access issues or questions, the contact listed is Andrea J. Ramos, Contracting Officer, at 801-539-4145 and aramos@blm.gov.
