Opportunity Summary:
The BLM-Idaho Shoshone-Paiute Cultural Resource Protection Plan opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00272) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to support the continuation of an existing cultural resource protection effort that began in 2010. The core purpose is to keep building on that established Shoshone-Paiute Cultural Resource Protection Plan by safeguarding cultural resources and supporting the continuation of tribal traditions, while also aligning this work with BLM's public land responsibilities under its multiple-use mandate. A central theme of the opportunity is not only protection, but also improving public understanding and appreciation of Shoshone-Paiute cultural resources and living traditions connected to public lands.
The program sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA number 15.224. Eligibility is narrowly focused: the only eligible applicants are federally recognized Native American tribal governments, reflecting the government-to-government nature of cultural resource stewardship and consultation. The agency anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $25,000, indicating a targeted, limited-scope continuation project rather than a broad multi-recipient grant competition.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the award is structured around substantial involvement by BLM in carrying out the work, which typically means active coordination, shared planning, and ongoing collaboration rather than a purely hands-off grant. In practical terms, this kind of agreement generally supports joint efforts that may include planning and implementing protective measures for culturally significant places and objects on or associated with public lands, coordinating monitoring or stewardship activities, strengthening protocols that reduce damage or unauthorized disturbance, and supporting outreach or education intended to increase respectful public awareness. The emphasis on "multiple uses" signals that the effort is designed to protect resources and traditions in a landscape that may also be used for recreation, grazing, energy or rights-of-way activities, and other public land purposes, making proactive planning and communication an important part of the project.
The notice was created on August 19, 2016, with an original closing date of September 2, 2016, which is a short application window consistent with a continuation of an existing agreement where partners and scope are already well defined. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused BLM-Idaho partnership mechanism to continue a long-running Shoshone-Paiute cultural resource protection framework, balancing preservation and respect for tribal cultural values with BLM land management responsibilities, and pairing on-the-ground protection with efforts to improve how the broader public understands and values these resources and traditions.
