Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Project Archaeology Human Migration CESU grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00219) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Natural Resources activity category, with a focus on cultural resource management (CFDA 15.224). The core purpose was to support the development and delivery of an educational curriculum for students that explains and interprets human migration across the landscape, using National Historic Trails and related travel corridors as the central teaching framework. In practice, this meant educational content tied to historic routes and transportation networks such as other trails, roads, railroads, and similar pathways used by different groups over time to move through or settle in the region. The intended outcome was to increase student awareness of these cultural resources and strengthen public stewardship of historic and archaeological places located on public lands.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal cash or in-kind support as a condition of eligibility. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which usually indicates that final award sizing and structure would be determined through the full announcement details and negotiation.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the opportunity was associated with the CESU framework (Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units), which is commonly used by Interior bureaus like BLM to partner with universities and other research and education institutions. The opportunity was posted on July 16, 2015, with an application closing date of September 7, 2015, and it was archived on September 15, 2015. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement materials were directed to contact Robert J. Tichac at the BLM (phone 307-775-6313; email rtichac@blm.gov).
