Opportunity Summary:
The "BLM UT Paleontogical Data and Technology" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM UT NOI 09 1685) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on natural resources and more specifically on cultural resource management as reflected by CFDA 15.224. The core purpose of the program is to continue and strengthen a long-standing cooperative working relationship between the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) centered on managing paleontological resource data. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at improving how fossil and paleontology-related information is collected, stored, maintained, shared, and used so that both agencies can make better, faster, and more consistent land and resource management decisions.
The project described is structured as a Cooperative Agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in planning, coordination, or implementation. The emphasis is on joint planning and shared responsibilities to make paleontological data management more efficient and to raise overall data quality and accessibility. The description highlights a collaborative approach that can include cost sharing in a broad sense through contributions such as staff labor, use of property, or funding when available, but the announcement explicitly states there is no formal cost sharing or matching requirement for applicants.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $250,000, with individual award amounts expected to fall between a floor of $500 and a ceiling of $50,000. Only one award is anticipated. This suggests a single recipient would likely receive support for a defined scope of work that advances data and technology needs tied to paleontological resources, potentially including improvements to databases, data standards, digitization workflows, data integration, or tools that increase the availability and usability of information for both UGS and BLM.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that may appear in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date are both September 10, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2009, indicating a very short application window at the time it was active. The opportunity was archived on October 16, 2009. For official details and full application instructions, the announcement points applicants to Grants.gov and provides a contact for access issues: Maria A. Gochis at mgochis@blm.gov.
