Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Whoopup Petroglyph Ash Damage Assessment grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00283) was a discretionary Bureau of Land Management funding call focused on cultural resource management under CFDA 15.224. The project centered on assessing wildfire-related impacts to petroglyph panels at the Whoopup site in Wyoming by studying fire-deposited ash and its effects on rock surfaces. The core purpose was to determine, through careful scientific evaluation, which petroglyph panels were most at risk and therefore needed the most urgent conservation treatment.
The work described in the announcement emphasized microscopic inspection of rock surface samples taken from affected panels. By examining these samples at a microscopic level, investigators would evaluate the severity and character of ash-related damage, which can include residue accumulation, chemical alteration, or surface changes that may accelerate deterioration of the carved or pecked imagery. The intended outcome was a prioritized treatment plan, meaning the assessment would translate into practical management guidance: identifying the panels where intervention was most immediately necessary and helping land managers allocate limited preservation resources to the highest-need areas first.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, indicating that BLM anticipated substantial involvement in the project rather than a fully hands-off grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $18,000. No cost sharing or matching was required. Although award ceiling and floor were listed as $0 in the notice (a formatting detail that sometimes appears in archived postings), the overall expected funding level for the single project was stated as $18,000.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, positioning the project for universities or similar academic entities with relevant expertise in archaeology, conservation science, geology, or materials analysis. The opportunity was posted on August 28, 2012, with an original and final closing date of September 11, 2012, and it was archived on September 20, 2012. For access issues or questions, the contact listed was Robert J. Tichac at the BLM (phone 307-775-6313; email rtichac@blm.gov).
