Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "CESU Paleontological Research within Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00293) to support scientific research focused on fossils on National Landscape Conservation System lands, specifically within Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The opportunity was released under the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (GB CESU) program, a partnership framework designed to connect agencies with universities and other partners for research, technical assistance, and education tied to public land management needs.
Funding for the project was estimated at $100,000 total, with one expected award. The stated award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was $25,000, indicating proposals could potentially be funded at different scales within that range depending on the scope and merit of the application. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of receiving federal support. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, reflecting its connection to managing and understanding resources on public lands that are also used for recreation and conservation.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the announcement was open to any type of applicant entity as long as they met any conditions described in the full announcement (not included in the summary text). Because it was issued through the CESU program, participation often aligns with CESU member institutions or partners, but the eligibility field indicates it was broadly open subject to details in the complete instructions.
The posting and application timeline was short and clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on August 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2014. It was archived on September 15, 2014. Applicants were directed to download the complete announcement and application package through the "APPLICATION" tab in the full listing, suggesting that specific proposal requirements, deliverables, reporting expectations, and evaluation criteria were provided there rather than in the brief synopsis.
For questions or trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Gretchen Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 775-861-6740 or by email at geykelbosh@blm.gov.
