Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Utah Division of State History Data Sharing and Management Project (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00319) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management). The core purpose of the project was to build, run, and keep up a GIS-based cultural resources database that BLM cultural resource managers in Utah could actually use in day-to-day work. Rather than being a database that only exists in theory, the emphasis was on making it functional and practical, with consistent availability to BLM staff who manage archaeological, historic, and other cultural resource information on public lands.
A major piece of the project was improving how data moves between the Utah BLM and the Utah State Historic Preservation Office (Utah SHPO). The opportunity specifically called for a mechanism that allows both organizations to access and share cultural resource data easily, reducing barriers caused by incompatible systems, inconsistent formats, or informal one-off data transfers. In other words, the grant was meant to support not just a technical system, but an ongoing working relationship where both sides can reliably exchange information needed for planning, compliance, and resource protection.
The announcement also made clear that coordination was not optional. Regular communication and recurring meetings were treated as essential to meeting the project goals, with funding intended to support those meetings and continued collaboration. This included participation in the annual CRDSP meeting, which was identified as part of maintaining alignment, tracking progress, and evaluating whether the database and data-sharing approach were meeting the needs of BLM cultural resource managers.
Finally, the project included a training component aimed at ensuring BLM cultural resource staff could confidently use the GIS cultural resource database. Utah SHPO was expected to provide annual trainings, or additional training as needed, so that staff skills kept pace with the system and the workflow. This reflects a recognition that even a well-built database will not succeed if the end users are not trained to enter, update, retrieve, and interpret the data consistently.
In terms of funding and eligibility, the opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000 and a stated award amount of $30,000 (listed as both the ceiling and floor). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility was limited to state governments. The notice was posted and created on August 27, 2010, with an application closing date of September 10, 2010, and it was later archived on November 30, 2010. The listed contact for access issues was Andrea J. Ramos at the Bureau of Land Management (801-539-4145, aramos@blm.gov), and the opportunity referenced grants.gov for the full announcement details.
